Forming the front upper corner after welding
 

I am having the right upper corner of my A repair welded this Saturday.
My question is, after it is welded, what is the best material I should use to fill and form this area.
Should I use JB Weld or POR15 Epoxy Putty?

Thanks,

Have you considered lead?

John, the best is going to be 19 gauge sheetmetal that is proper formed and TIG-welded into position. If you don't do this correctly now, it will haunt you throughout the rest of the restoration phases.

Concur. That corner has to withstand a lot of stress and flexing on the slant windows.

Agreed!

It looks like that area has been worked before. I would imagine that what is left of the metal that is there, is thinner than original. Do a good repair on it, like what has been mentioned and it will last a long time. Welding it up and filled like what was done before, and it will look like it does now.

as BRENT stated, properly formed new 19 gauge metal, TIG.. and the least amount of body fillers. it can be done .

MIG weld or even oxy-acetelene weld works well

It looks to me like there is a ton of bog in thee already. I'd start removing it till I was back to decent metal that is close to the right shape, then I'd look at what I need to replace. As others have said, I'd use new metal of the correct thickness properly shaped and welded in.
Fix it right, fix it once.
