Re: [Chrysler300] 300L Rocker Panels

["Steve Galezowski" <stevenlulu@xxxx>]

The car has been stripped now and it turns out that in fact the seam is lead
filled. The body man on the job says it is original factory fill. He was
very excited about the car since he tells me it is all original rust-free
sheet metal and completely accident free too. Meanwhile, when I bought the
car I thought it was a good car but I thought it was too bad about the fill
in the rockers which would need fixing. I must say it is really a pleasant
surprise to find out the car you bought is better than you thought - usually
it's the other way around!
