Seems like good channels like this don't get as many likes as other channels. This channel is the professional approach to doing quality repairs. And I have learned a lot.

I’m currently restoring a ‘73 and can’t thank you enough for your videos, especially the front clip removal which I copied you and it went great 🍺

@tommywebster3818 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for showing all of these steps! I have a 61 that has a few areas that need repaired. Your videos show that it can be done!

@Nino13084 Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom with the rest of us. I count myself fortunate to have taken your lessons and applied them to my projects with great success. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for demonstrating. This is the kind of RU-vid video that I and the DIYourselfer should watch to really be able to perform properly reassuring the best opportunity for success when making repairs or bonding panels. Keep up the good work!!

Steve is a good teacher.

@albertvelasquez7089 Год назад

Thanks for this information,I have a 66 c2 hard top,doing a complete floor and fire wall repair with front end.You showed the correct way to repair a job like this.Love your idea making custom bonding strips.As soon as I back to on this project of mine I'm going to buy a shi÷= load of your bonding epoxy.I understand why you repair method a certain way,from years of trial ending with perfection as if done by G.M putting it back together better.What I see is one is finished with the complete body there never a fear of the body cracking or falling apart down the road.Again Thanks for information, Some day would enjoy Meeting you.Maybe you should have classes like the metal body guys do.

@michaelheiges7516 2 года назад

Nice work! You do the job right, great to see how you make fiberglass body repairs with the bonding strips.

@primozkrajcar4144 2 года назад

Thank you, thank you, thank you Steve! I'm doing restoration on my 71 and I have to repair the battery box and your tips are awesome and so helpfull. Im not afraid any more to do my own repairs.

@rea8755 Год назад

Outstanding video! The knowledge you have and freely share is incredible. Thank you. And thank you for the training program you have. Am I able to just call about repairs I need?

I have some debonding issues on a 81 vette, and i think your product is what i need. How much is it, and how can I get it. This vette was shaken very baddly. Driven up and down a 5 mile dirt road at 50 and 60 mph, both ways. It's got a few debonding issues at the body and inner fender wheels, and cracks at front and back fenders. Any tips you can give, I'll be forever grateful.

Excellent tutorial on corvette glass repair

@steves8014 Год назад

Putting new L88 flares on the front of a historic race car today and not familiar with the new products. Particularly the street smart part of how to avoid problems later. I'll probably never use the old smelly PIA resin again. Thanks.

@georgeshotrodbarn2113 2 года назад

I have a 1966 vette and back in the eighty's i restored it and had to do a lot of panel replacement but i could not get all factory type glass some was smc but all the bonding strips were regular glass and no one could tell me what type bonding adhesive to us so i used smc bonding adhesive but instead of using it as a seam filled i cut up pieces of glass and fiberglass resin to fill the seams rolling it out with a small roller. it all still holding together fine but all the glass in the seams has shrunk and where i did use screws it it has shrunk so it time to redo the car again.

@scottzito4797 3 месяца назад

How are the bonding strips made?

@TheTrinityguy 5 месяцев назад

A bonding strip in a place the factory did not use it screams damaged and then repaired. It can also be top glassed then back glassed leaving NO SIGNS of repair. Retaining the cars value as it will never crack out and the repair will never be seen. P.S. We went through the same issue putting GM factory Quarters on 1973 cars. My father called GM and they admitted they had changed the body material to get parts out of the molds easier. Those rear quarter panels we learned quickly were unrepairable using standard fiberglass. I am not implying your repair isn't permanent or quality but it is discoverable possibly devaluing the car.

How’s the best way to repair a C2s stress crack’s around the nose clip that supports the rotating headlight bezels. Also how’s the best way to tackle cracks on the A-pillars for the same car?

@michaelgreenhalgh7944 Год назад

What type of epoxy resin or polyester resin / matt is best for a midyear c3 smc?

@michaelhallas6450 Год назад

is that epoxy better to use on cracks the chopped fiber glass ?

@markd4838 Год назад

Steve, do you use the epoxy for just bonding or do you also use it to make corrections like you would body filler... thx.. M

@Damien_In_Hawaii 11 месяцев назад

Yea I had same question. Looks like he did use it for the long fender pieces where the cracks were and probably grinds it down after

@Damien_In_Hawaii 11 месяцев назад

Yes he fills with epoxy

Where are you from arlin

@ricksteelcustoms3196 8 месяцев назад

Could you use a heat gun to speed up the curing of the epoxy?

@frankcarden4709 5 месяцев назад

Within reason, too much heat and it'll bubble and kind of burn or scorch,also a bit of warpage might happen if it gets to hot but not hot enough to scorch, sometimes your just better to wait for it.

@jnkremo 2 года назад

Great video !!!! Do you ever gel coat any of your c1 corvettes?

@MrCbell57 Год назад

Very good and very expensive. So it cost about 80 bucks in material to do these 6 places. And Ann hour of time. That’s $280 dollars for this repair. OUCH!

@wynnyoder5605 Год назад

He makes one big very common mistake. Never blow dust off. Always use vacuum. You don't have control of where the debris goes.

A little late to comment ...excellent tips Steve ...but ..concerned for your health in this repair you are grinding away without a mask . Do not mean to tell you what to do , knowing that you are aware of it ...that stuff is awful for the lungs.
