I have just finished replacing everything between the front Door posts and Rear Corner Post. I was wondering if I should seal the seam between the upper, lower qtr posts where they meet the corner post. If you guys have any other tips for me on avoiding rust I would really apppreciate it. I just dont want my Investment rusting on me on done the road.

I can help. Get some epoxy primer and brush it in there the best you can. Then use a blow gun to blow it around in that seam so it gets all over in there. Wipe off what runs down the quarter panel. Go and get some URETHANE seam sealer and run a nice bead along that seam. Hold the calking gun right up tight so it squeeses into the seam. Wet yourself a rag with some wax and grease remover and rub along seam to smooth it out. Just leave it in the seam and wipe everything else off. Let dry a while before you primer it , at least a hour. :)

This means that I am going to be trying to redo the seams on my Bronco in the not to distant future and want to be able to find this thread so that I can use this very useful info. Instead of searching, I can just look in the history of topics I posted in and it will be there.

Everybody knows when 2Bad gives advice on paint and body work that you should listen.
