Guys,

Under the tailight assemblies on my car was some bubbly paint. A few curious pokes with a flathead and if found a pencil sized hole in the sheet metal lip that holds the assembly in. Do i need a welder for this. Why not just grind off the rust and put something else there (Lead?). Any ideas?

Pictures would help a lot here. Let me see what you have to work with.

On instinct I say avoid the lead. Heavy metals are bad things. Fiberglass is better, but in most cases welding and proper metal work is better.
