This was my no hit corvette.
learned this tip after buying this no hit corvette
What a great project. I have only personally seen 2 midyears that were truly no-hot cars. One was the 435 convertible I owned for 7 years and sold recently, the other (ironically) was another 435 convertible. However, that one also had the absolute worst birdcage I have ever seen so being no-hit didn’t mean anything to me.
Its only No hit once ...... bur I had to remove a welded in roll bar and glass in holes. When body's back on the frame .. it will be hard to tell................... .

I wonder when it did happen? I remember a buddy bringing home his new ‘78 that he ordered and the body and paint quality was so bad he brought the car back. It really was bad, and the magazines were talking about it then.
When did this become a thing?
'78 paint and body work quality was certainly not a high point in Corvette production. My purchased new never damaged Pace Car had a front fender seam that was horrendous. You could see the front of the bonding strip seam clearly and what looked like a filled screw hole in the bonding strip. I chose not to "fix it" as I was afraid it would be worse.

I had a Nassau Blue '66 coupe for many years and at one point met up with the original owner. He said the paint job was so poor from the factory (down by the rockers was extremely thin) that the dealership repainted the car for him.
I’m sure most sellers tell prospective buyers that their car is no hit, even if it was. Some don’t know because they were told when they bought it and others lie about it.
I would say say it should be in a museum, but that is what your garage is like.

Not sure, what are we looking at. Where the fender glues onto the inner fender.
This thread made me feel bad that I hadn’t driven the SWC this season yet. Pulled the cover off, reconnected the battery (oops, different thread) and went for a buzz. Ahhhh.
Looking good Don. I was shocked when I finished stripping the paint off my 63 to find that it was no hit with all the original bonding strips
What are the chances that there were two no-hit split window coupe‘s within a block of each other when your car was at my neighbors house up the street! When do you think you are getting yours painted?
