In preparation for new brakes I decided to get all the suspension parts
powder coated and to clean up the wheels wells.
Most of the sealant between the plastic wheel well ('73) and the frame
was just globbed in there and a lot of it was popping loose. I took it
all out.

First question - what are the wheel wells made of? I know it's
poly-something but don't remember the "something".
Second question - what would you use to reseal those areas. That's bare
plywood edges we're seeing now and it's still in pretty good shape.
HUGE gaps to fill in the area on the left side of the picture.
I'm leaning towards polyurethane caulking unless someone has a better
idea...
Thanks in advance,
Kelvin
