My 1928 Chevy truck is getting close to having the body work done. I only have one more piece of metal facade to install around the passenger side pillar and then all the wood will be covered with the metal pieces. Now, I need some advice. There are about 10 pieces of metal that are installed with carpet tacks holding them in place. The ten pieces butt up against each other but there are gaps. In the old days, these gaps were leaded in if I remember right. The previous owner, who dismantled the truck by pulling and ripping everything off with a crow bar, caused a lot of damage at these seam areas but I have put them together so they are "close".... I still have a slight seam of as much as 1/8 of an inch that must be filled. Is leading still an option? Somebody "braised" (spelling?) the seams at one time too, but it was not done at the factory in 1928 (don't want to learn how to braise very badly either).....I considered bondo? and dismissed that.... fiberglass resin? Better, but still cracks too.... Leading? Can you still get this stuff? Where? or an alternative (Something from Eastwood maybe?)... I hate to leave the crack open so the wood is exposed.... Ideas and suggestions welcome, especially if there is a link to a website that shows/explains it all.... Thanks...
