![]() Hi everyone, been a while since I have been on here. I have been sick all summer long and didn't get to do anything to my old G1. Well I finally got out in the garage today and started to do some work on it. Well now I am upset, seems someone dropped something heavy on the one side of the rear body and now it has 2 cracks in it. The body was off the cart and setting on the floor where I left if before I got sick. Anyway what is the best way to make the cracks go away. I have been told not to waste my time in trying to do body work on it because it will just crack again. I was told to take my grinder and run the blade sideways down the crack and kinda widen it a little then buy some fiberglass cloth and epoxy it over this hollowed out place I made with my grinder until smooth. After it drys then do regular body putty to it then sand it all out. Is this the way to go?
Thanks everyone and sorry I made this a long story. Calvin |

![]() Hi Dave been a while my friend and I am so glad I am back. Maybe this time I can finally get the old G1 done. Guess I will go to Lowes tomorrow and see if I can find some of this fiberglass cloth and some epoxy glue. Today I welded some bed railing together building my own seats for it. I purchased some boat seats for it last year but their too small for my big butt hahahaa. Hopefully I can get some more of it together tomorrow and try and start on that body work. Thanks Dave hope you have a good day.
