Just wondering ... Should I seam seal the bottom of the frame? It was not from the factory...


What do you think ...

and where can I get the Fast and Firm seam sealer in North Houston?

Wouldn't hurt, I don't think. I haven't done the bottom yet, but it's in the plans.

I have read that the 3M product is the best. When I contacted a local body shop they told me they get it from local auto parts stores. Autozone has one brand (its about $11.00) and O'rielly"s had the 3M but you have to ask for it (it's behind the counter) and it was 25.00 for one tube (caulking size). Furthermore, right or wrong I only installed partial pans. I did weld them in but I did not weld them in all the way around the new section. So I sealed the seam on top and the bottom. just my two cents worth. Good Luck.

I picked up a couple of tubes from the auto paint supplier and seam sealed BOTH top and bottom.
