great video, BTW what cleaning solution did you use on the car before getting started?

Just use some guide coat and it will show you where it's low or high..

Just found this. I want to fill in my luggage rack holes. This was perfect

Vendors send chevy panels with hole in it St. louis would fill the hole for radio delete copy the factory example.

Well done 👍🏽

Thanks for sharing the info. Very helpful.

..did you finish it?

Great video bro… the last thing I was planning on doing today is watching a how-to on fiberglass repair but here I am…. very informative and helpful. Think I may try to do my FJ40 top myself…. I don’t want to be THAT guy but I’m a little concerned that you aren’t using a respirator for the sanding. I’ve done the same with sanding and concrete work and feeling it now

I was curious as to why you didn't do the underneath support work first? Would seem to me that having a solid base u9nderneath your top repair would allow more aggressive wetting out of the top section and not having excess resin drooling down on the cardboard and perhaps having excess cleaning and sanding laying on your back in the trunk. Admittedly, I didn't watch your underside repair so I could be full of hops with my assessment.. Also, it was hard to tell from the video, but if your top surface was slightly convex, wouldn't using your sandpaper have better and more even pressure if the block was flexible such as a piece of closed cell 1# density minicell or other flexible foam. I really liked your surface prep on the top and instead of the blue tape, I spend the extra couple of dollars and use the lime green 3M autobody style tape. I also take the time to make the masking tape profile shaped more like a band aid by using a bit more tape and then taking an Exacto knife and cutting the the inner curves before the lamination begins. Thanks for taking the time to educate us. I can see some hack just goobering in Bondo in the hole and paying for it later down the road.

😊 good job I would have fixed it the same way

Body mounts are good, otherwise.

It’s been 5 years, what’s the updates?

Thank you for sharing. Excellent explanations. That helps me a lot!

Great job

Excellent repair

Man, what happened to this guy. I was following his progress and then it just stopped. Too bad. really smart talented guy.

What do you recommend for gaps that are too wide??

Why don't you just fill it up with a bunch of good ole Bondo over cardboard? After all, it's just an old Corvette. It's not like it's valuable or anything. Ok, I'm kidding. I love your car and I love this video. Great job!

I am working on a 1971 Corvette Convertible that I had to retrieve from the body shop after 22 months and 3,000.00 dollars worth of nothing done to it but butcher the panels. I have seen this video like 20 times and always discovers more details that I miss on prior views. I already did a repair on driver side door skin (inside, as I removed it from the door frame using your other instructional video on how to separate panels) and came out pretty good for being the first time I have tried fiberglass repair. Getting ready to work on the outside layer. Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial and being so clear when explaining. If this shop that the body was at sanded the panels a little too much and exposed some fibers, do I have to try sand that smooth then prime over it? Can you tell which primer?

You are suppossed to put a backing piece of glass underneath first and actually fill the hole, the hole is still there...

If the Corvette body was wood, then the stand would have to be fiberglass. Just sayin'.

Fantastic video thank you.

Very helpful, thank you. I have a question for you, any way I can get in contact? [email protected]

Interesting.. wow.. it's been 6 years but still.... would a mechanical sander be too aggressive? way way more sanding than I imagined... I have a panel that needs several holes filled.... I may just find a professional that can get me the quality necessary... I'm so glad I watched this. I know my limitations and this just might step beyond my capabilities... or desire.

Yeah, this ain’t it sir..🤦🏾‍♂️

Hi man! Thank you for your great video! What would be the best way to fix large area of cracked gel coat on lots else

Repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive

Been there, done that. I find it helpful to let it sit in the sun to soften the paint.

Here's a question for you, Sir. Sometimes a Corvette or Hot Rod will come into my shop and will have air bubbles (size of a pea) in the paint. I can sand them down and repair them with filler, but sometimes the bubbles will reappear a month or two down the line. What is causing this and how do i stop it?

What do you use as filler to make a gap smaller ?

Way too much talking

Wtf

Excellent video!!!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKakcoNnd618i5Y Thanks for making the video. Turned out pretty well fro me.

When making an error while talking, just keep going and explain

nice. I arrived from a search on the center instrument panel removal. gonna attempt to install LEDs as the original sockets will not stay on the metal clips anymore. I even tried to epoxy 'em before when my indy shop guy was installing Vintage Air. I also have a '71! Any updates to your project. looks like you were "pinged" a year ago.

nice job my man.

Thanks for info I have a light cluster on the back of a motorhome that’s got a hole in the bottom I am going to take it off and re spray the cluster 👍

Thank You for this . Just been and done this to a panel i had bonded on my Toyota mr2 and i had miss aligned it, so the heat gun worked a treat. Thanks Again from the UK

Thank you . This was forthright and informative. Thank you for disclosing you did the same on the other side. Working on putting a new 4 cycle engine in boat.

Thank you my friend not scared to try it now !

Thanks for the video! Great explanation and instructions. My C5 got very little damage after getting off the track. Ripped out a panel, now I got broken holes where the panels used to attach to the body. Will this methodology allow me to drill new holes after the repair? Need that to attach it back to the body...

Bruh! Less talk more work... Great content. No-one talks about separating panels on KZbin.

Reallly.. you talk 3 minutes about a brush and plastic cup that coast 50 cents ..and just came back with the liquid with no words how to mix it or what kind or or... oh brush

I need to fiberglass a bumper split I got over this last weekend. This is excellent. Thanks so much for the video.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, I would like to honour your effort by sharing my experience. Working with these materials (especially fibreglass) with out a respirator is a good way to develop interstitial lung diseases. Please protect yourself!

Is bondo necessary? If its in a hidden area, can I just use resin and fiber sheets?
