Gerahead's 71 Dart

I took a little break from the project to go racing for the first time in 3 years. It turned out to be quite an ordeal getting to the track. About half way there I blew a tire on the tow vehicle. When the cap exited the wheel well, it took out the quarter panel, front wheel well brace, both splash shields, dinged the rear tank fill tube and broke the rear fill cap and dented the front of the trailer. Two other awesome racers headed to the same event stopped and helped get me back on the road. About a half hour further up the road, a tire on the trailer blew. This one was only three years old with no more than 200 miles on it. At that point, I was ready to head back home. Jeech!
Back to the Dart. I have both sides of the front and rear valences in sealer. The back side of the hood is sealed and the front side has two good coats of high build primer, ready for sanding. The inside of both fenders and the hood springs have been sealed. I have also applied all the seam sealer except for the door jambs. Question . . . do the door seams also have sealer applied to them?? Seems like they should, but I didn't see anything in the service manuals. I didn't take the car apart, so I don't know if there was sealer applied there originally or not. Making progress!! L8r
