Jusy got my 69 blasted PICS
I have a friend that wanted to try his hand at blasting fiberglass.
I had to rebuld the seams and re-glass the all of the inner fenders.
I took it to him a month and a half ago. I wanted him to blast 3 layers of paint and shoot some epoxy sealer so I can finish the mechanicals and body without having to worry about raw fiberglass getting greasy or damaged. Now all I have is 100 hours of minor bodywork and blocking!
What do you guys think?
I put a pic of the t tops after blasting without paint.
I think he did pretty good! I had him use red sealer as will be the finish color.
I know I'm sick. This is Corvette #3. Talking to a contractor about putting a 3 car garage in the back yard.

Was he able to keep the interior clean? What year is the c-3 convertible in the pic? I have a red 69 that was originally daytona yellow. Im getting ready to re paint and will probably go back to yellow even though Im not very fond of it. Is that what yours is?

If you only have 100 hours of minor bodywork and blocking to do, your friend did a FANTASTIC job with the blaster!
I tried using a soda blaster on my Vette and didn’t like the results. I stopped blasting the fiberglass parts after doing both doors. A LOT of priming and block sanding was required to smooth them out.
Enjoy your project and keep the pictures coming!
