Nothing too exciting ... my tool for the window nut came in today ... so I figured I'd get the quarter windows polished :thumbsup: Why wait?

Came out really nice ... wrapped them up and put them away.

Thanks for looking ... should be welding this weekend, AND it's Spring Break -NO SCHOOL next week :thumbsup: just homework!

Finally a side cowl
 
welded in, now that's a good Camaro day:thumbsup:.

Got the passenger side cowl welded in ... little heat, some hammer/ dolly work, and some more heat and she's all good. I'm gonna wait on the outer shell til I can get some undercoat or Lizard Skin on the inside.

So that's what it will look like ... almost forgot :relax:

The driver's side will take more work cuz the stamping is off and I have to fill where I sliced to make it fit correctly .... but I will get on it tomorrow fer sure. If the temp is good tomorrow I may spray some epoxy ... we'll see!

Thanks for looking ....

Well Done Chief! Good Camaro Day for sure!!

You know, I am pretty blessed with how clean my Camaros body is. At least as far as I know anyway... knock on wood. For me there is always a level of uncertainty. But I tell you what, you know exactly what you have and how meticulous and solid the work on yours is. Be very proud of your work. You set a great example.

:thankyou: :thankyou: I hope you not mind me stealing your Good Camaro Day saying .... but it fits.

I am just doing it the correct way ... hope someone else learns from this thread.

Roberts68 03-16-2013 06:12 PM

Mind? Heck no! I smiled when I read it.:D

I'm sure I'm not the only one learning from your thread either.

Looks good Chief!

You all need to pass some of that 'Good Camaro Day' karma my way. I purchased trunk lid #5 and it showed up yesterday. Guess what? Didn't fit worth a darn. I haven't even braved trying to get back to work on my front cap. I'm probably going to go talk to a local resto shop and see about getting them to deal with it. I've just lost my patience for it. I'm ready to start block sanding and spraying some color damnit!!

:thankyou: You can have all my karma you need, don't know if it's any good thou :D I bought my deck lid 11 years ago from Ricks and it fit just like the OEM ... guess I lucked out. I wish you luck.

I finished welding the driver's cowl .... what a PITA, made two patches where I had to slice the corners and wrestled it back in place. Weld, hammer/ dolly and more heat and she fits.

Good Camaro Day fer sure :thumbsup:

Finish with some epoxy primer and some undercoat!


I'll finish dressing the welds another time .... I'm beat!

Thanks for looking.... time to :relax:
