I didn't have to do any body work to the front end of my Milano (yet.) 
But if that seam is like the rocker panel seams, you might have nothing 
to worry about.   The seam is not continuously welded, but spot welded 
every inch or so.  Also the edges of those seams tend to splay a bit, 
because the weld doesn't go the whole way to the edge.   That's the 
reason for all the seam sealer.
