Hi group:

Time to start the bodywork on my 57 GMC.  Now I'm a very good mechanic but 
relatively inexperienced when it comes to bodywork.  What's the best way to 
restore sheet metal?  I've tried some leading on the holes but it kindda just 
leaks through.  I've filled some small holes with brass, this seems to work 
pretty good.  Now I'm thinking of brazing on some patches behind the sheet 
metal and leading on the front side.  What's the best way guys?
