this thread won't end, Ill replace the wife before the cars go anywhere! (shhh don't tell her)

honestly though she is great and does understand the car thing. she even lined up a job for me to paint a car for one of her co workers daughters! but that isn't till the camaro is finished.

Turns out the driver side sub frame area beside where the rear seat is, is really bad, so all new metal will need to go in! no photos tonight as I'm not happy about the work that needs to be done.
someone hid all this mess under a thick yet well applied layer of seam sealer
ill post pics of the ugly tomorrow.

did find some more rust in the trunk lip, ill have to cut it out and build a new section.
Just do what my husband did. Get her out in the garage. We find working on our Camaro together as bonding time. I actually enjoy working side by side with my hubby. I've sandblasted, grinded on the body, and helped to take things apart and put back together. The only thing I don't do is welding. She can't be afraid to get dirty though.
