Progress on Repaint/Question on Crack

[sketchers356]

So things are proceeding well in my do it yourself painting adventure. Right now applied the final (hopefully) coat of bondo to make the body perfectly smooth. Unfortunately, the car had alot more bondo under the paint than I expected. Decided to pound out the big ones but leave the small stuff undisturbed. Hopefully go out maybe late tonight and give it some more of that lovely sandtime. Primer hopefully will go on real soon.

Her "pretty" side

Her uglier side, luckily the glare masks the large amounts of bondo on the rear fender.

The side we all love:


Ok here is the real problem. There is a crack that occurs above the pasenger side jack point. I dont know what I should do with it? Is it dangerous structurally? How should I fix it? Or should i just ignore it for now? Here are two pics.



Thanks for the advice guys.

I have the same crack as you. See my thread from a couple years ago:

Removed rocker panels, but then I found trouble

Nice job sketcher.
Just be aware though that you should not be putting filler over bare steel like they used to do. Current thinking is that you lay down a coat of etch & epoxy primer over the bare metal before you start the filling process.

Argh,
Thanks for the info. Guess I can do that on the next car
