My Camaro

So here is the part that really got me down. The passenger side rocker was really wasted. It was rusted, repaired, bonded, repaired and rusted again. So we cut it out. I was really down about the car when we found out how ugly it was. As you can see it is just hanging there.

Here we are after the new rocker started to go in. I was feeling much better.

Oh I guess I should note that (after I read my first post) that this is not an SS, just a base coupe, I am sure most of you have figured that out, but it is a 67 Camaro just like back in the day. I am almost happier this way, because I can drive it regularly and not feel like I am tearing up something rare. Even though it is not a BB or has some rare options, it is a blast to drive.

OK, so after all the metal work was done and any large dents pulled and body panels aligned an epoxy primer a ton of fine detail body work was in order. This meant lots of sanding all by hand. All in all not too bad of a body for a 41 yr old.

As you can see in this picture at some point in time it had had a good whack. I wanted to keep as much original and the door is sound and not too far gone. Just strange what thing occur over time.

So more body work to straighten this mystery. Again some skim coat and sanding.
