I have re-sealed several GM products with good success.  NAPA sells an OE
grade seam sealer.  It is grey color, so you would probably want to use
masking tape near each side of the seam when applying.  Then paint over
after it is dry.

ready to grind, sand, seal, prime, AND  paint?

if you dont have any rust, just reseal it.
