Default Re: I got some info on that SRD built 70 Camaro

I decided to replace everything north of the bumper. I separated the panel from the quarters and trunk floor at all the factory welds,and then cut off the lower half of the replacement panel. I held it all in place with self tapping screws. I will cut thru the old and new panels together right behind where the bumper,just above the factory welds so that the original welds stay,then butt weld the top and bottom panels together and grind the weld flat. When done the entire job will be undetectable. I wont do the final fitting and welding until after I fix the ends of the quarters using corners that I cut off a donor car. I will probably leave the panel unattached until I do some reworking of the tin work in the trunk as well.

I am debating on if I want to fill over the gas tank filler hole and plate light and trunk lock holes.

Just having it looking more like a 70 is really motivating me. The fact that it look like a blacked out big block tail panel is cool too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
