Thanks fellas!
Finally got all the gaps and panels squared away, should be going into the booth in about a week. The new cowl hood was a huge PITA to get to fit properly, same with the repop endura grill surround, very bad lol.
Goth the trunk finished in the aqua splatter paint as well.
cheers

Love this build
1) How many hours do you have into that 2nd Gen? 2) Is that a customers car? 3) How many 2nd Gen Camaros you got going there? You pro guys still amaze me what you can bring back from the dead, VERY impressive - I don't understand how it can be economically feasible unless it is someone's prized grandfathers first car etc etc Sent by the random thoughts from the voices in my head...

Is that Zolatone in the trunk area?
That's what I used on the '65 Buick Special Convertible. 1968 Coronet R/T

Fabulous work, so you paint the jambs at a seperate stage to the car, definetly following your work.
Question if I may, if both rear quarters and tail panel are being replaced, do you do each panel separately, that is fit and weld, or do you remove all of them and then shift everything around until best fit up and then start welding Steve |

Yes, it's best to get paint in all the nooks and crannys, especially on a full colour change.
Fit both rear 1/4s and tailight panel at the same time before any final welding, that way all door gaps and trunk gaps can be sorted out at the same time. I use self tapping screws to hold it all together before welding. It's also a good idea to test fit the back window as well before committing to the welder cheers Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgement.
