Wondering if there is a way to help cracking graphics. I'm buying an original paint 74 ranger. Graphics have good color but are cracking. Any way to fill them in? Wishfull thinking... Trying to keep it all original hate too put new graphics on but I might have too

Man, those are real nice original graphics.
I would leave them and enjoy it as is myself.
If anyone wants to degrade your rig for having
cracked Ranger stripes 1) They don't have a clue
about early Broncos 2) They can go pound sand! ;D

I don't know how hard it is to remove original stripes, but if you decide to, Broncitis sells a reproduction Ranger stripe kit. I have a set ready to go on when my rebuild gets to that point.

Looks nice and like the others said, I'd leave it alone.
