semi-smooth firewall?

[67rstbkt]

I want to partially smooth out the sheet metal transition on my 67 firebird and was wondering if it would be o.k to use a metal based body filler instead of seam sealer and smooth out the transition. I'm not looking for a completely smooth firewall look; just factory with a little flair. Is this a good option?
Thanks; I'll post some pics of my progress later.

if there is a seam,it will have to be welded and ground smooth before any filler can be applied or you will be taking a chance on filler cracking

Got it; so weld it up, grind smooth, then use metal based filler:thumbsup:

yep that's the way to do it, if you're patient enough you can weld and smooth out the welds to where you won't need any filler,but it takes time
