Re: seams (skinsfan)
This is common on Sharks. The factory bonding material shrinks with age. It isn't yet noticeable on my '80. On my '68, I ground the seams and about an inch of the adjoining panels to bare fiberglass and laid up one course of fiberglass matte. One course was all I needed to raise the area. I sanded to contour, filled a pin hole here and there, and primed the areas. Never a problem since.
