Default I am going through this same build area.

Can you post how the lower seems from quarter to rear panel came out? both sides level and what was gap?
Like how you got the trunk line perfect using a cut on quarter. and the metal on roof to quarter is way better than lead fill. Mine has a small crack in it. Not sure I can weld it up as well as you did. You have probably been doing this for a long time by the quality of the work.

I didnt take pic of that for the moment but this gap is a little more than 1/4. I will work on this later.

Awesome! Since you choose to replace the roof lead, wonder if you would share your decision process? I've heard solid arguments both ways. Mine seems to be pretty solid, no cracks or separation, so I've been advised (by a pretty conservative paint expert) to leave it alone. Wonder your thoughts.

its just a preference for me. I prefer steel over lead but I'm not a body repair expert.
Time will tell if I take the good choice.
Some guy here use all metal, so I think lead or sheet metal is definitely a better choice.
Btw, I will be happy if my car is half cool of yours, your built impress me.
