Back from media blasting and on the frame table, we knew the drivers quarter was coming off, there was a couple crappy repairs, dings etc, but no rust

Not bad! Nice to see it isn't full on rust.

DSE frame and a host of other parts from DSE came, awesome quality and as we found moving forward with the project the fit is better than expected

The right side quarter has some previous damage repair but definitely fixable

Fitting the DSE subframe to the front end

I sourced an NOS left side quarter panel from Camaro Central, they are great to work with, high regards.
We found hidden damage under the quarter that had been reskinned, the outer wheel well had been repaired which made it impossible to fit the new quarter.
(Thinking a tire blow out or an axle let loose)
So I did some research and found a Sherman outer wheel well.
From what I could find Sherman was stamping parts in the US or North America a while ago and I was able to source one from Camaro Specialities, It was cheap and fit like a glove so did the NOS quarter.

Man that’s a clean car. What did you paint the inside of the quarter panel (looks white) with?

Thanks,
Jim
