did you paint that red corvette yourself? The body on mine is actually in nice condition but the main problem is my clear coat is scaling really bad. The bumpers will be replaced so thats not a big deal, but I also have small holes right behind the rear window from that hideaous big aluminum spoiler.
So it will definately need some glass patching thereor maybe bond a small piece of glass onderneath with vette panel adhesive then fill the holes.
sanding wise whats a good starting point to get the clear all down?

Good luck with your project. It's going to get expensive.

It always amazes (or disgusts) me how people take care of a car, any car. I know there may be circumstances as to why a car ends up this way but my gosh. Thanks to all you guys out there with the ability and want to, to rescue these mistreated cars. Want to and money I have, just not the time.

Looks like my car when I started. I named it Stinky. Now it is on the road every day. Just did an 800 mile 4 day trip. Still takes a little work to keep it going. I did the interior in mine, seats and carpet.
Keep us posted. Do your own work and it will pay off.

I admire people willing to take on a project like that. The best part about it is you can make or mod it anyway you like.
If you do the body and paint yourself, you will have a bad a$$ daily driver for cheap!
Rock on.
