There's not much more to do until it gets primed now which needs to be in a booth. We have to seam seal some stuff and in 2-3 weeks the car goes in to get the cage and welding stuff wrapped up..then to the booth for 3 coats of primer then block the whole car again and cut the jambs in..then paint hopefully. Still have to buy an anvil rear spoiler and front valance...more updates coming soon..

can't wait to see the updates, keep up the great work.

After seeing the pictures of the door/rocker panel/quarter panel gap it appears that the front of the door is too high. It looks like it is a little to close to the pillar. You are going to have to weld rod to some part of the door. If you drop the front part of the door down it will open up the door to quarter panel gap, which is pretty much what happened on one of our cars. The aftermarket quarter panels don't always fit to the back part of the door especially the top part. Instead of welding rod to the bottom you might have to weld the rod to the door edge and work that. You will have to take a look at how the body lines are transitioning between panels and let me know what you think. This stuff is pretty common once you start cutting and putting aftermarket panels on, but really, the origianl panels never fit all that great. A good friend of mine has an all original never been repainted 25K mile 1968 camaro that I go over and look at and measure gaps, they are not pretty. Patience is your best tool, used often.

Great work.:thumbsup:

Well the car went to get the cage done today. I got some bad news from the builder lance. He is going to put the cage in, build and weld in sub frame connectors, and finish welding the rear end brackets to complete the air ride set up. We also talked about him welding the bottom of the door to correct that gap. He looked at both doors and told me that they have to be fitted again and some metal is going to be added/filed. He then showed me his 67 and how it should look. Basically the doors need sone work. But at this time he's finishing up some big projects and can handle that kind of work. So he's going to do what we have planed and then let me know when I can bring the car back for the other work. All welding work has to be done before final body work. More updates coming soon as I hopefully will be going there to help our with the work as I'm eager to learn.

Nice progress the car is looking great.

So my dad and my cousin picked up my car last night for me while I was at work. My dad grabbed some pictures for me. I will get some better pictures this weekend. Also if anyone wants the cage builders info just let me know. Hes an awsome guy and really knows his stuff.
