BUT, I think I like the idea of taking it out all together and using your approach. Is this 3M stuff a Lowe's/Home Depot item or an automotive paint shop item?

Re: Rear fender welt
3 M strip calk is a part house item . It is a package of foot long strings of very pliable calking material. I used to use it to hold alignment shims in place until I tightened the A frame bolts when I was doing front end work. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-...3194020&rt=rud
Boy howdy that really has gone up in price in the past few years. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b.../08578/4462127 8 bucks less from Amazon if you have prime https://www.amazon.com/3M-08578-Blac.../dp/B000PEZ1L4 I used some double back tape to seal my windows on my boat that might work but it sticks pretty hard.

Re: Rear fender welt
3m strip caulk is non-hardening, we used it for plugging firewall holes in buses
3m double sided foam tape fit above the fender bolt holes allowed me to attach welt to fender as i cut out for bolts

Re: Rear fender welt
Guys....I'm interested in the 3M™ Strip-Calk. I'd like to fill the fender gaps on my 49 pickup. Can this product be applied without removing the fenders and will it clean up without any damage to my paint?

Re: Rear fender welt
strip caulk is not for that use
you'd be better off using latex window caulk

Re: Rear fender welt
You SOLD the '48?!!! HERETIC! HERETIC!
DOH, I somehow missed that. Concentrating on the Suburban only now? I won't ask what you sold it for - it would never be enough but can I ask where you listed it for sale? eBay, Craigslist, here, other? Just wondering in case I ever decide to sell mine.

It has occurred to me to sell mine. I haven't finished the upholstery yet but I can get that done soon. I think wanting one done, going through the process is so rewarding, getting it running and looking great is all the fun. Afterward owning and driving it is fun too but not AS fun, at least for me so far. How goes the Burb?

Re: Rear fender welt
Same here, strip caulk seals the gaps, protects from metal to metal contact and prevents squeaks without the unsightly welting. I used it anywhere body panels bolted together.
