What sort of products would you suggest to do the body work with. I will still have some other fiber glass work to do to fill in some larger gaps and also fix some minor cracks. Thanks, Drew

How long must I wait. After an eventfull night of playing with that cool bonding agent and keeping the garage above 60 deg all night we finally got it bonded. I noted this morning that what was squeezed out was very firm and not very tacky any more. So I am wondering how long before I can...

Would there be any way to keep a garage warm and use haligon lamps to keep the pannels warm, or any other suggestion that don't keep me from sticking it on before next spring? My zip is 81621 which show current weather at 47 deg and 50% humidity. Thanks, Drew

I am looking at bonding my new front fender on tonight. I have purchased http://ecklers.com/product.asp?pf_id=27281&dept_id=127 My only concern is there is no directions on how to mix and apply. I am also concerned with the weather. Currently it is like 40 degrees and very humid (rainy). I...

That sounds about right I new it was not much. Glad you got it fixed. Thanks, Drew

I honestly dont remember how much, but it was not much of a modification. I just held it up and cut back the area where it did not fit. More just a trial and error. Best of luck. Thanks Drew

I ordered a new one because my old one well did not exist, so I cut the new one to fit, it was a very small modification. Thanks, Drew

I am currently replacing my left front fender, and am replacing the brackes on the new pannel. I am wondering where I can find the rivets to attach the reenforcement brackets to the fiber glass I have looked at ecklers and mid america, zips. could it be as simple as going to the local hardware...

I have just finished a small section of fiberglass repair, and was wondering if I need to get it gel-coated, and if so where is a good place to go. as it is only a small area. I was also wondering if there is a special type of body filler to use with fiberglass? what would be the best way to...

I was wondering what the difference between smc and other types of fiberglass construction there are, is there any way for me to tell what type of construction was used for the pannel i took off. or for a 1976 corvette, as I want to make sure it matches. once it is painted will any one be able...

It is easier to replaced the quarter panel or the fender to the center of the head light, as I have it now I would have to do some fiberglass work around the nose, but if I replace it at the headlight half way point and use a full fender then I would have zero fiberglass work. Is there a...

As you can see from the photo I have got the panel removed and noticed that the wheel well has separated from the upper body panel. I am wondering how best to reattach it. if you need more detailed photos as I could only attach one photo? oh well. the link...

What should I use to clean the calipers both internally and externally. Internally I mean the pistons and the chamber they flat in. Brake cleaner? Carb Cleaner WD 40. they are pretty greasy form a leaking caliper. where is the best place to get new rings and boots (local parts place)or do...

Thanks for the information, I would agree that I think this shop is full of it. I am in the process of measuring the frame and the center line with plumb bobs. so I can check the center line. I am also thinking of taking to the corvette shop here in Denver. they were recommended in the...

that is what I thought, and when i drove it before it drove straigh as an arrow, the guy must not know what he is doing, What they told me was that the computer was not working so they did it by hand, guess just goes to show that computers really run out lives. To bad I paid them already. So I...

yeah I took it to a shop and they told me there computer was wigging out and so they did it by hand, I am not sure but 4 inches seams to me to be a lot, I should notice it on the handling and the alignment of from wheels, it all looks and feels normal. Thanks for the dimensions I will put them...

Well after the accident that I had in my baby. I took it to a frame shop and they told me that it was wrecked before, and that the from part of the frame is out 4 inches to the left (if facing), and the center section is square, and the rear section is out to the right a little. So since they...

yes I did use a 11 inch cluth and pressure plate, the bolt pattern for the pressure plate is the same for the 2 piece and the one piece. the bolt pattern is differend where the fly wheel attaches to the crank. thanks Drew

Yes I have done the 2 piece rear main seal to a one piece seal when I changed the motor in my vette. I used a 330 hp gm crate engine which has a 1 piece rear main, the bolt patterns are different on the fly wheel, so I had to get a new fly wheel, I belive mine was a 14 inch, which I used my...

How do I tell if it is and o-ring or a lip seal? Thanks Drew
