In 1980, I purchased a 1966 Impala SS from the original owner. It was like
new, and he said it had never had anything done except general maintenance.
My brother being a GM mechanic validated the car was worthy of his little
brother owning, and I of course paid for it. I owned that car for close to
12 years, and decided to paint it. After stripping the body to bare metal I
found the lead seams on the roof to have a few layers of bondo smoothing out
the lead filler. That was the only place I found bondo but thought it was
worth mentioning.
