:ohsnap: , its coming along. cant wait to see the passenger Qtr panel mocked up and closed off..... :ups: Should be bring the rear wheels any day now....

Perfect, Ill have both quarters up by this coming weekend.

Welding up the doors and started the firewall work saturday. Then I'll get to welding up the fenders.

Start of the firewall and under dash layout

Nice did the vintage air start arriving yet?

small stuff should be there Weds and the evap kit shipping direct from VA....no track yet.

Finally have the inner wheel houses modified and fit. Both quarters are inplace and almost ready for final welding.

The wheels and tires came in and we test fit the rears after we assembled the 2001 Camaro rear discs.

Customer decided on running a smaller wheel package to start with. Keeping a budget to finish the build is hard to contain but necessary. Budget would not allow the 18x12's but the room is there if needed later down the road.

18x10 American racing TTII's with 285's are adjusted to hug the quarter. 1/2" outer and 3" inner clearence.

Rust repairs and holes filled in the drivers door. Fender fit for some rust patch work.

Nice work, Vince.

Even the much hyped ^^^^^^^ can't keep pace with the inVincinator. :thumbsup:


Skip

in-Vince-able?

thanks guys,

its been a long week and its only Wednesday. Have an issue with the passenger side door. It never fit right from the factory. Perfect gap to the rear jam, perfect gap at the rocker and perfect line up on top, nice and level but yet the front gap to the fender is at an angle. It has to be the skin, but I can finagle with some cutting, grinding, welding then more grinding.


Saturday nights and Sundays are my recharge days....unless im working on an Orange Camaro.


Prepping for the roof!

I think if you throw my wheels on his for a mock up and send him the pic he will change his mind.....LOL:innocent:

haaaa mind but not the wallet. :underchair:

Man Vince you are on your way to a bonus!!!! Car is coming along quick!!!!!!!

Hehehehehe, My mind has been made up. wallet, not so much LOL!
:G-Dub: :badidea: :drowninga:

Your wheels are killer by the way!!!!

Let me know when you are ready :). I'll hook you up with a set.
:innocent:

Spent most of the day getting the roof to sit nice. The joy's of aftermarket sheet metal.

The only tough spot is going to be the drivers corner. But should be ok since we will be shaving the drip rail and mould in the a-piller panels to the roof.

Since I had the roof on I thought i'd at least drop the hood on to, just to make it complete.

Don't get too excited...once the car gets checked for square I pop in about a hundred cleckos, a few under panels get tacked on, the whole thing comes apart and then welded in reverse.

Very Nice!

Before I tore the car apart I took notes of funky factory fitment and measurments to ensure the car goes together close to what it started with. But in this case, much better. We know the glass, hood, trunk and doors fit so we are pretty close. This was almost 4 years ago.

So with all of the metal on the car and squared we can start solidifying the foundation.
1st step....trunk drop offs and then rear outer wheel houses. Once these are welded we will reassemble the car again to double check fitment.

You can see how much we are extending outer wheel houses to bulge the quarter panel out.

Looking good Vince. :thumbsup:

thanks bub...i didnt realize the picture was so dark.

Please no!!!!!:disgusted: :underchair:

haaaa haaa you sucker.... can you spot the differences? Believe it or not, it will fit a 335 on 12's no problem.

The wheels and tires came in so we decided to do a full mock up and push it outside to take a look from a distance.

Nice work on dat Shivy. :thumbsup:

metal work continues....

quarters are on and welding up all the seams. thanks chris!!!!

No, thank you, :) lol


Coming along can't wait to check it out
Monday!!!

well then i'll let you sleep good with this in mind....sounds like Fallujah over here.

Allllllll smiles :)

Looks killer Vince. Really dig the 66-67 body style. Miss my 66 often.

Hint........Hint..........Get the front suspension and steering linkage in place before final engine mounting............

Ask me how I know......

Ken

yep, frames getting pulled again then assembled with the engine out and body off. needs some tunnel and firewall work. 1 of 4 mock up's.

thanks d, even more than your 68? :slingshot:

Where did you find the 5.25 HID lights?

the company is Streetrod shop, www.streetrodshop.com

Thanks!

Updates? :)

....just a bunch of boring metal work.

I had to rework the trans tunnel a bit to get the engine to sit right. That changed a few things on the firewall. You can only hammer form so much.

We decided to Seal all body seams.........

Dynomat, but of course will be all through the car. We added it to the QTR panels before they were installed.
