Tx Tom, it is great stuff. When I tried the bottom of doors I had bowing and as I stuck with trying and trying the flux made a right mess of the good steel. Eventually gave up but I guess a panel with a bit of strength in it, keeps it shape. Brads right in re-using the lead/solder but it was a lot c...

Assuming you have checked for leakage by removing drums etc on brakes and found nothing, have you checked behind the rubber boot on the rear cylinder.

OMG. Your doing what I want to do on my bonnet. How did you get the curve front to back, did you use a shrinker?

And the wheel arch is done. What repair section did you use, original from another wing. Did you fill the gaps between the stiches? Looks really straight.

Your lead loading is making me want to give it another go. I tried once and gave up. It was the bottom of a door and warped. Great stuff.

Front suspension can be a problem on the top of spring. Heres a link to a previous STOC chat. Should be all you need.
