too much bondo?

I am filling the seams in my engine bay. There are a couple of places that I am concerned about the possiblity of flex causing cracks and am looking fo opinions. The seam that is spot welded on each wheel well going parallel with the battery and the fuse boxes has been flushed using only bondo. Also, the area just past that where the waviness of the wheel well bend has also bbeen smoothed in the same manner. I am keeping it as thin as possible, but I would like opinions on wether this has a high potential of cracking or if I will be good to go.

Thanks

I am pretty sure you can use tiger hair in order to achieve the strength needed...it is like bondo just a really strong version of it. Here is a link to it:
