Thanks for all of the great information on the guling of quarter panel skins. After reading all of the replys I think it might be best to just throw two new full quarters on the car instead of skins. I am not sure I am good enough with a welder to run all the way across the side of the car without warping it LOL

I did this a couple of years ago on a 65 and made some mistakes. I tried to stay away from the lead joint so I wouldn't have to re-lead it. The trouble with this was that I didn't get it welded in solidly enough and it really cracked after I got the paint on and drove it around. I also just used regular body filler.

I have been reading on using lead. I understand that there are products now that are much better that going back with lead or the lead substitute. What would you all recommend to use. I have heard of Metal to Metal and All Metal. Anyony have any experience with these and would they be strong enough and last?
