We've been doing the body prep work getting ready to paint my '65 Fastback. We have some stress cracks at the quarter/roof line and it seems from reading old posts that the quarter/roof line joints were welded with "lead".
Well my body shop would rather not remove the lead and wanted me to ask the forum about some good materials to put over the top of the lead and steel to strengthen the seams before using bondo. He does not do lead welding.
How do we properly address these stress crack areas before painting. Would any of the metal adhesive materials work on lead and steel and not be prone to future cracking or do we bite the bullet and clean out all the old lead? Which ones would be best.
