Keep up the good work! I have a 72 which is in the same condition as yours, if not worst. I was to start woriking on it this weekend, but I pulled a muscle in my hip area at the driving range yesterday(yes, golfing can hurt!!). I'll keep watching your thread!

I have finished painting thus part that don’t need Body Filler and sanding or will not be exposed.

And I painted the floor and inside top lightly to close it for now.

I have not decided on pan yet

I posted the LH8 pan because it show size different on the camaro pan and pan that fits the Chevelle
