Looks like I'll go the Eastwood route(no sources here), and do it
myself. After all, I can do anything I try. I removed the original body
solder when taking the car apart, so it's just the reverse, with a
little 'hand' for good measure.
BTW: you can put together a better lead 'kit' at Eastwood by ordering
individual components instead of the kits they sell.

I need to find a good, knowledgeable old fart, (or young fart), to help
with leading in the body panels(body solder). Seattle area. Help, anyone?
Thanks

Greetings JR,
You will find that once you get the hang of it that it is real easy.
You can build up a surface quickly, melt part off if too proud, smooth
with a cloth, etc. It's kinda fun. And much more satisfying than using
bondo. I wonder if the lead free solder would was well as lead.
Probably not. It's probably too brittle or will become too brittle.
The biggest problem with leading is sanding and creating fines and
dust. It's amazing how little lead you have to ingest to make yourself
sick.
