Hey Steve, I figure I have to try something different to keep up with all the cool stuff that is out there and make mine stand out.

Here is the Door to Front Fender and how that is shaping up.


Now we are tryin to figure how far we want the fender to stick out as this will help with bigger tires under the car....We all want bigger tires. If we just put the outer inner fender on stock it was way out and looked like we put fender flare on the rear so we cut an inch and a half out of the tub and got the quarter skin to fit more flush and not look so flared out.




As far as the post on the door and quarter glass we are going to leave this in so it is not like a Camaro. I dod not want this to look like we took a Camaro and put a Nova roof on it when we are done so it will have the post and the rear of the car will be Nova. Bumper, Tail Lights and rear trunk. Just a reminder of how this is going to look.


As we get more pictures I will be adding them to the post.
Stay tune.

I hear you all the way, I love it!

Well now it is getting a little tricky getting all these panels to matchup. As you can see the Camaro quarter is a little smaller in length than the Nova so there is going to be some work on the tail end of the quarter to make this all flow nicely.


The door fit pretty well to the Nova door frame and looks to be maybe the simpliest part to get figured out. Here you can see the back of the Quarter and how it will need work to make things flow.


About ready to cut the Nova skin off and then we can weld the quarter panel into place. You can really see the flare that the Camaro quarter has over the Nova. Without a mini tub we could put a 335 tire under this.



As you can tell we are only working on one side so the other should be much easier once we figure it all out on this side.. I hope....

Thanks for checking it out.

Instead of trying to use the 69 Quarter why not just use the gills and recreate the body line from scratch. I think it would be much easier then trying to use an existing Camaro panel.

In reality your just trying to add a body line detail which could easily be done in steal ( not by me of course ).

edit.

It looks like your trying to go to high up on the existing Quarter Panel with the Camaro Panel

Me likey Ed,

You are my kind of innovator always looking to push past the norm.

Nice. This is a similar concept to my project. Only without the entire Camaro nose. Be nice to see it when its done.

Marty, I think the way we are going about this will make it easier once we get the parts all trimmed down as there will be very little left of the Camaro quarter besides the lines and the wheel opening.

The Nova quarter has now been cut and started pulling it out to make the transition between the two so the body line goes into the Nova quarter to the tail light.


Brett and Derren, Thanks for checking it out and your comments on the build. It has a long ways to go but little by little it will get closer to what I want.

Need to work on the Door Frame to get that all lined up next as the doors have a little different ark to them.

Stay tuned as I will update as progress is made..
