I guess if you want originality then lead is the go.
Altho putty will do the job no doubt.

These guys used to do the segments on Gasolene :

Peach&Tomassini

Peter Tomassini has a shop now, not sure what happened to Peach.

Tomassini Restos

Cheers,

Dunno how true this is but I've heard people say that lead is less flexible than filler & more likely to crack. Peronally, I left the lead in mine because there was nothing wrong with it.

I believe the plastic fillers of today are far superior to the lead filler that was used in the past.
If it's properly applied it will last the life of the car.
I think it gets a bad rep from all the half arsed amateur jobs that you see on the road.
If you watch some of the American car shows, you see them cover the whole car in a skim of bog, then sand most of it off to achieve a perfect panel.
