I dont know what was in mine to begin with. It was a vinyl roof car from the factory. When I got it, the roof to quarter seam had been cut out and attempted at a patch. Now I get to remove the crap the PO did and make it right.
I have seen MANY second gens with cracks there. I want to be sure it never happens to me.
Just say no to crack!:D

Eric PM Scott (protour73) He should have pictures of how I did his 73 Camaro 4 years ago and still looks as good as day one. I think the pictures that i have are on a different computer.

I would like to see photo's also.

Eric, what are you planning on usinig?

Are there any problems associated with working with lead? Is it easy to put on and work? Is it somewhat harmful while using it or after it has been applied?

Thanks Rick
I'm not sure yet Ron.
But to answer your question on lead, yeah it aint healthy for ya.

Right now I'm planning on going the lead route myself. It is "extra" so it might slip out of the plan for money reasons but like some of you, I think that is the "right" way to do it. Plenty of shops use other, more common fillers(fiber enforced filler, AllMetal, regular filler) and methods though without issue based on what I've found out. I think as long as whatever the choice if it is done well by a skilled individual, it will last.

They don't really use "lead" though due to health and environmental issues. It's some other similar "body solder" product. So some might argue "but it still isn't 'lead'" :)

I'll update with pics once the time comes.

Ron Fox,

All-Metal is a great product, used it for years and wouldnt attempt to use anything else for quarter seam applications. Applies well, sands well, and longevity and quality of the finish is fantastic. A light skim coat with some glaze when roughed out and youre ready for primer. :thumbsup:

+1 :)

Cut out recessed section and butt-weld a new strip of metal or use body solder/lead.

TIG only with that.

100% chance you'll see that weld in full sun if MIG welded.
