'69 Camaro Temper

So for the glass you filled in the side and top gap - did you add anything to the bed where the windshield sits ? How much depth is on those edges ? In other words if you lay the windshield down on the opening, how recessed is the glass from the edges in the "vertical" direction - ie how much padding will go under the glass where you glue it and if you do need any spacing there how will that be accomplished ?

although I don't know why I ask, I'm way past the point where I would ever be motivated to put in flush glass, I'm just curious !

It's about 5/8" deep roof line to mounting lip. I measured new cars when they had the glass out and they are in the area of 5/8"-3/4". The glass is almost 1/4" thick so that leaves me with around 3/8" thickness of urethane to glue the glass in.

I got lots done yesterday now that my new mig gun showed up.

I finished welding and grinding the window frame


Then I got the driver A pillar weatherstrip filler tacked then fully welded and ground smooth (smoothed out not pictured)


I plan on recessing my Infinity Box modules, so I started building boxes for the modules



My Anvil fenders will be here tomorrow, so I went ahead and assembled the car lol

Thanks guys. I've got more parts on order and making good progress on it. I'm really looking forward to getting this car done and driving it.

Do you mind sharing what tools/abrasives you are using for cleaning up all of those welds? You're stuff looks fantastic. Especially all of those inside corners like the window frame.

Car is looking great. This is a fun project to watch.

Thank you.

On the large flat areas I'm using 60 grit flap disk on a 4" air grinder to get it close as it takes off a lot of metal fast. The tight corners I'm using a carbide burr bit in a straight die grinder then a sandpaper roll on a angle die grinder. The straight inside angle parts I'm just using a 3" cut off wheel to rough grind everything. To smooth the rough grinds down I'm using 36 grit down to 60 grit 3" roloc disks on a 2" arbor to get the disk to flex enough to get the corners smooth. Once everything is good to go I finish it all off with 80 grit on a DA.

I love this build. Do you have the inner fender extensions? I have the same fenders and inner fenders but I have no idea how to go about installing the extensions.
