Quarter Panel Removal Q?

[Topcat]

what have you found to be the best way to remove the lead filler, and are you re-leading or using another product

This is just about everything you need for Lead work. A propane torch to melt the old lead out.

You should be alright with just POR 15 for awhile, but the POR 15 is not UV resistant.

I always remove the lead with a propane torch.  It probably isn't the healthiest way, but then again, what choice do I have.  I don't have access to one of those big filter thing-a-ma-jigs like they use on Muscle Car that filters the fumes while you remove the lead. 

Be sure to clean the surface good before trying to re-weld.

I like to use Metal-To-Metal on all previously leaded seams.  The stuff is great and resists cracking and helps prevent rust.  Healthier than using the lead too.

Oh yea, check out my new lower prices on tail panels and front fenders.

Thanks,

I used a propane torch to remove the lead as many others have.  Once the new panel was in place, I was just going to layer the bondo on thick to fill the space.  Just kidding!     I know better than that!     I haven't looked into any products to filll the space yet.  I will check out the Metal to Metal product Daniel mentioned.

Thanks for the driver's side pic!  My car will be out of the elements (garaged) while I'm taking car of the rest of the body work so UV issues with the epoxy paint shouldn't be an issue.
