Thanks!
Well first I used a wire wheel to remove all the factory seam sealer (black sh*t), then I found some rust so I had to cut that out and patch in some pieces and grind the welds down. I also had to use a hammer and dolly to get the seam flat in some areas and tacked it down with a few welds and grind some more. Then fill the seam with all-metal body filler and sand smooth.

Good Luck its a pain in the ass, but its worth it in the end. ( that sounds funny)
