hmm... Fiberglass or epoxy the inside, bondo the outside. Either or, sand it smooth and go from there. Structurally, keep the crack from becoming bigger.

I've never personally worked with a Don Post (my head is way too big) but what Fox5 said seems to make sense. I though have learned to loath Bondo only because it seems to have lots of little air bubbles which means I've been left with tiny pits after using it. My garrison advisor had falled in love with a product called Poly-Flex Putty. I've never personally used it, and I know it isn't cheap, but he has sworn off bondo since using this stuff for multiple builds.
