Day 2 67 Camaro restoration

[Chuck_Burg]

This week has been a blocking week. The entire car has been blocked 3 times. Getting close. We're putting another coat of primer on today. The hood is still getting worked on a little bit because there were a few bad low spots on it. Then we can jam it, reassemble it, and paint it. It's exciting that we're getting close to seeing some color on it!

Somdone asked about the doors, whether 68 doors or not. You can see the date code for the driver door is 35th week 1966, pass door is 32nd week. Quarters are dated 33rd and 36th week. Wiring covers near the rockers are dated 36th week. The only panels that have been replaced are the header panel, pass fender (whiskey dent too difficult to repair), both fender extensions, and obviously the stinger hood (but I have the factory hood).

Nice! Since becoming a member here I enjoy photographs of factory stamps and factory casting marks much more than I ever have haha.

Tried to mimic the factory antenna hole on the new NOS pass fender. Looks good. OK.... a little more primer for just a little more blocking....

A few things need a little more work on the body line. Getting CLOSE! The hood is also getting worked on. Though it fits nice it's pretty wavy, no surprise with fiberglass. I want it as straight as we can get it.
