I know what you are talking about. I had tonnes of it on my car. I don't
know what it is called but I was surprised to still find that stuff stuck on
my car after 23 years. I would take a sample of it a hardware or body shop
and ask them what it could be. 
        I am thinking of doing the samething. Sealling wise. But I may have
a new technique. Get some gasket cork and use it as a seal. You can seal it
with silcon and I figure it will never let water enter the seams. Never
tried it but it's worth a shot. Also, I will be priming the shell with
POR-15(www.POR-15.com). With that you can be sure your car will never rust
again.

Good luck
