My first 69 Camaro project was what i thought to be in pretty good shape.
Untill i tore it apart.:sad: It went from this;

I know it isn't "shop quality", but, for a few guys in a 2 stall garage that had never done it before.....i think it turned out OK. The quarters on my car were just as bad as the underside! If your car happens to look like mine did, just be patient. Take breaks as needed, and do the best you can.:thumbsup:

Be proud of the job you did... looks good.
So what if it's not "show" quality.

I personally find myself more drawn to the projects or amateur builds than the show car status. These cars are built to be driven, not trailered and rat holed. I get a big S.E.G everytime one goes by on the road:yes:....just my .02 Jeff

Cool, like the colour...I had mine in a similar colour thru the 80s and early 90s
wheel arch trims the dumby flutes, and gutter trim would realy set the car off
