C2 Corvette fender flare removal.... going back to stock.... from start to final paint.

I bought this 1966 Corvette awhile back and a previous owner had put fender flares over the rear wheels. Now That I am rebuilding the car I am removing those flares and returning it to the original shape. This video shows how I did it. You will see fiberglass work, body filler application, block sanding with a guide coat, and painting.

Excellent work! I’m learning a lot! Thanks for the videos. I hope you filmed the paint in depth.

Nice job. I do love Nassau blue. That is my favorite color. I love Mosport green too. Your orange color looks great!

I did a 65 coupe in Atomic Orange. Awesome color

[@DickShaw]

Thanks, Atomic orange is an awesome color and one that I considered before settling on Daytona Sunset.

Glad to see you take those flairs off, they were awful. The color choice is a good one and yes, there’s only about a billion of those out there now 😂 My choice would have probably been white with a red interior but it’s not my car 😁👍🏻Looks really great Dick and that orange will stand out. Hope your having a great Father’s Day 😁👋🏻

[@DickShaw]

Thanks and same to you.

Good ridden flairs

[@lioneltraincollector]

Great video! Appreciate the details as well. My 65 needs the same flairs removed.
Question?
Where did you buy the flair repair sections?
Thank you

[@DickShaw]

Thanks for watching, I hope it is helpful. I bought my replacement panels from Ecklers when I got this car a couple years ago. I was just look at their website and couldn't find them now, but Zip Corvette sells them, www.zip-corvette.com/63-67-c2/body-fiberglass/corvette-body-panels-fiberglass/fender-flare-repair.html . Probably some others as well.

Nice work. About how long of a process is that?

[@DickShaw]

Thanks for watching. Just to install the replacement panel is a few days because you have wait time between the steps. I spent a lot more time because I was stripping all the paint off the whole body and making a lot of repairs elsewhere and then going through the process of primer/block sanding/ paint.

You made that look way too easy.....

[@richardrusso8831]

Dick, are you keeping this car when finished or going to sell it?

[@DickShaw]

Planning to keep this one.

[@richardrusso8831]
