Default 1964 corvette

I'm currently in the process of stripping the paint off of my 1964 Corvette and would like to avoid putting the stripper on the body seams. Does anyone have a disgram of the body seams I can use? Thanks.

There are LOTS of photos of the '53 body being built from scratch, showing all the surface seam locations, in the first chapter of Noland's Vol. I book.

Edit: Oops - misread the title of your post as '54 instead of '64.

Yup. Noland's Vol.II book has the same level of detail on the body build for '63-'67's.

Probably a waste of effort. The seams should be redone anyway so there is no reason to protect them. Actually if done correctly the seams are protected by the primer just like the body itself.
