1970 Camaro-Purpose Built Auto Cross

[Mac&Otto]

Here are some more pics of the recent progress. As soon as the cage was finished I dropped the car off at Rockets Garage in Outlook Washington, just an hour west of me. Riley Morris is the owner and his shop does quality work. I was struggling for time with the Nomad build and Riley had an opening in his shop. They did some sheetmetal fab, some patch panel stuff and welded up everything I didn't finish. They did a great job and I'm glad to be over the hump. This will allow me to start hanging fiberglass components and then on to prime.

Raised the floor to tuck in the exhaust.

The fit and finish of these panels turned out nice.

The cowl is all buttoned up and painted now.

Bulkheads are all finished up. These were a pain. I tucked them up,tight to the cowl flange and there is several layers of metal in that area that sometimes make clean welding a little difficult.

Tomorrow it will go back on the scales to see how much weight I've gained due to the cage and having the cowl finished up. I will post some more pics then.

Thanks, Cal.

Hi, im in the process of raising my floor pans, for exhaust clearance. Just wondering if you used 20 gauge or 18 gauge metal?

Thanks, Sandro

I used both. It has some 18 gauge bracing and flanging but the actual beaded pan is 20 gauge. Plenty solid.
