    CUTLASS COWL HOOD IS FINISHED!

    I would vote no line,the current line is to harsh and does not flow well. A soft ridge line would look much better if most want a line.

    Can you fill a rust hole with lead?

Use a fiberglass fine strand fill it seals and is moisture resistant,it is harder to work but is far better...
