Not surprised about the windshield rust, luckily that is an easy/cheap fix on that area. My first red '69 project had the same issue. The hidden stuff beneath the paint seems awfully familiar, oh yeah my car was like that. Hahaha

I was kidding with my body guy a couple weeks ago, after having gone through this same thing as you are. I should have just bought a Dynacorn body to begin with. Doh!

Looking forward to the updates. If that were my car, I'd keep it white. Very few clean bright white (not Dover white) Camaros out there.

They have some interesting beers there. White is on the short list!

I never took any photos of the quarter panels,but you will find all sort things under paint. My 67 RS Camaro is probably the longest build on Lateral-g.net, but it is at Sled Alley now. If you plan to eliminate the front bumper, then you might want to remove the fender extensions seam. Depends if your shop can do it in lead, but mine is weld solid and smoothed in lead. I had to keep the front bumper, but it is due to the state front license plate laws. I will post a thread of it soon.

Yeah...opening one of these cars up is always an adventure. The Pepsi can is pretty crazy and 3 quarter panels? That's nuts!

New parts are on the way and it should be quick. It's just part of the process, but one that makes you go for sure. LMAO
