Re: A/SA camaro resto
Fought the urge to just add to the existing 8 pt roll cage, buts it's been there for close to 30 years. So it had to get cut out. Brand new S&W 10 pt full cage will be going in hopefully in a week or 2 then it's pretty straight forward with the interior.

Re: A/SA camaro resto
So she is in rough shape cosmetically with regards to the quarter panels but we should be able to smooth them out with some metal work. The 15 year old paint job doesn't want to come off easy but it doesn't have a choice.
Cage is fitted and welded in, will do the side bars once we have the seats fitted. She is a slow project due to my brother and I both having race cars that need fixing or improving as we continue to work towards being fast and consistent. Still hope to the 69 on the track before years end. Engine is pretty much done except for a few odds and ends |

Re: A/SA camaro resto

Re: A/SA camaro resto
My brother is doing his best chip foose impression. We've watched to many DIY car shows. Laid down an epoxy primer so any bondo we use will adhere better. She's coming along better than expected. We have new doors so we didn't mess with the ones that are on it.

Re: A/SA camaro resto
I did my own paint so I feel for you. It worked out OK for me. As for body work, go with Evercoat instead of Bondo. It's very easy to work with.
