I've done lots of fiberglass work, but never on a corvette. For years Ive been working on body kits and cars most of the people here probably hate (), and I have always used the bondo brand resin and mat that you can grab at any autozone/advance. Ive been hearing that this kind of resin doesnt work for the vettes, so I am ready to start some body work and need to know for sure what to use.

I see this on zip:

Im working on a 1972, would that work or is there something even better I need to look into? Also, I always used bondo brand filler and glazing putty. Would those still be ok to use on top of everything, or should I look into something else for that as well?

Oh yah, i remembered one more question! Are the bonding strips just strips of fiberglass that are molded to fit the shape they are backing?

Sorry about the newb questions, but I care about doing things right.

Your brand of resin will work fine on a `72. There are some early type SMC panels on the `72, but in this case the resin is acceptable, maybe not optimal. The later SMCs are not compatible with old polyester resins and shouldn't be used on them.

Dynatron brand polyester resin works well on C3's.

Yes, the bonding strips are just fiberglass strips.
