I am starting to work on a 58 Corvette that my father has had for a very long time. I have never worked with fiberglass before but I have been watching some videos on how to work with it. I have attached some photos of some of the problem areas that this car has and wanted to get feedback from yall regarding how difficult of a job this will be.
The passenger fender looks to have had a repair done to it that failed since it has come apart. I am not sure if they should have used a bonding strip behind it.
The rear of this 58 has obviously had some work done to it as it is completely smooth with no holes for the exhaust to go through or for the bumpers to attach. I have seen other pics of 58's where they have a lip that goes around the rear end for what I guess is used by the rear bumpers.
Also, what kind of fiberglass and resign do I need to purchase to do these repairs? Anything else I would need like a roller?
I am pretty mechanical but I haven't done glass work before (but willing to learn).
Really appreciate the advice on how to tackle this job
Thanks,
Jason
