very few people or shops use lead. i use fiberglass reinforced filler (tiger or gorilla hair) for any type of seam that has depth to it like the quarter panel. did mine back in 98-99 and have put it through a lot of abuse, including running drag radials at the strip (12-0s) and no signs of cracking or shrinking. metal to metal or all metal would likely be ok, but i prefer something that has a more interconnected type of filler reinforcement of any area that's going to see a lot of stress.

Bolted tailpan to car, test fitted lights, fiberglass filler panel, and rear spoiler.

wwilder9 · 06-04-2009, 09:34 PM

Then I started welding the tailpan onto the car.

After getting tail pan welded into car had to weld on the trunk lock bracket and studs for the lock itself, also the bracket that goes inside the bumper in the center.
