I am at the filling stage with my 69 and was wondering if I should lead or bondo. I've never leaded so much on a car before but the amount of filler I would have to use is rediculous. I got in over my head on this project.

Heres what I modified on the car as of yet:

dripp rails shaved;
side molding shaved;
side view mirror shaved;
antenna shave (will be frenched in the future);
rear vents above decklid shaved;


the body work was pretty straight for the most part until I got to the area where the doors are things are a little messed up! :o Help... Bond/glass or lead?

leading is a very delicate process, if the acid wash is not done properly and tinned correctly then you will not get adhesion also your using heat so if you dont know what your doing you could cause more damage then good. i'm not sure what prices our like were your at but from what ive been told good body solder aint cheap. if it was me i would cover the big damage with duraglass and then go over the it with some evercoat get the rage its better.
