I'm still in the process of reassembling my 6 project. Because the fenders
were painted off the car, I wanted a pliable sealer that would allow
repositioning. For sealing them I used a black 3M caulking that is made into
strips about a foot long. The paintable sealant is very pliable, fills gaps,
and never hardens. The strips are pressed in place with your thumb. Before
the project is done, I'll probably be repositioning a fender again to even
up a door gap.
Available from NAPA and other part suppliers the 3M number is 08578. NAPA's
Martin Senour paint line also offers a similar product #4424.
