Good Job Sir, you made it look easy.

Great tutorial on leading, the time I tried I was obviously using too much heat as it looked like all you used was just enough to get a good fast melt on the lead before paddling it into the holes and flattening it. If I ever get the chance to do that again, I'll remember this!

Eastwood's Basic Body Solder Kit helps you complete small leading jobs with better adhesion, strength and durability than plastic fillers Spreadable (plastic) range is 361-489 degreesF Includes tools and accessories 30/70 lead-based body solder is slightly easier to work with than our lead-free solder, and provides better adhesion, strength and overall durability than plastic fillers. Includes 2 lbs. of solder for small solder jobs." "

I have a 70 Camaro that was body worked and repainted I assume in the late 80s early 90s most all the filler shows cracks in it from age or deterioration.. The factory lead that connects the sail panel from the roof to the quarter is still perfect. Speaks highly of a repair like this...This cant be any worse for you health wise than all the chemicals in modern paints and primers just be cautious and use PPE.

Thank you for the video. I am restoring a 1970 Dodge Charger and the rear window area has lots of rust holes. I was planning on cutting out the rusty areas and patching in metal but this may be a better way. So often, even careful use of the MIG can result in burning through areas that are super thin. You start by trying to close up a tiny hole and end up making several larger holes that require more and more welding.

Great to see the old method for filling holes on panels. That lead won't go anywhere, like you say - far better than fillers. We vsll that technique 'lead loading' in the UK. One question - can you use this method on holes in flatter panels ? I am just thinking applying heat to one area on a flatter panel may cause distortion of the metal ?

@gillrodshop

4 жыл бұрын

Chris Ward thanks for watching and commenting! You should be fine as long as you heat the area around it evenly. The heat isn’t so bad but uneven heating/cooling is what warps panels. I’ve had car bodies baked and dipped in acid to strip the old body lead, fillers, and paint from them and they turn the oven up to 800 degrees F. 🙂
