Under the deck filler panel on a '67 hard top is a support frame. I'm talking about the area between trunk and package tray. Sandwiched between top panel and subframe was a thin sheet of sound deadener type padding. I was thinking of using a spray type deadener instead of the pad and after installing the top panel I was then going to spray some expanding foam insulation since the top panel really just kind of floats above the support structure. Original panels were much thicker and less prone to bend whereas I'm using a cheap repro panel. Anyone try this or should I do it the same as factory did? One more question for the pros. What should be done about the lead seams between the side panels? It has to be totally waterproof and bondo absorbs moisture or so I've been told. Been thinking of using MuggyWeld which melts at about 400 degrees. It's basically a solder that bonds well to metal. Heard some guys use a long thin piece of sheet metal and weld up the seam but I'm afraid I will warp the heck out of the brand new panel. Any suggestions are appreciated.
