CrazyChevelleMan - My school instructor and others have told me to seal up the bottom of the car real good as when you drive, holes will suck in everything (water, trash, dirt, etc....). That said, it's a good idea to figure out where and what to seal. Now technically there are places that per the book should be seam sealed. I believe these are around the cowl, in the trunk, around the floor pans, around inside edges of doors....

If I'm wrong, please others chime in...

To me it just makes sense to seal what you can (make sure it's cosmetically appealing - most of it doesn't show) and perhaps most importantly, don't seal over an area that needs to drain. Like there's drain holes in the bottoms of the doors, etc....

I hope I'm speaking intelligently on this - it would be a first!?!?!? ;)
