- - Project "TQMNSTR"....69 Camaro (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20517)

The media blaster decided to put a paint meter on car yesterday before he started blasting....just for kicks. Most of the car was around 40 mics. Lower quarters were around 220 mics!! Needless to say he was on his 3rd pass this afternoon and still going.

Looks like you are on your way to a nice straight body and paint job. :thumbsup: Got any pics of the dead mice? :lol:

Very cool. Moving right along!:thumbsup:

Very happy that the windshield cowls are in good shape both front and back.

Very cool. Glad you got the car back already!
Have fun man and keep us posted.:thumbsup:

It amazes me that people did that bad of metal work back then and thought it was fine to just put 5 gallons of mud over it.. Should have just left the rust and mudded over that instead! Looks pretty damn nice other then those quarters.

Bronze and bondo don't play well with each other!

Back then I think it was probably the way to do it. Not the right way...but the most common way.

Looks like Rodger's Panel Gap Spray holds up to even the best media blasting!
Time for new quarters and fenders....all in all that's not bad! :thumbsup:

Thats a blasts!!! Starting out a project is a hard one. But i hope you are doing fun with it. Its a worthwhile project. Good luck and have fun!!!! :D

Very cool man! Keep up the great work.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Very cool. Continued good luck man!:thumbsup:
The inner fenders do look to be in good shape.

Nice progress!
I would go get your nice wheels and take them home! You wouldn't believe how many scratches they can get on them just from the grinding debris and such....and that's even if they try to protect them! I'm just sayin'....

I took a page from Mark Stielow's build book and did pick up a set of Corvette C4 17" spare tires today on Ebay for $26 each. I will get those in a week and swap out the front rims before it sees any body work.

Getting the metal prepped for the new AMD full quarter panel, outer wheel house and trunk drop down panel.

Progress looks great, why not mini-tub while you have it down so far?

It's a rare car (2034 built) and I don't want to take it to the point of no return. Everything I have done is reversible to this point. I did really look closely at a mini tub but thought better of it.

Making some nice progress. Very good!:thumbsup:

I am so glad to see the unfolding of your project. Remarkable development!!! Keep going and cheers!!! :cheers:

Yep...driver quarter next and then the body is ready for finishing. While that is being done, the repairs to the bottoms of the front fenders can happen.

Pretty decent with only one guy on the metal work. Once that is done, they will double team it on the body work. Only 4 weeks left on the timeline.
