Project "Redfire" 69 Camaro

[redfire69]

So I've finally made some real progress on Redfire, so I'd thought I'd share some pics of the metal work. I'm attempting all the metal work myself which includes new everything. I'm concentrating on getting back to a roller before working on the suspension and drivetrain. Ron

Here's the new inner quarter replacement on the pass side. This $70 panel saved me at least day of fabbing



re-skinning the pass door, the goodmark skin fits good. The door fitting on the car is different story.



and here's some pics of the DSE closeout and blower motor smoothing. I welded the DSE using rosets (sp?) from behind to keep the outer lip intact.

Here's the back-half mocked together with the poor fitting deck lid. I'm going to try the original as it measures anywhere from an eighth to a quarter wider!!!

Looking good man. Keep it up

Great start!! Looks good

Thanks guys!! I forgot to include some pics from last month when I installed the new goodmark speaker shelf which actually installed without a fight! It goes from the back seat to inside the trunk and includes the weather strip lip. Its a new stamping from goodmark and its a pretty nice peice. Mine was all cut up from some speaker-crazy previous owner.

A little update. Inner/outer rockers, inner WWs, toe pans, full floor pan installed. The GM inners WWs fit great.

Hey man how come you didn't go ahead and mini tub it?

[redfire69]

So it's been I while I haven't posted. Just now perfecting the measurements on the back half and going to *finally* weld it up. Also need to pull the roof panel first. I'm foregoing the minitubbing for now. Here's a couple pics of the MD valance mock up:

I just got my vent delete CF cowl from Anvil. This peice is so nice, I almost don't want to paint over it.

Any pictures of the dash install? I think I have to do that next myself.

[redfire69]

Upper dash hasn't been welded in yet. I'll take some pics when I do. Pretty easy job, just leave enough of the old dash to overlap for roset welds. On the cowl you just need to grind out the spot welds to free the dash from that side.

Any pictures of the dash install? I think I have to do that next myself.

I was wondering where you purchased your custom front valance from?

Directly from Marquez Design, it does require some trimming on the rad support bracket and eliminates some of the bumper brackets:

Redfire- In your first pic at the top- the inner quarter panel, ($70), where did you find that? Thanks Chris

Hey Chris,

Got your PM, but I'll post the link here for those searching. Rick's First Gen has them, looks like the price went up to $83.
