Let the slicing and dicing begin! So the body work has begun, more rust and holes have beendiscovered so more parts need to be ordered like the rear outer wheel wells and it has been determined that the roof is toast.

My 69 looked just like that when I bought it at age 14. Now at 24 i still love it and still win lots of awards at shows here in Oregon. Best of luck to you.

Hey, nice Camaro, it's coming along nicely. I'm wondernig, did they cut the rear quarters out, or are they bolt on? I've never seen them upclose on one, so I dont know.

No they were cut out. It's unibody construction. Weare usingthe 90% panels instead of a full quarter. Saved money as well.

I did the initial tear down of the body. Pulled the dash, wiring, and motor. Then she got hauled away to get blasted. And from here all the body work and paint will be done byBob---mr totally awesome body guywho is a true blessing---In the mean time I am going to build a 355 motor using the original intake, distributor, water pump, & 350 turbo transmission from the 305 I pulled from the car. All the rest of the work to be done like wiring, interior, suspension, etc I am gong to do. I am going to buy the parts to the motor that my neighbor has this weekend and will get some pics up tomorrow. I did go see her today and got some good pics.
