Does a 73 have SMC Panels
I am looking at the resin and fiberglass repair stuff on Ecklers website. Everything I look at has the statement below:
These repair materials are not formulated to work on 1973 and later Corvettes with SMC panels
What can I use if I don't use resin? :confused:

Re: Does a 73 have SMC Panels (73Gator)
If their online cat does not show them, call. 1-800-327-4868
They sell products manufactured by Lord Corp. that is for SMC (Sheet Molded Compound Fiberglass). It is listed in the cat they send out.
Lord makes Bonding Adhesive, Resin and Body Filler for SMC repair.
Hope this helps.

Re: Does a 73 have SMC Panels (73Gator)
When I got my 73 I had the same question. I e-mailed Ecklers tech and he said that 73 and up do have SMC panels but standard repair materials worked fine up to 1978. Just to be extra cautious I still used SMC resin made by Fiberglass Evercoat. This can be found at most body and paint supply stores and is an excellent product. Good Luck, Craig :seeya
