Getting it done,nice work Mark

Very nice work!!
What do you use or prefer to use to fill the quarter/roof seam?

it'll be welded solid, that needs to be mentioned....

I've used All Metal, but I prefer Marine Tex (grey)

back in the 80's working at the sea shore, the older body shop guys swore by it. Well known among boat guys, and body shops were using it to repair Corvettes.

I'll likely do an application, rough it up, and do a second........ rough it again and a skim of filler over top has never fokked me. I trust it.

I use it on all my welded patches, front and back if possible

Marine Tex - ITW Performance Polymers

I was waiting for a nice day, it was 60 yesterday...... I marine-texed the challenger seams

That’s what I use for thermoquad jet wells, never thought of using it for body seams.

it's a shame to remove that brace, it matches the patina perfectly
