Wow! As Dr. Frakenstein said, "It lives"! It looks like a car once more.
I know someone has their car in good hands now. I'm looking forward to the finished product on that one too.
Great work Brian! : thumbsup:

I know I've said this a few dozen other times throughout all of your build threads,... but you are the man! :bow: You build Camaros exactly how I would want mine to come out. Top-notch worksmanship!:yes: I am quite foolish for not ever visiting your shop in person too... I live too close by not to. Can't wait for more! opcorn:

Thank you for taking the time to post!!! Your work is inspiring and your pictures are invaluable especially to a beginner like myself. I've basically used your "resurrection" 68 convertible project as a roadmap for my own build. Can I ask you two questions? 1. What brand quarter panels are you using? 2. I noticed in this build you are using undercoating on some panels. (side cowls etc) I did not see this in the 68 convertible build. What made you decide to use it and will it be standard practice for you? Thanks for everything!!
Thanks man! I am using AMD quarters, I just recently became a dealer.
Yes, the undercoat will be standard practice!
I like the idea of added protection in certain areas, especially in the cowl area were it sees a constant flow of water when it rains.
From the factory that area is just seam sealed. I however like to put a couple spot welds in the seam then grind them down. Later this will be seam sealed before paint.
I don't see how to get a spot welder into that area. Do you just tack them, grind them down and then use a cut off wheel to recess the seam a bit where the weld is?
Just imagine,... if we all (re)built cars as well as Brian and his shop does, we wouldn't be re-restoring any of them unless we wanted to change the body's color. Just by studying the pics, you can pick up LOTS of other quality tips and techniques. A solid reference thread.:yes:
This looks fantastic with perfect gaps. Before I started mine I did not understand the amount of work and skill that goes into a build like this. Mine is a booger in comparison. I have picked up many tips and please keep the pics coming.
Hey Brian! Good talking to you the other day! Yep, I'm back in town and ready to bring my baby to ya for the "final touches"... you were right! Joe's Camaro turned out awesome! I bet he is glad you got him this one instead of his F'ed up '68 Firebird...
For you all, I got back from an overseas gig in early June of this year. My car was 98% ready to roll but I couldn't wait another day!! So I "convinced" Brian to let me have her and that I would bring her back to get the punch list things completed... Well, it's been four months of hard driving and top-down fun!! Alas, I have to bring her in for her final few things...
Merry Christmas to you and your families ! :thumbsup:
