So I started some sanding and priming on the truck. I started with finding bubbled paint, cracked paint and other rust indicators. When i got to my driver door and really looked at my cracked paint... it turns out its an actual crack!

A PO had covered a big dent with enough bondo to fill it and smooth it all out. I can see and feel the dent on the inside of door and i can see the crack too. Im not sure if it was originally cracked when it got bondoed but it's flexing and the bondo is cracking.

I tried to mark it a bit so you can see. And I got a decent inside picture.

What should I do? I want to make sure I can get the curve of the door when I'm done.

Try to clean out bondo, tack the crack and pop it out?
