Default Body prep

Hey there guys, I have removed the body hopefully for the last time and will be starting work on the underside in about 4 weeks time (going away)

My first question is -
Looking at the pics I have included you can see where the floor meets the body work and where the firewall meets the turret there is a gap, although this can not be seen without getting into some unusual places when the body and chassis are together, I still know they are there and so I would like to get rid of them.
What is everyones recomendations on this point? Is it just a case of filling the gaps with fibreglass and sanding back? or should I be doing something different?
here are some pics. There are more in my gallery.

My second question is - The drivers side sill has a distictive bow in it, what is the best way to remove this bow?

Please throw any good advise up that you may have.
P.s I may not reply over the next 3 weeks as I will be away, but please comment so when I return I will have some idea.
