Every Sunday for the last few months Ive been driving by this Corvette with a
For Sale sign in the window. My sons curiosity got the better of him, and us,
today, so we had to stop for a look. Its an 87 for $7200 OBO.

But this got me to wondering: How hard is it to repair fiberglass panels such
as in the Corvette? Can you just do the outside, or should you really take the
panel off and reinforce the damaged area from the back too? Or just give up
and replace it? Any experience out there?
