Recently I installed a new RH side AMD quarter panel to my 72 Camaro. To remove the old quarter I used a propane torch to get the lead out where the roof and quarter meet. Then I drilled out the spot welds, and cut through the brass welded spots with a cutoff tool. When I installed the new quarter panel I used those same spot weld holes plus I stitch welded the entire seam. My question is since I stitch welded the seam do I still need to put lead solder in that area, or can fiberglass filler be used? What about the spots that had brass, do I have to weld in that as well? This is my first quarter panel that's why I am asking for advice.
I agree with Krabben. But messing with the lead is kinda fun......should try it sometime. I gotr super results with it.
you can use the all metal as mentioned above. I prefer to use lead on my cars. Its just a craft that once you learn its hard to go away from. on my car I added a filler plate after welding in the quarter seam solid. I then Leaded a less than 1/16th" depth to bring flush.
glad to see this thread. I have to attack this on an otherwise almost perfect bodied car. Both of my panals are cracked on both sides.
I have a small gap where the qtr window channel meets the roof so I plan yo fab a small piece of 20 guage to it
