Don't use filler or you'll kick yourself in the nuts later on for it... Why not just replace with more seam sealant?

im trying to get this look and i'm only going to do a thin layer of filler, but i dont know if i have to weld where the seam sealent goes or take out the seam sealent and trow a thin layer of filler

you will have to weld the seams, cause the flex of the car will crack your thin layer of filler.

ima say just do a thin layer of seam sealer...because if you weld them up you're going to have to grind it down and apply a thin skim of filler either way?

just weld it up it cost 100 bucks at harbor freight for a welder, its not like you are looking for perfect welds. then you wont ever have to worry about it again.

I didn't even bother with either. There is still some in the seam when you remove the outer stuff. but if you use a filler it will crack, even if you spot weld it. Those are seams from when the car was assembled from many pieces. To get that look you have to grind it to pretty much flat, then weld, and then grind it to re-flatten it. Then you can use the filler to straighten the area out again. I've done it both ways and that latter of the two takes much longer with no too much of a result. Looks just as clean without the seams omitted. Good luck man.
