I am curious what parts on our cars are fiberglass, steel, plastic.

I am guessing, but I think the bumpers, berger panel area, and front fenders are plastic. My hood is steel, the roof and a arms are fiberglass... What about the doors and rear fenders? The reason why I ask is because I will be repainting my car.

 

everything is plastic/fiberglass besides the hood and the rear 1/4's. the more plastic/fiberglass the better imo. no rust or dents

 

what parts are fiberglass and what are plastic? I am wanting to use bulldog and it will eat the fiberglass gel coat. I want to make sure I am only using it on the plastic parts.

 

I thought the doors were steel like the hood.....

 

Doors are not metal. Hood and rear 1/4 panels are.

 

I don't think the SS hood is metal.. or is it?

(talking about LS1 here, i guess)

 

Nope... SS hoods are not metal. Plastic type sheet molded compound (SMC).

 

Metal: Hood, Rear Quarter Panels

Fiberglass: Roof, Doors, spoiler, hatch

Plastic: Front bumper, Front quarter panels, Rear bumper, rear burger panel

Is this information correct?

 

Fiberglass A-arms? I sure as hell hope they're not fiberglass...

 

There are no "front quarter panels". They are called Fenders.

Quarter panels in the back and made of steel...
Fenders in the front.

The fenders are made of the same thng as the front and rear bumper covers.
It's a flexable plastic material.

The doors, hatch, tail panel, ramair hood(if equipped), spoiler and roof are all SMC or Fiberglass.

Non-ramair stock hoods are steel.

 

If all else fails just go get a magnet.
