Default stress cracks.... ideas

well, i'm almost done rebuilding my rear end so i can drive once again for a minute. since my 77 is a project car i molded in the fiberglass front and rear bumpers into the rest of the body. question is, should i take it to an empty parking lot and do some tight turns,donuts, etc to flex the body some before i have it painted to see if anything happens to my molding job? also, is it possible to replace a body mount (drivers side wheel well) without lifting the body.... i just need to replace one if possible?

thanks

I'd think you'd want to rack the body pretty hard to see if any start... But I subscribe to the train of thought... that ya cant hide something with paint. Its just TO thin to cover up cracks, chips and dings.
