When it comes to attempting to fill voids or pits with Lead "Not Solder on a roll" you would need to make sure you are actually using a torch and ensuring you heat the car to the point of the lead melting "if you chose lead work"! They still use lead in hotrod body work and it is a craft from an Era where body filler was not available. But you would also have to make sure that when you apply it, you take the time using the right tools and a torch to blend it. But a technique that might really work for you on this and keep you away from lead would be to use solder paste and either a heat gun or torch until it melts and flows! With the paste you could apply spot repairs easily and just heat it until it flows, you may need to find some custom jewelers tools for ring making in order to blend the repair smooth, then using your wheel and compound you could smooth the repair. When it comes to discoloration I worked in a Shop that handled Stainless for Marine Applications and in special situations or where we had issues with blending from welds we would use a White rough on the wheels, it leaves a finish that would better be suited for your restorations, but it is usually almost twice as much per bar than normal Rough! So looking on ebay I found these! Just search for low temp solder paste, they have a tube or "No Clean" for about $11.50 ebay item 282271534308 and the white polishing compound is $4.97 ebay item 191929298922 they also have 22 carving or sculpting spatulas for $27.99 for the solder work ebay item 361900810661 ! But you will also need a hot air rework system or small adjustable torch for the soldering and practicing using the solder method would be best before using it for many other restorations, that way you can perfect it! Also with the right type of compound "they do have buffing compound sticks for plastic" and with a dremel buffing wheel you could restore windshield's on the inside and outside! A 2lb bar for plastics is $21.95 ebay item 331612357160!

You have nailed it again on every point, thanks. The info, though fairly straight forward, is valuable and concise and you make it sound like so much common sense. I like the idea that economics can deliver near mint cars for a fraction of the cost of an original mint one. I guess it all depends on the detailing in the body and that would obviously dictate the amount of effort invested but the result is certainly worth the time and low dollars in materials. It's like watching old friends come back to life again. Your videos have singularly inspired me to do restores for myself.

If you work in industry you have to know the proper name for tools. If you're using them as an individual it doesn't matter what you call them, at all. People can see the tool in the video, they don't need to hear the name. Go to a tool store and they'll see them hanging up there for sale. Ignore the people saying you need to use the real name, you're a model car renovator, not an engineering tutor. At least not in this context. For a start they will have different names in different countries, and different names in different parts of those countries.

So here's an idea for filling gaps on REALLY screwed up cars: Fill in pits and scratches as you would, but then cover the body with aluminum or silver Bare-Metal Foil and paint as you would. The Bare-Metal Foil is essentially very thin metal and therefore can be treated as the car's original body, and can take a mirror polish.
