[QUOTE="'93blownCOBRA, post: 15310078, member: 41550"] Mine is the same way also. This is the factory welding from when the car was put together. I just had my Cobra stripped and repainted and I chose to leave it this way. The factory paint developed splits in some of the panels maybe a year after I bought it new. Ford warrantied the repaint on these panels but years later the condition kept coming back. When we chemically stripped the car it showed multiple layers of paint from the factory. My guess is that is what was causing the cracking. It looks as if my Cobra was run through the paint booth at the Ford plant 6 or 7, maybe 8 times for what ever reason. The body shop owner (of over 30 years) said he had never seen anything like that before. Ford warranty repainted only one fender and the hood. Here are a couple of pics when the car was stripped in 2014. The second pic is of the fender that Ford DID NOT repaint. Mike just put a DA on it and went to the metal and then took the pic for me. The whole car looked this way on every square inch of the car. [img]http://s32.postimg.org/72w97d4g5/IMG_0543.jpg[/img] [img]http://s32.postimg.org/sfml7dyv9/IMG_0504.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
