Sample Automotive Collision Repair projects :: 1974 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette was chemically stripped. All remaining fillers and primers were sanded off untl we were down to the bare fiberglass panels.

As you can see, there were spots where the fiberglass was cracked or even broken off. The factory seams were all cracked.

Fiberglass was laid over all the factory seams so they should never crack out again. Anywhere else the fiberglass was broken, was also repaired by laying new fiberglass.

After all the fiberglass work was done, a thin spread of filler was applied to a lot of the car. It was then blocked out to remove any flutters in the panels.

The car is gelcoated to hold down any sanding scratches or pinholes that might be left.

The gelcoat was blocked out and then everything was primed. The primer was blocked out and the car was prepped for paint.
