67 Camaro project..getting bigger every day.

Well when I got this car it had no front right fender or nose stuff. It came with all the parts to put back together so the plan was to get this back on the road to have fun with while I really concentrated on my vette project. Well we stripped the rest of the car because there was no way to match the paint and make it look right so we were just gonna scuff up the paint and spray the whole thing(I know..but like I said..not my main project). After closely looking at the existing paint we figured out it was a loosing battle. There were cracks in it and bubbles that were popin. Since a paint job will only look as good as its base neither my painter or I wanted to throw good over bad..since it wouldn't last long and would look like crap again. Well now we are gonna send it to be media blasted to get to metal and bring it back. The good thing is I will be able to go with a color I want now(the one on it wasn't my favorite)...the bad part is that it will be more money/work than I had planned on but hey..part of it right. I'm fighting now going too deep in the car but if I do I will never get to the car that I started all this with..my 76 Corvette. Anyhow..that is where I'm at. Here is where the car is at.

This is how I got it



These are the rims that will more than likely go on it. The car is about 2-3 inches lower in the front and I got rid of those 6" shackes on the rear so its also down about 3"



And here is as it sits now..ready to go out to get blasted.









Also...didnt find any suprises as I striped it...car looks as solid as we thougt it was. We will find out more when the paint comes off..we may have one bondo place on the pass. door but doesn't look bad. Sorry for the long post..I'm just bored tonight..lol.

you know how the story goes......you start by replacing a missing bolt in the car and the next you know you are doing a full resto. All the best

I'm trying not to let that happen...I keep telling myself that this is my driver right now..I can come back to it after the vette is done so i just need to get it nice to fart around with on the street.
