[DeTomaso] Before Paint - Frame & Body Stress cracks

[bill gaino]

I use a 3 point rollbar and I still got cracks at the rear roof where the deck comes off...(just kidding) I mean the outer corners of the roof. And the front of the top windshield post. If you have it took apart, welding up and enforcing those places will at least make the paint look better. I'm sure your car has tubes all over the place to minimize flex. Front Porch Bill 1362
