Dont you just love what you think is a rust free car........well isnt rust free at all? Good work so far its nice to see you arent taking the fast/easy/cheap way out and doing it right. I have no doubt this will be an awesome car when it is done. Keep up the good work!

[MrQuick]

Aj, I'd brace that sucker up and get it to a blaster. Or blast it yourself.


looks good so far.

[bonecrrusher]

Damn... lots of new sheetmetal to hang...

What "was" your floor epoxied with?

[CamaroAJ]

its the EDP coating that comes on the new metal.

[bonecrrusher]

Epoxy coating on the garage floor....

[Dons67]

GREAT start - i'll be looking forward to seeing this unfold

[CamaroAJ]

Epoxy coating on the garage floor....

it was there when we bough the house, you would think since we own a garage flooring company i would have awesome floors lol.

[69fbodyproject]

This is going to be a good project. Youve got a pretty good amount done in less than 5 days.

[bonecrrusher]

it was there when we bough the house, you would think since we own a garage flooring company i would have awesome floors lol.

LOL.... I know the feeling, I've been in the house 2 months now. I should have epoxied the floor before I moved in... oh well. I bought some epoxy from Griots Garage, I read a lot of good reviews on it, and I'll be going through those pains in a week or so!

back on topic.. new parts are always great!

[CamaroAJ]

thanks guys. i got the driver rocker done tonight and about 95% of the passenger rocker out. tomorow i'll get that all cleaned up, paint the inside to keep the rust from comming back then get the new one mocked up. if i have time i'll get it all welded in so i can start on installing the new firewall tuesday and floor wednsday. i have some rust on the frame rails i need to repair but want to wait till the floor is in so i have them lined up right. if all goes well i'm going to try and get the sub frame connectors and mini tubs done this weekend.

[CruizinKev]

nice! keep up good work!
