First C1 corvette builds
Been doing Restoration and metal fabrication for about 18 years now. I have never done a corvette and we figured we would jump right into them and a 1960 and a 1962 at the same time! I'm sure most of you are into the restorations but I will be restomoding both of them with Roadster Shop chassis and lS3 engines. I'm really looking for tips on the dried out fiberglass and how to rehydrate it. Thank you for allowing me to join this site!

Welcome to the Forum!
I'm not sure about the best way to work with the fiberglass and would encourage you to post this question in the C1 & C2 section of the Forum. Hopefully one of the members there will be able to give guidance into your fiberglass work.
Please post pictures of your completed work.
