Fill panel under '50s pickup bed rail

Should look fine when finished. The best thing is the sides won't be a warped mess.

Simple approach is often the best.

That was my primary concern. The lines will show up in time but that seemed to not be a concern for others so I just "boiled it down" so to speak.

Thanks

Flip it upside down and apply a thin layer of lead. For tinning I use Past Weld also known as Solder Paste. The inside radius can also be struck round.

Thanks, but the piece is made and the job is done. I don't use lead or solder and the panels are bonded on in addition to the visible welds. For what its worth, I think a slight bend on the inside edge would produce a more visible line. But thats just me. Each side was made in two pieces due to length and matching that slight bend on all four may have been a challenge for me.

This thread actually highlights the fact that theres plenty of ways to do just about anything and your post supports that. Individual solutions have to meet the needs of the customer and the ability of the technician at the same time so here we are.
