got some more work done,so i need to update a litttle got the front clip down to the radiator core wich is as far as im gonna go,has new new core bushings and really no need to remove it.also had a pretty good rust hole in my cowl under the weather stripping what a bad surprise that was.so welded a new patch in and started filling it with evercoat z.grip,its coming along little by little.

ok worked on the camaro a little more today,smoothed the firewall in a few places that really needed it,and layed the final coats of primer and wet sanded it with 600 then 800 grit,its now ready for the cobalt blue metallic just needs to warm up a little so maybe tomarrow.

Kevin--- moving right along there I see. Good pace!

Before shooting the blue, are you going to remove those cover plates installed over the original evaporator cut out and blower motor hole? After paint, be sure to seal those well with either strip caulk or seam sealer to prevent a possible water leak. OR-- you can even weld them in permanently. Just lookin' out for ya...
