Thank you Dan,
I aspire to do the kind of work Ive seen you do, amazing. Good luck with your new venture.

Very nice work, Jason!

Fantastic worksmanship!! Great ability and talent! :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Looks killer.:thumbsup:

I love the bumpers all tucked up tight like that. Sweet!

Love it, love it, love it......Did I say I love it.

Great work to say the least. I can't wait to see the finish product.

Jason.. How long you been doing this:question: :question: :question: Stunning . I'm blown away....:bow:

That is beautiful work, I love it.

Amazing Just amazing :hail:
In the render you have Hre Wheels is that what your going with?

Off and on a couple of years now. Thanks Mario

Probably, it's not set in stone yet. Wheels/Tires, Brakes and shocks are the last things I need to get.

Couple pics of the trunk pan and hinge supports.

Your fabrication is truely a work of art. What I find amazing is that you said that you are just learing to fabricate, is this correct? I think that you are setting the bar high with future builds! Can't wait to see this masterpiece completed!

killer fab work outstanding I love the car that was at the SEMA show

Question ? On your panels are you useing a male female buck and press ? Bead roller ? Or tracer buck on a pullmax ? Or what ever else you have up your sleeve ? I think I'm going to change a few things on the Cuda I'm builbing after seeing your work. Very inspiring.

Finally you put this thread up....
Im thinking this will be the baddest 69 yet!! :bow:

I really can't wait to see what else your going to do with the car. :woot:

Jason I went through your build thread and have a question... Can you tell me what method you use for closing or opening the body gaps.

I have the same questions? Also, will all the body seams be smoothed?

Can you tell me what method you use for closing or opening the body gaps.

This car is shaping out to be my favorite 69 Camaro ever! :hail:

I'm using a bead roller. I would love to have a pullmax though, that would open alot of new doors.

1/8" round bar and welder for closing, grindin and weldin for opening. There alot in of steps and it takes alot of time. I hammer and dolly edges as flat and thin as I can get before adding or removing material. On edges of quarters and such if there soft I will cut and add rod to get a sharp edge. You have to go slow and take your time with lots of hammer and dolly work. I seen some guys make a mess out of panels. Pacual said you can have your gaps out of bondo or metal, you choose.

I had to re-skin both doors and I fully welded the inside so there are no seams

Here is some pics of the doors

Most of the seams will be smoothed

Jason THANX!!
I get it now, this was a MAJOR concern with my build. So when you add the 1/8 inch round bar you then weld the bar the complete lenght of the edge correct :question: Tig or Mig:question:

Thanks !!!

Very nice work,This will be something to see when done

If that's what your into I guess......:D

this car is awesome!:hail:
Great work!

Every time I come back to check I'm more amazed. You do beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Wayne, How's yours coming along?

That gap Is killer good job!:hail: :hail: :hail:

Amazing. Great job.:thumbsup:

man i wish i had the skill/talent you did to build a car like that.. i have to pay people lol

Man I love this car! :wow:

I'm afraid to ask him myself!!:_paranoid

I love the trunk ideas also. Top steel
Im still mesmerized that this is your first time at it... :bow:

Unfortunately no new progress.

Thought I would post some pics of the new latches and strikers I installed. Didn't care for the stock ones much so I picked up a pair from a Lexus IS350. Doors close much more quite and with little effort.

Nice latches Jason! Pasqual showed me those when I was down there. I like the way the doors feel when you open/close them.
