2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

I took a day off from the car and it was nice couple days off.

Back to the car and back to the reason why I posted so many pictures in the last post. I am hoping the amount of pictures I added
showed the amount of time it took to just do a simple door panel. If I had to quess I have at least 8 hours into just this one door and
I am hoping the drivers side goes much faster.

When I walked out to the garage I realized it was getting cluttered and I needed to clean it up.



Minutes later it looked like this.



One hour later the floor was washed and the garage smelled like Simple Green and even made a table with the new wheels and tires.



My neighbors son came over and helped me with the door panel today. We marked all the holes that needed to be
drilled for the plastic clips and spent 15 minutes making holes and hoping they all were in the proper place.







We installed all of the clips on the back of the door panel.



I am still considering adding a small red door pull toward the front and ordering the black window cranks from the guys at www.ScreamingChicken.com

and skip here is a Remy pic just for you

I am finally cleaning up and moving the parts I no longer need to the Attic.

Of course I took a couple pictures so I remember what I put up there





Finally pulling the tape of the drivers door as it;s been on their since I rebuilt the hinges.



Oh the fun.

So, this turned out to be much harder then I expected.



I couldn't get the stud started and I assumed it was because of the spring pressure.



Opps, I dropped it



Since the part was freshly powder coated I added a small amount of heat shrink to the bottom of the spring to protect the paint.



That was fun.



Apparently it was the paint that was keeping it from starting.





Got the tin man **** out.



You use the allen wrench to spin it.



Almost done



Nut is on and complete.

More Parts



Still trying to figure out this Negative Battery Kill Switch an I kinda like this a little better.







Pulled out more parts



I will need to make a close out for the Drivers side this weekend.

On the defrost ducts you use the 2" version.







I started doing the final wire mounting with the Mag Daddy Magnets and I needed to move the Sound Deadening.







Token Remy Picture



Lower Dash support bracket mounted.



Of course I ran out of these and will need to go to Home Depot again.



I needed to remove some paint off the upper dash support.



Apparently Remy needed to be closer to me and he even layed on top of me when I was lying under the dash.



Dash Support installed.

I just don't like the other shut off as it looks like crap and it just doesn't work right.

Marty,
I really dig the Mag Daddy clips you used. Great idea. The dash support you were tapping, is there only one of those? Where about does it go? I took my 70 apart about 6-8 yrs ago and I don’t remember those.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Since, I am not actually using the factory lower dash I needed this to support to hold up the dash pad.

So here we go again.



First concept









The switch will be located to the right of the battery hidden under the fender.



I forgot to take the picture of it sitting on the yellow towel.



ps I may go back and take a pictures so I have it for reference.

Here is the reference picture. (( Added 09-03-23 ))

I dropped off the cardboard mock the other day and I finally had time to pick it up from Dennis at High Speed Welding.



I plan to use one of the ''Raw'' Trays



Here we go



First step is to remove the support bracket.



Testing to see if what I came up with actually works







I need to tap the small hole closest to the switch so I can bolt the bracket to the bottom of the tray. Since my eye's don't work as well as they used to I needed to take a picture of the tap.



Drilled & Tapped





I covered the bracket in duct tape to protect the inner fender.





The support rod will go into the marked hole.
