Don't seam weld it, stitch weld it.
There have been a few threads on this, have a quick search on stitch welding.

when i build my next sprinter i think the best way to do this is to strip the whole car back to a bare shell, chisel all the tar crap off the floorpan of the car then get the whole thin acid dipped so theres no paint,selastic,seam sealer and whatever else interferes with welding.
then start stitch welding whereever panels throughout the car overlap each other i.e engine bay, undercarriage etc...
cheers
