to seam seal and under coat or not Options

[mrbubblehead]

it would be nice if we had a paint and body forum in our beloved 914world to ask these kind of questions ...

i have spent months and months scraping seam sealer and under coating and sand blasting rust and alot of welding. i then put a coat of rustolium primer to temporarily protect the bare steel until all of my metal work is finished. then plan to blast off the rustolium one section at a time and shoot an epoxy primer over the bare steel.

now my question to you paint and body gurus. is it necessary to re-seam seal the seams?

it was such a pain staking task removing every spec of seam sealer (at times with a dental pick) i hate to apply anything that caused so much rust in the first place. im glad i took the time to strip the original sealer out of there. because even though it looked in tact and in good condition i would find rust underneath it. now im sure it will be rust free.

if i do need to reaply the seam sealer, when do i do it? to the bare blasted metal? after the epoxy primer? what type of seam sealer should i use? i really dont want to have to buy the special wurth gun. the original sealer look is of no concern to me.

as far as undercoating, if it is necessary i thought about taking the tub dowm to have the bottom and fender wells rhino lined but i hate adding any unnecessary weight.

this car will be driven alot if not daily except for rainy days.

any thoughts

damn that looks good too panelbilly..... do you explain the process in your thread? if not could you explain it here? and the the paint and liner you used? did you leave it black or paint it the body color? did you primer the steel first?
