turrets will stay as they are , to be honest theres areas in the car that lack as much sealer as ford put on anyway ,
you have to rember ford sealed them to try and make them last 25+ years ,
im willing to sacrifice a bit here n there for the sake of a clean look , the car will be stored in a carcoon ,
and its a summer toy , the car wont be used in the rain anyway lol have a hard enough time trying to keep it on road in the dry
update to follow ,

Apart from when you wash it and the damp air etc. pop some sealer or something in there as the rest is done to such a high standard would be a shame for that bit to fuck up

i dunno , lol its got a motorsport look to them imo ,

i also think fully weld and smooth back flush it will be far neater looking and match the rest of the bay but i can also see where your coming from with the motorsport look. cant have both looks in the bay though!
