    Great info ! When I was shopping for my C5, I ran across several that had cracks in the quarter panels. Good to know how easy they are to replace, unlike my C4 where every panel was bonded to the rest of the body.

    • @YellowVette04
      @YellowVette04  3 роки тому +1

      Most panels are bolted on. I think only the rocker panels on all models is bonded, but I could be wrong. The Z06/FRC roof is bonded and the quarter panel at the roof line is bonded on that model.

    The color is the same but they get dried road film which sometimes gets waxed over. It was like that on my red one when I first got it and I noticed a spot where I removed some tar with WD-40 and it looked several shades lighter. I ended up going over almost the whole car with it and really made a difference in the brightness of the color. I could hardly believe how much filth came off when I was done. But the person I bought it from kept it professionally detailed so it was quite a surprise to me it had build up like that. Just throwing this out there.

    Great job Dave! It's never going to be a perfect 100% match, but you are pretty darn close man! I'd say about a 99.5% match. You can't argue with the amount of money that you saved by switching the panel. Excellent Brother! Thumbs up from me as usual... Stay safe... Rico

      I was showing my uncle how easy it was. He has a C3 and he's like so don't you need glue and all this other stuff to bond the panels lol. I haven't worked on his C3, but sounds like there a lot more worked involved for the older cars.

    • @GarageKing
      @GarageKing 4 роки тому +2

      @@YellowVette04 Ya, I owned a C3 and all the panels are glued. Even the front fenders are glued. It's one of the things to look at if ever you are buying a C3. It's good to check the front fenders at the highest mark (on the top) to see if the paint it cracking, and if so, the bond is letting go. I have owned a C3, C4, and now C7, but I have driven the C5 and C6. Guess you could say I like Vettes!!!

      @YellowVette04  3 роки тому

      You'll need an FRC or Convertible quarter panel. Mine is for the targa/coupe so it won't fit Z06/FRC/Vert. They're not the same across all the models. I found this from Contemporary Corvette in Bristol, PA, but there's a few Corvette salvage yards that may be able to help.
