68 Camaro rear spoiler, repair or reproduction?
 

Hi folks,

I have to repair 5 of the 8 mounting bosses on the original rear spoiler from my ‘68. These are split down the center, guessing due to strain from heating and cooling cycles. Should I fix, or look into a repop? Obviously I’d rather keep the original.

Anyone have tips for repairing the mount bosses?

Thanks,
Tony

The mounting bosses should be a pretty easy fix with epoxy. I don't know if I'd epoxy the stud in it or epoxy the boss closed and re-drill. If it's just the mounting bosses that are cracked, I'd fix them for sure.

Look into the West System line of products. They sell the Fiberglass epoxy resin and many different types of epoxy fillers. Micro fibers,Micro balloons etc. Any spoiler can be repaired then a good body man can do the finishing details.

Thanks guys, I will check out the West products.

Do you know what the spoiler is made of? If you know what the material is then you will be able to figure out the best product to use to repair it. If you use the wrong thing first then it might be ruined.
