See Eckler's Fiberglass repair book. They strongly recommend it.

I plan to smooth over the seams where the bumper meets the body (fiberglass bumper).
I do not plan to use fiberglass ... just fill with the bonding adhesive.

Ughh - you mean grinding out all the seam areas and re-glassing with
overlap ? That's a LOT of work.

:seeya

I used body filler on all the body seams of my 69...takes time to work them so that there are no waves, but its definitely well worth it. I don't know about glassing them in..seems like more work that what its worth.
