Addendum#1,

IF ANY part of the body comes in contact with A fixed point, I.E.; Roll Bars, Bumper Tubes, Steering Column, and the likes -Dashboard- which shouldn't, but could, WILL cause stress points, cracks in the body.

Realistically there should be an absolute minimum of 1/16th inch, and as much as 1/8th of an inch clearance between all such points.

Now MASNAKA may have a thin curvature at his dash area, but this may be simply because in the spraying of the body it was sprayed to thin. It could also be that the installer used to much pressure to install the dash, or even who ever installed the body "wrongly" lifted the body at one time!.

Masnaka, if you are the builder then I have to presume that you have just gotten stress cracking over the years.

Each CR Cobra OR ANY fiberglass car can crack over time depending on how it was made and assembled.

But for having any body problems as "NORM" on a CR LTD, INC, or LLC, I know of known.
