haven't worked on the car in over a month now. had some things going on but they have settled down so i can get back to work on the car. started earlier this week with some parts i picked up at jegs and goodguys. this covers everything i did this week after i got home in the evenings.

since i didn't have a lot of time during the week i knocked out a lot of small projects i wanted to get done. got the drivers body mount access filled.

then i bent up some 18g sheet metal and fixed the driver tulip that had some cancer. this was my first time using a shrinker so i'm pretty happy with how well it come out.

So now that I'm back to work on the Camaro I am updating this thread. I'll start with oldest to latest.

First I got the passenger front inner fender modified to fit the 295's without rubbing.

Then I built bushing ends to a poly bushing and modified the SpeedTech transmission crossmember.

After that I filled the corners at the rear window since I deleted the package tray.

And then I shaved the drive and passenger drip rails

And lastly I scavenged at the junk yard and picked up a mirror, home link with map lights and venture van door latches.

Mocked up the new latch mount

Then mocked up the striker

Filled the stock striker hole and the vent.

Good to see you back on it! Just wondering when you get ride of the jam vents how do you think the doors will close when all the windows are up? I'm doing the same thing and have an idea but wanted to see want you are going to do? Keep up the nice work.

thinking about grafting a pressure vent out of a newer car into the backside of the wiper cowl since i'm not using the astro vents anymore or maybe the kick panels. they are a one way flapper vent that all new cars have. size and shape vary from car to car so it may take some time to find the right one.
