Subject:seam rust
From:Brett Ne

I'm doing some touch-up work on Albert to strip & repair some areas where
the bondo that was used by some previous owner has cracked & is starting to
rust underneath.  On the previous work, they had filled in some of the body
seam with bondo, but of course the flex of the two panels cracks the bondo
& allows water in.  I am planning on just priming and painting the seam.
Is there a better way of handling the seams to keep it from rusting as long
as possible?  Anti-rust compounds?  Special seam sealer/filler?  Moving to
Arizona??
