Small cracks in the body. Would epoxy primer cover small cracks,or would I have to grind out and fill with filler, or re-glass?

Small cracks in the body could be a sign that you have frame damage. Also, check the condition of your body mounts. If they are bad then the body can crack.

No use fixing a crack without fixing the actual problem.

The cracks definately need to be addressed. Cracks only get larger.

There's only one way to repair and that's grind and glass. Unless you're ready to do an overall repaint I suggest posting up some pics so we can see if the damage will wait a bit, or if it needs immediate attention.

Hi DS70,
Can you tell for sure whether the cracks you're seeing are in the paint, or in the fiberglass?
Sometimes in areas of the body where there has been previous body work, or the paint is too thick, cracks can begin to appear.
I agree that some pictures will help.
Regards,
Alan

I agree with markids77. best to wait till you repaint. because this is a grind and glass situation. Measure a 2x4 and every time you jack it up or lift support nose from floor to radiator support.
