You can the metal but not the body.

Never sand blast fiberglass because it'll end up real "fuzzy".

It can be media blasted by a professional who's familiar with fiberglass. The guy that did mine used walnut shell media. Turned out nice. No "sand" blasting though.

Wes, are the two larger inner tail light holes for back-up lights? And why are they so large? Lou.

Years ago it was fairly common when corvette owners modified their car to add tail light and the fender flares along with the large flat back window like the Baldwin Motion Corvettes

Big window to accommodate roll cage

Although I realize I may be just a little bit biased on that opinion!

Wes, What I am asking is why are the two inner tail light holes so much larger than the outer four ones. I have never seen a modified Vette with two different size tail lights.
I am from "years ago". I bought my my 68 coupe in July, 1972, so I am technically an old fart! Lou.
