In response to fbama73
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.
This is 100% correct! And I admire fbama73 for staying old school. I've had thought about doing it myself for the same reasons but not on a four-door  . I'm also not crazy about the idea of not being able to sand lead, if you want nice paint you need to lay down something that's sandable on top of the lead. That means a extra step that I can do without on this project.
2blu52 - did you overreact? I didn't interoperate your post that way. Lead is dangerous if improperly used but it's not Antrax lol. I see nothing wrong with using it if your well informed as fbama73 is. I just don't want to see someone jump in and treat it like bondo.
