I've decided to take a break from the firewall and then go at it again later on to finish it off. Here is the body stuff that I used on the car so far.
And here is the primer that I used;
My only other thought is to use a filler primer when I get close to painting it but that will not be until Spring, I also watched some YouTube videos of guys shooting some black guide coat and blocksanding to find the low spots. I am now getting the car on the rotisserie and will start working on the bottom;
Last week I sent my TCI frame to the powder coat shop and should have it back in a couple weeks. After that my 350 goes to Richmond Engine in Langley to get broken-in and Dyno tested and then I can start the assembly on the drivetrain. Updates will now start coming much more slowly as it really isn't very interesting to see me cleaning and scraping the bottom of the car. In the Spring I'll order the TCI rear suspension and hopefully get the car back into rolling status.
Bit of an update. The TCI frame is back from powder coating and Kevin at Mayfair Signs and Powder Coating here in Chilliwack did an awesome job at a really reasonable price. I will be getting together some more parts to take over to him for powder coating.
I did a bit of welding and made some rear mounts for the rotisserie that bolt to the original rear spring mounts and to the original arms of the rotisserie. Hint; ALWAYS check fit before you do your final weld, I spent over an hour undoing some welds from some bad measuring.
The Camaro is now hung on the rotisserie and I've started removing the final few parts of the interior and will remove all the glass. The final cleanup on the body is getting near and then the mini-tubs and new quarter panels. I'll also start assembling the front suspension on the TCI frame and the plan will be to assemble the complete front and mount the engine and trans after the SBC gets back from the machine shop for it's break-in and dyno test. It may be coming slow but atleast I'm making progress.
