What I was told was at some point gm switched to smc, for smc you need epoxy or polyester that is made for smc, regular resin wont stick to it.

71 was the first year for SMC, and it was only used for the rear quarter panels. After '71 SMC was used more and more until the whole body was SMC a few years later.
On the early SMC you can use either polyester resin with SMC additives or epoxy resin. On late C3s the SMC formulation changed and only epoxy resin should be used.
