        Re: Front end clip

        I replaced the front end on my '57 with Corvette Image fiberglass products and found it took a LOT of sanding to make things right...
        Thicknesses of the fiberglass made me wonder if their molds were
        accurate. But after two years of sanding things came together.

              Follow Wayne's suggestion. Very few people have done more Vette fiberglass work than him

                I just took a quick look at their catalog. All I saw was hand laid units. If thats what you want, but if you want stick built like the factory did, you will have to use either the individual parts or a built unit. The fit is usually so bad over the dash panel with reproduction parts, I am not sure I would chance the assembled type. I would rather build it myself.

                Just ask them who makes it. They dont.

                  Hi,
                  Would you be interested in a good used 56 front clip. I replaced it with a corvette images new front clip and wish I had the original back on.
                  Thanks Mike Anderson (317)729-2418

                    Re: Front end clip

                    So what about the paint bubbling issue with the Corvette Image fiberglass? Has it been corrected now?

                    I've seen a Summersheim front clip put on a midyear and it was very nice and completely assembled except for the inner skirts at the top. My friend bought it from Raymond Leicht: WWW.vetteseller.com who is an NCRS member. He stocks a good bit of their stuff and is a first class guy to deal with.
