one observation,.....the lip between the front panel arch and wing lip arch, where they join toghether, I would weld that shut, for 2 reasons; 1 prevents the front panel from loosening( cracks in paint) 2 rust prevention in the long term. I would do the same where the arch lip meets the A-panel lip..... both sides of the car of course

lines between the panels? All I am saying that wont alter nout, just you need to strenghten bot panels at the lip and join the lip toghether, that area is a lotta pull on it like a guitar string, if vibrates when driving it might come loose....

no problem, after sealing the line/cut, will the lip be welded shut again..?
