Yikes! At least it was a fairly small area!



I forgot to ask, what is that mount attached to the LCA bracket for?

That is the parking brake caliper mount bracket.

Not to bad guys, mine seems to be to a little nicer except for my LT fender!! Which had WAY more filler then that qtr!! :lostmarbles:

I had another 70 Camaro project getting media blasted and came back just before this firebird was going in and he saw how nice the body came out. It took him a few days to make the decision to go from and undercarriage to a full body blast. It took an extra week but it was well worth it.
It makes it much nicer surface to fabricate on. I was having issues during the DSE quad link install with rust contamination. I knew it would e even worst during the DSE tub reinstallation. Even if you prep and clean you may pull contaminants that is in or on the other side of the metal.

Yeah, what Vince said. I am using the spot caliper mounts from The GMR.

f you don't mind some noobie input, I have a suggestion for paint:

I've always loved the factory blue with white strip on these year car.

I would definitely go with the ram air hood. This was my favorite as well. Keep the back seat!

Al that said, kudos to you for starting the charity. I'm retired vol firefighter, former USAF, and do appreciate those who stand.

Oh, NOT my car or picture. Pulled from the net to demonstrate the color and hood combo.

I don't think there will ever be a public render done. The build is going to be very out of the box and the main theme will be open.




Think of this picture as major inspiration.

2nd gen back seats are almost non existant stock so compromising suspension and components design seems futile. There will be a use for it. Just not for and 5 ft tall 2 legged creatures.
