**Camaro Zach** · 01-22-2005

**boodlefoof** · 01-23-2005

Nice progress. NOW it looks like a car again! At this pace you'll have the thing driving by summer!

**Camaro Zach** · 01-30-2005

jumped ahead and repaird some rust on the passenger door today did some other stuff but dont have pics to show for that...
Im going to be replacing the dash panel whenever i figure out what i want to do with the vin tag. i dont know wether to cut that section out, drilll out the rivots, or try and save/re-use the origional rivots, any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Zach

**smittys69** · 01-30-2005

Zach - we just drilled out the rivets and re-riveted into the new dash panel on mine. It still looks good and once painted - you'll never know. As long as it matches your cowl tag, that's all that matters. Lookin good dude

**TRILOGYZ28** · 01-30-2005

did you go with all reproduction panels?
btw, lookin good!

**Camaro Zach** · 01-31-2005

Thanks guys, yes they are repops. Goodmark I bought them back in November, but anything you buy from them after 05 is thicker gauge metal. Kind of makes me wish I had waited but oh well!

**FSTFBDY** · 01-31-2005

looking great..

**Camaro Zach** · 05-15-2005

Sorry i havent updated in a long time guys but another project rolled in the garage that needed attention (daily driver) so i had to get that done. Ill get back on the Camaro soon. The quarter panels are almost completely welded in as well as the wheel tubs. after i finish those up ill start working on the doors/front end.

**Camaro Zach** · 08-18-2005

Well my DD is almost done just have to pass emissions now so the Camaro is coming home NEXT WEEK! i cant wait to start working on it again. going to finish the little bit of welding/grinding on the tubs and quarters and then start on the dash which shouldnt take more than a day. Then i guess ill start working on the front sheetmetal and when thats done ill start on the 4 link/cage which i still need to design. anyone have any input for the 4 link? should probably order some rulebooks for the cage. hrmm
