But should smoothing out the welded seams of the standard production be the rule? Or filling in the dimples of the original spot welds? Doing an invisible seam on a panel where you are replacing rust then yes that to me is appropriate.

No,No,No ! Let us not forget that these and countless other vehicles produced for WW2, were manufactured for one job and one job only - to win the war. By smoothing away welds, and filling in spot welds, you are removing it's originality, character and detail. Personally, I love to see a vehicle that shows it's spot welds and original welds, that to me shows that who ever restored it, is dedicated to presenting it as it would have been manufactured. To be honest, I reckon the paint jobs we do are probably far better than were originally applied
That's my two penneth worth !

P.S. I know you would'nt smooth out original welds, or fill in spot welds, would you Phil ?
