I thought I would share some pictures of a 62 Corvette I just blasted. It is truly naked. It is the first Corvette I’ve done everything inside and out. We usually just strip the outside.This body is in the best condition of any of the Corvettes I’ve blasted. I thought some of you might like to see it down to the bare shell. It’s pretty cool to see how they are actually assembled.

It is. All the panels are all translucent at the right angle. They must all be fairly thin.

I actually had a guy bring in separate parts from a '62 Corvette that he was putting back together. I couldn’t even imagine trying to do that.

Its interesting how the body is a whole. It must have made getting in a fender bender a real hassle back then cause they couldnt just take that peice off and put a new one on. Nice vette though.

I’m not sure, I never took the body off of the cart. The body & cart was only lifted by our forklift.

The frame itself? Those were steel. I’ve blasted a few of those too. I guess they are notorious for rotting out in the back.
