What did you use on the seam that joins to the roof skin? Did you use lead, metal filler or regular filler?

Superfreak: I actually haven't put anything on the seams yet. There seems to be a lot of debate over what is "best" for those seams. I doubt that I will be using lead though.
69Cuda340S: Thanks for the comments. The car is really starting to look nice now.
It was a big push to get the car to this stage. I am going to start on the fenders, doors, and hood this week. They will require very little metal work. Just stripping the paint and getting some primer on them.

Thanks Rich, It should be pretty sweet when it is finished. By the way, I am super pleased with the plug wires I got from you a couple of years ago. I'll be purchasing another set when I get this thing together.

Looking good Stan! Any progress on the A12, or concentrating on the Hemi X for now?
James, I have done very little to the Super Bee. I HAVE to get this car together before I start on that. I have pushed it around the garage a few times to make room for stuff. It will be my Dad's car. Hopefully in the next few years him and I can take our cars cruising together. I'm looking forward to it.

A little more progress. I have actually got the doors and fenders ready for primer but as those of you on the East Coast already know, we had ourselves a bit of a snow storm. My garage is too small and when I prime these pieces, I need to push the GTX outside while I do it. I'm not going to push it out in the snow right now because I would have a heck of a time pushing it back into the garage.
So, I have taken some time to take the front suspension apart. If you remember from some of my earlier posts, the K-member had some really hacked up bolt holes. I cut out a 3/8" brass plate and used it as a backing while I welded the holes back up. I did all four yesterday afternoon. They turned out great.
