At SUNI 3 in Big Sky, Doug Jennings indicated that the preferred way to
do seam filling now is to use body filler (or high-build primer) over
etching epoxy primer. The lead and steel in leaded joints cause
electrolytic corrosion as soon as it gets wet, and it comes loose over
time as well as accelerating the corrosion of either the lead or the
steel at the seam.
Lead might still be the hot-rod choice but that's only because it's
properly old-school, not because it's the best.

Given the list subjects of late, it appears Chrysler was, "ahead of its
time!" :-) Tom
