[Tigers] seam sealer fine points

[pirouette at charter.net]

Hey,
     I'm about to undecoat the wheel wells and (soon) topcoat the engine bay and I did my seam sealer in the bay before primer by memory.  Now I'm having doubts.  I've got pretty much everything on the firewall sealed below the level of the little wedge shaped bar that goes across near the top (the one that has the two brackets for the fender support tubes mounted on it).  I remember the bottom of this being sealed all across, but the top not and any seams above up to the scuttle not as well.  Is that factory correct??  Also, the ends of this bar leave a little gap where it would meet the sides....sealed or not??  And lastly, in the front wheel wells, the long longitudinal seam high in the inner well between the inner and outer fenders......my memory is not sealed, but.....????....
     I'm not committed to perfect stock althogh I'd like to maintain it when possible, so if someone feels that sealing something that wasn't done so stock is a good idea, I'd like to know that too.
     Offlist replies would be fine unless the list wants to know this rather picayune info.
