This is the next challenge on the 67 Camaro.
Serious opening in the recess there. I replace steel in the rear window recess, but this one will pretty much require rebuilding the entire corner. There are also two trim clip studs missing at this corner area.
First step will (of course) be removal of the windshield and I believe I can handle that.
Closer look
Any advice for me as I prepare to cut into this mess?

Not opening for me either this morning.
PIC on other thread not opening either. Can't connect to PhotoBucket site ... I presume it's a (hopefully temporary) problem at PhotoBucket. I'll check on it a bit later on. Thanks for the heads up. |

I am doing same window fram repair's on My Fire bird project. I havnt started on them yet but Im not affraid of them at all.
I picked up a small sheet metal break Metal bender and a Shrinker Stretcher combo set up all three from Harbor freight. I have played with them now and whipped up new pieces with ease .Just a matter of cutting the rotten pieces out and welding the patches in. About 5 min into video he makes window channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6frSjl1Gf8o Dennis B.

Nice video Dennis. Interesting stuff.
The cooler temps have had me off the Camaro project. With Spring just about here I'll be back on it soon. The main damage on mine is that side pillar which is pretty much dead straight, should make it a bit easier for me. Thanks for the response. I'll probably be posting more as I actually get into it. |
