Project "Redfire" 69 Camaro
 

So I've finally made some real progress on Redfire, so I'd thought I'd share some pics of the metal work. I'm attempting all the metal work myself which includes new everything. I'm concentrating on getting back to a roller before working on the suspension and drivetrain. Ron

Here's the new inner quarter replacement on the pass side. This $70 panel saved me at least day of fabbing

re-skinning the pass door, the goodmark skin fits good. The door fitting on the car is different story.

and here's some pics of the DSE closeout and blower motor smoothing. I welded the DSE using rosets (sp?) from behind to keep the outer lip intact.

Here's the last pic on the closeout and the back-half mocked together with the poor fitting deck lid. I'm going to try the original as it measures anywhere from an eighth to a quarter wider!!!

Cool, that's a lot of work. :cheers:

I've gotten alot of great advice from members here and as a novice I really appreciate it!! :lateral:

Here's some pics from last month when I installed the new goodmark speaker shelf which actually installed without a fight! It goes from the back seat to inside the trunk and includes the weather strip lip.

Very nice !

Looks good :thumbsup:

slow progress
 

Made a little more progress, new inner/outer rockers, inner WWs, toe pans, and one piece floor pan installed. The inner GM WWs fit great. Wish I could find more GM metal.

So it's been a while since my last update, just now perfecting the gaps and measurements on the quarters, trunk, and tail pan. Until then, here's a few pics of the MD valance mock up.
