How bad is this flywheel?

I would not resurface because if you undercut the cracks and it all looks good the heat that has been produced will keep the cracks coming back .Get an after market steel flywheel that is lighter than stock .It will need to be bolted to an automatic tranny counter weight from the same year as the motor so the balance will be correct .This will rev up faster and save the transmission as well .If a flywheel has hot spots I will not have them undercut ,a new part is in order .Cracks are worse .
