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'
Does this help?

hhhmmm.....its a dying art lead filling!! i got my dad to teach me while he was still willing and able and had the interest to do it. I'm not sure on cost though, but it does work like a dream.

hey samba
once you have finished with the body repairs you need to do the roof section first when that is done we can take it from there.
