      67 F-body quarter to roof seam

      After replacing the quarters and roof on my 67 Firebird, I welded the parts together (obviously) and then used USC All-Metal to fill that gap. I know the factory used lead for this purpose, but I've never worked with that so I went this route. Now that I'm getting closer to the primer stage, I'm starting to worry that maybe I did the wrong thing? I've heard of people using that 3M bonding stuff to fill this gap because the All-Metal may be too brittle?

      Am I concerned over nothing? Should I dig out the All-Metal and go a different route? I don't want this cracking on me later on, especially after the car is painted.



      Thanks

      I have used All Metal without any issues over time. If you do decide to go another route I wouldn't suggest 3M panel bond. It is designed as a bonding adhesive, not a filler.
