This is Christine's chin spoiler, she looks bitchin' when it is installed. Obviously the spoiler has seen some battle and needs some help. I have never done fiberglass work before - EVER - except to insulate homes, and I know the stuff gets itchy. I sanded the damaged areas a little just to clean them and I got loaded with the stuff, what misery! So I am sure to get gloves and some old clothes and duct tape myself like a mummy before I start on this project again!
Anyway, blueshark, I ask for your guidance. Here are some pics of the spoiler and some of the products I picked up to repair it with. Let me know if I have the right products or if I should use something else. I will post pictures of the project as it progresses.

OK! For some reason some of the photo's failed to upload. Here we go, I'll try again!

Good Luck with the project DV8. I have a feeling that you will do an awsome job and your vette will come out looking fierce... with minimum itching.Kevin

 

Hey DV8,
Looks like the right stuff to me. See if you can get a tyvex monkey suit from a body shop or boat repair shop and that'll keep the dust off of ya. maybe Lowe's or home Depot will have them, they're only about 8 bucks and are well worth it. You should have minimal griding to do. if you can't find one let me know your add. and I'll mail ya one.

Guidence??...Cool! I love helpin'...here's my suggestion for a plan of attack if you're interested.....

First so I don't bore anyone with repeat blathering, LOL!...did you read the posts in the hood clearance thread from our Italian Brother?Some general prep and procedure info there.

Here's some job specific advice since the fracture has a distinct"exit wound":

Set the out side surface of the fracture, flush, as best you can then grind the back first and put 2 layers of that body panel in a bag stuff,(chopped strand mat) on it with a small paint roller and 2" natural bristle paint brush to get all the air and excess resin out.
Once it cures do the same on the front and then heat them both up with a heat gun or good blow dryer so they wont shrink on ya later. You can cleanup the back with the grinder if you're gentile and do the front with a sanding block to make it nice. use filler only if you have to, and if ya do, use the blow dryer trick on it as well. Then prime the dookie out of it and you're good to go with your sealer and top coat. Should be a fun little project and self gratifying when you get it done. Have fun. Cheers, george
