      67 firebird convertible sheetmetal replacement

      Looking for a write up, or book, for panel replacement for first gen convertible. The rear quarters, outer wells, full trunk, tail light panel, driver rocker and panel under the rear window. Maybe the inner wells and frame rails, hopefully not. Over half the car is getting replaced. I'm slowly digging up info but I'm sure some of you can point me in the right direction.

      Also, I've seen/heard different ways of replacing that much metal. A jig looks like the best bet. For those of you that have done this before, any feedback would be very helpful. Yes I know this is a lot of work, that rocker is going to pita, but I might be able to help my dad restore his car.

      Lots of good threads over on camaros.net. I recommend a body jig. I used these plans and his precut brackets:
