Lead can be dangerous if improperly worked. You don't sand lead, you file it. And (I'm pretty sure)you have to be careful not to heat it too much or it can vaporize and get airborne that way.
My plan for my Chevy is that it's already had enough plastic in the body. I'm building it as a lead sled, and I mean a TRUE lead sled. I have the materials to apply it, and a nice selection of vixen files to shape it.
When I get to the point of smoothing things out, I'll be sure to document my learning curve and results on my blog, so those interested can see.
Nothing wrong with using plastic, if it's done right- I'm just wanting to learn and use some of the traditional techniques as I build a traditional custom
