Stripped the cars paint today. Fortunately I did not find anything too shocking. But I did find a wee bit of rot in the tail light panel. The passenger quarter I knew had damage and the PO’s body guy did a good job with 10 lbs of bondo but that is now gone and I can see the damage, not bad at all. The passenger quarter does have many dings in the panel. The drip rails though are rusted through completely at the front on both sides.
Question: How do I fix the drip rails? What is the “BEST” metal filler to use? What about body solder (lead free)?

Thanks

 

Drip rails you make or cut off another car or shave off.Body solder is great if done right and does fill small holes nicely.I haven't used the lead free ones yet but i love the lead ones its a lost art and will last forever.

 

Body solder is a craft to learn. I tried it and it is something that requires more skill than I have. Like any body work, it is something only time doing will improve upon the results.
