Nice. I've used t-bolts w/epoxy on them in the past. I wondered if something was commercially available. Now I know....

Hey thanks, those are just what I need for the under dash cable hold-downs ... great idea.

Thanks for looking ...

You're making some great progress despite the snow and cold. I'm really enjoying this thread!!

:popcorn2:

Update 3/26
 

Thanks, buddy, I'm trying my best!



Been some time since I updated this thread ... been doing this and that when the temperature cooperates, which has been difficult this winter. My hand surgery has been pushed out til ... who knows when, so I just keep on keeping on and do what I can with what I can.

The pandemic has Aurora going crazy, not to worry though, got food and TP so get to work on the car when I can get the temps up ... supposed to get more snow Friday, grrr ...

So where were we, oh yeah, I ordered a Wolf Fab 4.5" shrinking disc to get the fender patch back to original contours. It seems no matter how careful you welding are there is still going to be some distortion and this shrinking disc is the cat's pajamas.

Had a crown in the fender patch as seen below

with about ten passes with the disc the fender is mo better ....

It does take some time to shrink the metal but wow what a difference

Since I was doing some body filler I figured I might as well do some other low spots that needed attention, man this body work is hard work and messy but anyway this is what I get done so far ...

Oh yeah, I pushed the car to access the passenger side and dented the quarter panel on the card table, so I had to fix that with a hammer and dolly and some filler ... the card table is NOT in the garage any more!

I did get a headlamp bucket recondition kit but the plastic inserts for the horizontal and vertical adjustment broke .... so I'll work on the front end and get the electrical all sorted out this week I hope.


Thanks for looking and keep being socially responsible ....

Looks like a lot of neg. camber in the right front wheel dolly!:action-smiley-027:

Just an optical dillusion :hello:

How did you like the 4.5" disk? I have their 8" disk and its helped me out a ton with my roof.

The 4.5 was just right for the lower fender. I never used one so I watched a lot of videos and knew not to rush the heat and cool cycle for best results. I didn't use air or water to cool just time and the results were great.

Update 3/29
 

Been in the house for a week and when the temps are good ... it's Camaro time!!

The goal was to get the front end wiring verified with installed equipment and power, well that was the goal ... seems my AAW headlight switch is defective. I cannot get the switch shaft to lock in the headlight switch ...grrrr.

So working on the Dapper lighting LED 7", the lights were great it's the mounting hardware that went south, seems the plastic inserts for the adjustments were brittle and broke on me, ordered more Friday ...

Anywho, I worked on the grille assembly today to only find the powder coater smashed the upper grille assembly mounting flanges closed. So I straightened it mostly to get her installed but she'll need more tweaking ... the simple stuff that kicks your arse!!!

So glad I bought my OEM grille assembly back in '98 (Ummm $79.95) and this is the first time she's been mounted (that sounds awkward) but things lined up pretty well ...

Really liking the blacked-out look of the grille and headlights ... now if I can only get power to them :headspin: Thought I had the screws for the headlight bezels but I can't find them right now ...


Thanks for looking...
