Quality work, very good. Did you use lead or something else as a filler? I did same job to my ´68 with my friend at winter 2005 - 2006 and we used lead to get nice surface.

We just welded spots until it was a solid seam. The main goal was to end up with a solid continuous piece of sheetmetal. We will add a thin layer of body filler to smooth out the surface from all of the grinding.
