Thanks Iceburgh. Yes, I found a few minor dents that were just buttered over with filler instead of just pulled.

Wonder if all the holes were for the old time filler to take a bite? Are you going to replace the leaded over joints with butt welded 19 gauge?

Glad you had some shop time Marc. Looks pretty cozy with the tv up in the corner.
My friends dad offered to re-lead it for me. I'm not sure if I will trouble him or just use some modern reinforced filler for these areas. I just want to preserve them from getting worse.

Thanks Chizzler, I will have to look through my parts to see if I have a rear plate holder. I assumed that it just attached to the tail light.
