Default Books for body work on 1st Gen Camaro

Does anybody recommend any good books on replacing panels on a 1st generation camaro. I am really looking for a step by step guide to replace rear quarter panels and trunk floor. Some questions are do I need to remove gas tank? How do a remove Lead filler? Do I need to remove rear window? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you should remove the gas tank. Yes, remove the rear window. There is a MuscleCar episode DVD you can get that shows how to remove lead filler - I will have to look for that.

Any lock smith or GM dealership can and re-key your cylinders and hook you up new keys if you take the cylinders into their shop you will save a ton in labor.

I really like the Paintucation series. Two must watch if you are at the metal working stage is "Body pannel replacment" parts 1 and 2 and "Metal prep and rust repair" Rust repair will show you how to be 100% sure the oxidation is done. No suprises 5 year from now
