1

We have installed a new set of qter panels as per the factory up in the roof joint. We will now apply body lead.

2

Rodney heats up the seams and applies tinning solder. This product adheres to the steel and then the lead adheres to it for complete results.

3

He then heats up and applies lead in a thickness that will allow shaving down and smoothing out to his desired shape.

4

He shaves the lead using a lead file and then uses a board file with 80 grit sandpaper being sure to not cut through the lead and past the tinning solder to the bare steel.

5

The lead has been smoothed down and is ready for primer. Another old school technique used for proven longevity is finished. Repairing things right since 1957 is what we do!
