If you are going to the effort of stripping the car, I'd suggest getting rid of the leading as well. It probably contains hairline cracks and does not hold up as well as the modern bondo products. It puddles off easily with a propane torch. After you get it off, it's a good idea to strengthen the welds under it or, better yet, to add some gussets/doublers to strengthen the areas.
