Over on my Mach1 thread I had mentioned another of my projects. If anyone has curiosity as to the status on the Camaro, here is a link to a thread I started some five years ago right here on this forum. It sure doesn't seem like that many years of life have slipped away
Here is a PIC of the car.
Below is the link to the old thread. I only link it because it will give you a good idea of the status without me rehashing a lot of the same stuff. I believe I can go back and re-insert some of the missing PICs over the next day or so.
I'd appreciate any new comments going on this thread and leaving the old thread in the annals of the past for reference only.

looks really nice...you won't be able to edit that old thread (the system has a 48 hour timer on editing).
Also that thread has some noise in it. You may want to just create a new thread showing the progress from start to finish -- that would be pretty cool. |

Chris, I went back in and quickly realized I had no ability to edit or replace PICs.
I'll have plenty of questions regarding this one. |
In the future I suggest you simply mix a small amount of epoxy primer and apply with a brush to protect your bare metal until you are ready to spray the entire panel/car. It actually lays down quite well when brushed on.
Some epoxy primers specifically state not to spray them over acid/etch primers. 1968 Coronet R/T

Thanks for the input. I'll read what my epoxy says about that.
I like the brush idea, much simpler than spraying small spots. At the time I did the acid etch primer I had never worked with epoxy, I'm past that bit of ignorance now. |

I see more here than in your other thread about this. Someone filled the qrt/tulip seam and there appears to be an abundant amount of filler in the qrt. Don't weld the tailpanel on yet. Strip the whole shell for evaluation. Many people, including the vendors refer to the outer cowls(saddlebags) as tulip panels. The factory workers called the rear deck filler panel the tulip panel.
