Fender Benders...
While the metal parts of the body were in pretty good shape
its obvious the Pontiac had been in a few minor fender benders--literally.
After repairing the fenders and straightening them out, Carl
proceeds to finish them off with a little lead-work. Leading is old-school,
like Carl, and it makes for stronger repairs than plastic fillers. And should
the pontiac ever get in another fender-bender, the fender will be easier
to repair. Lead also has more "give" to it, and won't shatter
in the case of a minor impact.
The lead is applied reletively thick over and around the repair
welds and then smoothed out with a file. When finished, the fender will
be smooth and all metal.
With the metal repair finished, the fenders are spryed with
epoxy primer.
