used to be standard in filling in seams on older cards back when.
Then somebody figured out the fumes were causing body havoc with the 
body workers.

Here is youtube link.

Not so many years go I watched my Dad repair a dent and some corrosion on h=
is vintage 1949 teardrop Buick, a beautiful car. He used a blowtorch to mel=
t some lead in a cast iron crucible and a wood paddle he had shaped to appl=
y it to the clean metal surfaces. This was followed by a rough file to shap=
e the lead and sandpaper to smooth it before primer was applied. More sandi=
ng, more primer, then the top coat was faded in, ending with careful polish=
ing, etc. You couldn't tell a repair had been completed.  He was careful ab=
out the fumes and wore gloves when filing and shaping the metal, Later, con=
cerned about lead fumes, he used Bondo, being very careful in it's applicat=
ion and top coat. After a few years the Bondo cracked and started to fall o=
ut. The lead repair was still there, undetectable, when the car was sold.

I've stripped a few front aprons and all of them had some lead. Rest of the
cars not so much, but present.
