Get in Touch with 821 Collision

Play

A lot of you were asking whether the side panels on this C8 actually needed to come off — and the answer is yes. Here's why.

The adhesives used on these panels aren't all the same. You've got urethane — the same stuff used to bond a windshield — mixed with plastic adhesive, and it changes as you move down the panel. There's no way to properly clean, prep, and re-adhere those surfaces without fully removing the panels.

Could someone sneak under there and skip the step? Maybe. But you cannot get this repair done correctly without taking them off, cleaning them, and doing the job the right way.

General Motors procedure calls for it. We follow the procedure. Every time. 🔧

The part everyone's been asking about. 👀

This is the rear frame rail on the C8 — a 6000-series aluminum extrusion, and those holes you see drilled into it? They're not random. They're engineered weak points, designed to collapse in exactly the right spot to absorb impact and protect the occupants — keeping the damage from traveling further into the structure.

This is next-level engineering. And to even purchase this part, you have to be GM-certified specifically for the C8. Never mind installing it.

More breakdowns on construction materials and build details coming soon. 🔧

She's finally inside… and she's naked. 👀

Get your mind out of the gutter — we're talking about this stunning C8 Corvette, and she's been worth the wait. Parts are in, she's fully stripped down, and today we start putting her back together. 🔧

This build has been a journey, and we're just getting to the good part. Stay tuned — there's a lot more coming on this project. 🚗💨
