I've looked into Eastwood. Prob where I'd get my supplies
For future reference, wheel weights are hit and miss. Some are a decent lead/tin alloy, others are not. A lot of the modern ones do not melt well or uniformly. They are very lousy for soldering onto steel.
If you want any lead bodywork supplies, visit Eastwood.com and buy from them. The material and tools are not cheap but they are good.
I am not like Glen... I don't have a lot of skill with sheet metal. However, I have used lead for a trivial handful of tiny repairs. The body solder from Eastwood melts and flows well.

Eastwood has kits and tools as well.

Thanks for all the tips then. I was thinking of wheel weights...my dad and nephew work at a dealer so I'm sure I could score enough--but not warranted now.
