Thread: Any fiberglass/'Vette Guys?

Tweet

I am an utter rookie at F'glass and Corvettes, but it looks like I am aquiring a pr of '75's.

You know how a fiberglass body hood or door can take a edge hit and it gets kind of fuzzy at the site? The gel coat repowders and falls away leaving a soft fuzzy area. Anyway that what I am going to be dealing with. At the back body tail panel edge (see pic) on a '75 'Vette.
I know squat about F'glass other there is resin, hardener and glass mat involved and that you can't screw around once the three are mixed. (been since Junior high that I have messed w anything F'glass)
Now, can I just blow the opened crack out w clean air, rinse w a good solvent, mix up a batch of resin and soak the area, then let it harden? file ,Sand, fill etc.. Or am I going to have to get more involved like cutting those areas out and starting to rebuild the entire area?

Second there are a few 6 to 10" long splits in the qtrs from the same edge can I open them up and let mixed resin dribble in. Then let it close back up again sqeezing out the excess? Proceding again with the file, sand and fill process?

Third, Any good F'glass repair sites out there?
