Chief, you have THE finest example of total rust removal from a home based build that I've seen! Very good work indeed!

Travis, the AMD roof needed the windshield corners rebuilt other than that it fit good, little trimming here and there!

Thanks for your comments, hopefully my build will inspire others and give them some ideas!!


Good garage day ... now I have to tidy up some stuff under here!

Get the car detailed, lol!


Been busy with this and that ... made the junction where the lower quarter panel to trunk dropoff meet (both sides are done!) and got that all squared away; welded the frame connectors to rear frame; sanded and prepped the underbody for Lizard Skin and started mocking up the rear window filler panel w the drip rails and hinges. I'm sure there is something I'm missing ...

Ordered a new OE dash top and that arrived today, WOW .... the first panel I don't have to modify Great stamp just like OEM so I brought out the DeWalt and got her ready for epoxy. Glad I waited for this piece cuz the other one was APOS!




Moser center is here!


Getting the window filler panel ready for attaching!


Geting that drip rail in is a trick and a half, epoxy is next and bond!


Prepping the inside window trim for epoxy!


Details is what makes this panel superior to the other POS!


Got the EDP off and ready for epoxy!

Well, there you have it, waiting for my Speed Tech tunnel to arrive here Tuesday, do the tunnel T56 mods and then get some epoxy, Lizard Skin and single stage urethane on the underside. IF the weather cooperates

Thanks for looking ...

Oh here is the passenger side completed!

Wow--somebody's crazy-motivated here. I hope to be nearing your progress level mid-way through next week, or maybe nearer the end . . .

This car stuff is an excellent cure for an end of year/term brain demolition exercise.

Great build. I wish I had the skills like you. Question for you. Being a total noob (only welded once) I read that you are just bonding the inner and outer together? Also your just gluing the tubs in? Please correct me if I am wrong. I am trying to figure out how to replace my outers with my quarters still on the car. If I can mini tub just by gluing the tubs together I will do that. Less money. Thanks! I have a 69 Camaro BTW

Replacing the outer wheel house with the quarter in place can be done however you will need to get all the mating surfaces down to bare metal before bonding. So take your time and pay attention to the flanges and your cut lines and you will be fine. The strength of the bond depends on the cleanliness of the prep work and the "best fit" of the metal, in other words, you can't have gaps in the metal and expect the bond to hold as intended .... get 'er tight and clamp everything tight.

Good luck!


Kinda cold for shooting epoxy ... sprayed outside and brought the parts into the heated garage to flash and now they are sitting in the bedroom curing. I got the trunk drip rails and the top dash in primer. Tomorrow I'll get the heat going and bond the dash top.



Thanks for looking and asking questions ...
