The factory correct method for hiding the seams on the SII was to lead
fill
the first inch or so of the the seam. The rest is just left open.
It originally was leaded, which is what I recommend that you
do as well. Bondo or any sealant will allow the paint to crack due to
flex and expansion.
The same was done both front and rear.
