Sorry, somehow I missed your previous question.

Lead filling is basically lead 'body putty'. If the surface is properly prepped, it wont rust, fall off, bubble. The problem is that it is not easy and can get expensive realy quick. It also adds more weight than normal body putty. However, if done correctly, you wont regret it. It is normally the way cars were repaired in the 'dark ages' :roll: :wink:

Does this help?
