I would soak the body in a nice mix of Ethanol and Methylene chloride. Should get you down to bare metal within minutes !

Stop! Just, stop..... Perfect! ?
MrKibbs
For anyone confused the cars body is fiber glass and not metal.
Lizardlips
isnt that meant to be fiber glass?
57rescraft9
Oh you'll get to metal--support bracketts, frame rails, etc.

Fiberglass deathtraps.

It is probably stronger than the metal on most modern cars. The bumpers are the same.

Id rather have crumple zones on the car instead of my body

If only there was a clue in the title..

It is funny because Chevrolet had so much paint on it?
CrypticRetard
Body is made of fiberglass panels, not metal.
Nolurkeranymore
Oh. Ok.Thanks for that info!

What's going on in this picture?
brickforpresident
Corvettes of that year have fiberglass body panels not metal
ergrey
All corvettes of every year have fiberglass bodies.

In fact, Corvettes of every year have fiberglass body panels

Get a belt sander, goes way faster ?
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
just sandblast it and move on with your day
manthraxx
If you take that down to the bare metal, all you have left is a frame and an engine block

And then it'll be time for the REAL fun to begin. Vette-kart anyone?

Hmm. Intriguing. The person making the image didn't know this and posted it for guidance on this topic. Thank you.

You should look into how much of a piece of shit this thing is

this is so saddening, I've fantasized about a stingray since I was a kid

Could you point a guy in the right direction?

Most everything is a bust. If you can get a Corvette for $5k then you know it's an issue

Do I have to ruin the fun for everyone who don't know it's not metal body panels?

No, now we know it's a joke. I didn't before

I mean I didn’t, but the title?

It's not fun for us who don't get it. That how inside jokes work!

Only a few knew the truth that he zr series has fiberglass

Thank you for ruining it for me, I didn't understand what was going on.

That's what the title is for, for literate humans at least.

Keep going. You’ll know when you get there

Fiberglass body....no metal to get to

I know... but the Bondo... it's done all wrong.

use 30-40 grits, it will go way faster

Use 1/100 grit and it'll be gone in no time

(that's hitting it with a 1.9m-diameter rock)

How many hogs is that?

No use 5000 grit it will take years lol

I've heard of grits just never actually seen grits
Gutpilegutezeit
It's available at any Waffle House. Just walk in and tell them you need grits for your car, they'll hook ya up.
Asadsadsadclown
Yoots.
snowgloom
How coarse sandpaper is oh, different grades for different projects
shoulkion
What grit is a fist sized rock because you gotta be close
justripit
16grit should work. Used it on bowling ally’s and basketball courts
Muttons1337
I remember when we still had wood lanes. Ran out of wood to do the routine cuts. Had to make the switch to synthetic lanes after that...
TheRicM
Picture for reference, in case anyone was wondering what that looked like
screenaholic
Man it's been a while since I've had some grits. Now I want grits.
Proffesional1Downer
That’s way more than 30-40

whatseventhepointt
Still baffles the mind that someone decided to make what is effectively sand out of corn and then somehow convince people its an edible food
commonmind872
Grits? Grits are the shit buddy! Shrimp and grits with XO sauce and hot sauce is very hard to beat
whatseventhepointt
It’s like eating buttery sand man. Can’t do em. Ever since I was little
PorkFriedSquirrel
At least it's the worst Corvette

The '83 was the best
SteelTech
C3s make awesome restomods
Bovisstercus
The C3 is the prettiest of all the Vettes.
hotdoginathermos
So like, a Corvette?
R100GSPD
They look cool, but they are terrible.
imgursample
Shutcho mouth! 84 is the worst.
BaddyOneShoe
You can do cool things with one. My dad and I are building a '78 with a 68 L88 theme. In 68 the same chassis had the L88 427 with 600+hp.
PorkFriedSquirrel
L88 was closer to ~550, with Chevy claiming 435.
BaddyOneShoe
The one at pure stock drags that won the event a few years back dynoed at 603. Granted, that one was perfect, but still. What a beast!
stulfer
He should sand that down to trash compactor
BrickSniper33
God, why can’t they just go back to making the 50’s models?
SanchoPliskin
Ford tried that with the Thunderbird. It was pretty terrible.
BrickSniper33
Fuck, when was this? The ‘57 T-bird is my favorite car.
onecowboytoo
TheLeftNugget
Early 2000's, late 90s I think? It wasn't awful, it just wasn't nearly as sexy as the C1.
jbcars4life
Trashing the C3 for being the unfortunate generation to live through the oil crisis is an unnecessary insult.
supraman2turbo
454s do drop right into C3s or so Ive been told....they suddenly get less slow
PorkFriedSquirrel
That's fair, but when your V8 makes like 200HP there's a lot to be said. =/
jbcars4life
That goes right back to the restrictions placed on it in a matter of months. It took until the C4 for GM to get decent power w/ regulations
jbcars4life
It's not as tho GM developed a whole new engine to meet emissions standards. They had to make the existing design compliant.
jbcars4life
For the Corvette the result of the oil crisis was the development of the LT1. It took years to develop that engine. If they had a magic wand
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Try 165HP in the '75.
filben7
The C4 has entered the chat.
CoyoteWill
C3's are only good for munchkins under 5'8" who like the look of a melted batmobile
Peachos
C4 at least had the ZR1 leading the way for the c6/7 versions. The t-top era had the most horrific design, performance & economy.
hammersquirrel
While the 98 pace car was pretty horrific, as well as the 84 - I think the worst ones were gen 1. Gaudy & underpowered. If the late 60s >
hammersquirrel
Cars weren’t made, they would never have attained the mystique that they have. C5 and newer are without a doubt the best
filben7
In terms of performance, not looks.
hammersquirrel
I mean both
PorkFriedSquirrel
I'd take one over these C3 abominations any day of the week.
filben7
The C3 is my favorite body style. With some sidepipes... damn fine looking. Besides, everything sucked in the 70s.
MrSomeonesHero
But the C3 started in 1969.... also they sucked the power out of everything in 75. 72 and under are the best vettes.
Yourmomshouz
Started in 68. 68-72 had the chrome front and rear bumpers.
TheRealGeorgeMcfly
Your mom sure did
BWorking
If she did then how did he get here? ???
Peachos
Early c3 were beautiful & were monsters for circuit racing, but the 2and half of c3 was the Worst versions made aside from specific models.
Peachos
Frankly I find late c1-c2 were my favorite, dominating with the split rear window & side pipes. Hard to get a more iconic model
onthe6ball
71 and earlier C3's were beasts. HP dropped from 350 to 180 with federal low compression engines.
