Anyone know how much of this area in the picture needs seam sealing? All the seams here or just some of them?

none of the seams in that pic require sealing. that is the area where the wiper cowl drains.

Thanks Musclerodz. I suspected that were the case for the reason you mentioned.

Jeremy ... the leading edge of the cowl was originally seamed on my car. The front of the rocker panel had plumbers putty installed in between the triangle gaps (I welded mine shut with a blank panel) ...

I would seam all the gaps EXCEPT the bottom where the water is supposed to drain out!!!!!

My .02 cents.

Thanks Michael

It's been so long since I had sandblasted my car, that I couldn't remember what was suppose to be sealed and what wasn't. I knew some of it was sealed though. I know how moisture can get trapped, so I wanted to make sure I didn't seal more than I needed.

Musclerodz (Mike) has spooked me a bit, so I have come up with an alternative to my original plan. It will take me a little bit to execute, as more prep work will be involved, but the end result will be justified.

Winter has officially reared its ugly head here. This will slow down progress a bit as I'll have to try and maintain a warm temp in the garage to keep the metal on the car warm enough. Although, we have relatively mild winters here. It can still get cold!

From giving up and selling the car... To primer... Are you having fun yet? This supposed to be a hobby... Nice work. Keep a it!:D

Thanks Greg!

Tough to give up on something I've put so much blood, sweat, tears and money into. It keeps me busy and occupied. I enjoy it, but what pushes me is the end result I envision in my mind. It frustrates the hell out of me sometimes, though:bigun2:

Hopefully I did not spook you too much, just making sure guys here hopefully learn from some of my misfortunes.

I appreciate you sharing your experience and I certainly encourage to keep giving tips if you see something I may need advice on.

My new slight change of course is only going to cost more :G-Dub:

Progress on the money pit today consisted of floating body filler of the drivers rocker, couple low areas on top of the driver quarter, small divot along the roof just about the rain gutter. Took me about 5 hours to accomplish that. Geez I'm slow. Good thing I work by the hour:lol:
