The cracks in the hood are,acid cracks this happens at time of manufacturing after the metal is stamped before painting the parts where diped or sprayed with a very acustic acid to prep for painting. Threw time the acid is traped and shrinks the primer/paint (chemical reaction) wich is why the paint cracks.
Most common in 80s fords. To fix this the car needs to be sanded to bare metal,sand blasted and re-dip/sprayed with a less acustic acid,to newtralize the first app.of acid. We call it (chicken scratch)
Simply sanding it down wont help as the chem.acid is still present it will re-crack in time,your bertone has a slight problem with this but not bad.
