My Dart has a few cracks in the body. I think they're stress cracks. My Nova has a few, but my Dart has 5 or so. They are around the front window/cowl area, and there's one on the c pillar. Now my question is, how should I go about fixing these? Can I weld it? and if so, what's the best way to do this? I just don't want them to show up after paint like on my Nova.

They probably aren't stress cracks, but body seams that were leaded from the factory. There is a long thread that was started by Ceej about the roof to quarter panel seam and the best way to fill and finish it.
