Great job on the resto!!!!!!!!  
Did you use lead for the roof and quarter panel seam?? I just installed AMD full quarters on the '68 and the guy who will soon paint it insists that glass reinforced filler alone will suffice if the entire seam has been welded.
Used allmetal

From my experience all metal or reinforced fiberglass will work on everything except for some reason "E" bodies. E bodies have to be leaded. If not as soon as it heats up the seam will show big time. Since I got burned by this I now lead all of them to be safe.

Well every car we've done has Allmetal and so far no problems. Other cars that Nick has done has been the same way. Only top problem that I can remember was the vinyl top kept coming up. Turns out the glue he used wasn't any good.
Just make sure Nick uses lead on any E bodies he does or else I'll give him a big "I told you so"

He's doing several. One will be a hemi clone. I'll tell him or have him call you.
