Default New post first build 69 camaro

This is my first muscle car. I started with an original. After looking it over I decided to make a jig off of it and build a new body with Dynacorn and AMD sheetmetal. The floor and sides are Dynacorn. Everything else is AMD. I don't have any body experience, but I can weld and measure. Surprisingly it really looks nice. The doors fit good. The floor is tubed. I would like to use a full chassis on it. Its the last thing on my list to work on, so it doesn't get much attention. I started trying to see if any of my boys would get interested in it instead of playing video games. Can't say I was that successful. I haven't fitted the trunk yet or rear panel. I was debating if I wanted exhaust cut outs in back. I'm leaning more to keeping it original. Jim

I'll try to link the pics up. https://www.flickr.com/photos/137443442@N02/
