Body gap filler recommendation

TR6oldtimer

The TR6 (and others) body was sealed in a lot of places with a rigid putty or filler of some sort. I am not referring to seam sealers, but large gap fillers. For example the upper and lower rear B post, or under the forward and rear deck seam.

For those of you doing your own body restorations, what products and/or techniques are you using to seal these areas?
 
As an MG owner, I don't know what "large gap" means. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

I'm restoring my '76 TR6 currently. I plan to use regular body filler (i.e Evercoat brand) to fill those gaps.
