Leading was the method used to smooth out low spots in body work prior to the uses of chemical products. If I understand your question correctly you want to lead over areas that are rusted out and this will not work. You need to have back up material and use the lead to finish and smooth up the area. Lead alone will not do the job any more than using bondo over a large hole.
