Zach, has done some amazing work on his car, but i'm thinking that I may not be able to pull this one off.... I have to re-roof, do both quarters, the drivers floor pan, drivers firewall plus smooth the rest, and I'm not real sure that the body is not twisted. It had some signs from when I removed the winshield. The subframe is good and straight, so I'm not thinking front colision, just structural twisting.
I'm working on a deal to get a '74 f-100 that I can graft the subframe into....

Made the plates for the lower control arms today. I'm going to mount them about 1/2" below the humps on either side.   |

Ryan...it doesn't look too bad from here  I think it's definately worth saving, nobody really does up that body style Camaro. |

It looks real good with the bondo and paint still on the car ;D Got a good bit of the parts that are left on the car unbolted (except the doors). Went and picked up a trunklid that does not have holes in it (spoiler holes) today. Also got another filler panel for under the rear window. I'm going to hopefully start stripping paint tomarrow and have a better look at what the sheetmetal looks like on the passenger side.  The car has alot of those little holes drilled in it to hold the bondo in place  |

wow, that's crazy. The sheetmetal underneath doesn't even look that bad in the pic, is it pretty straight in person?

It's got some early 80's looking bodywork underneath. There were holes drilled to pull out dents. The dents were pulled to far making high spots. So I'm assuming there quick fix was the bondo..... and some more bondo... and then just alittle more bondo to be on the safe side....LOL
This panel does not look too bad right now just got a few hours of hammer and dolly work. Also I will need to replace the front lower area of the QP. I'm not sure how the rear lower section is yet but I do know the drop-off for the trunk needs work.
