Pulled the body, stripped, blasted, fixed a few things. It will get a new front end. Let me know what you think!

That turned out really nice

There's just something hot about bare glass!

It looks good. What did you use as a blast media? It looks like black beauty. If it is, I'm curious about air pressure settings.

looks great !!!
are you replacing the front end because of the grill area?
you could section that in...
Looks like a late car......

The main body is stripped with sanding material. The blast media is copper slag called Sharp Shot, fine grading. We only use it for the nooks and crannies. Should be set to about 50-60 psi, low, just to get the paint off but not enough to hurt the fiberglass.
We already got the front end from Corvette Image here

Worked over and clean up a bit:

front end doesnt look that bad....
but if you are going to replace the front end - section it under the windshield..
also you will have to add material to the lip at the firewall - those are normally cut short....

PM sent.

Depending on how you remove the front end. I might be interested in buying it from you.
Thanks,
