You may jest, but he has done leading in this bug.






it looks so good it makes me sick with envy!!

I know lol he used lead to clean the welds on the heater channels, hence my lead answer

are you sure ?....he used lead in the front quarters

Lead has been used, on front 1/4 panels, on the roof each side, rear 1/4 panel joints on b and c post's , each heater channel at the parts re shaped, to make them like early channels.




heater channel bulge cut out and new metal let in, welds ground down.



all leaded up to seal the joint from moisture and hide the welds.

the lead has been sanded down and then a skim of filler to straighten up.
