68 Camaro Convertible (Resurrection)

[67speedfreak]

Here it is..
Most people would have let it die a peaceful death.
But.. being the Frankenstein doctors of metal that we are we decided to resurrect it from the grave.

But seriously this thing was rough. Someone said it couldn't be done so here goes.
All work is being performed at our shop SCREAMIN' PERFORMANCE in Sunny Merritt Island, FL

I will have a rendering soon.
I will post more info soon.

Hope you enjoy
thanks,
Brian

Give what (little) you had to work with, was any thought given to one of those new Dynacorn bodies? It seems like the car was it such rough shape it will be almost all reproduction parts anyway, just a matter of who puts the pieces together.

Awesome fabrication skills either way!!

Thanks for the compliment.

Exactly who puts it together, I would rather assemble it myself.
This way I have control over the fit and finish.

Lower A pillar repair.







Repair panel is too narow at the jam so I had to split it and weld it up.

WOW! Impressive work! I can't wait to see it finished!

[67speedfreak]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.
I'm pretty excited about this one.

We are fitting the MCC custom frame rails ,trunk and floor.

After a lot of measuring we determined the 68 trunk reproduction part is just under 3/4 of an inch short end for end.
I had to cut it and will add to it.

Also the lower section was cut out to make way for the MCC rails and 19/355 meats.

God I love this stuff. Brings back memories of when I did my 67 Camaro convertible. About the only thing I could use was the transmission tunnel, most of the other parts were from a totalled low mileage Firebird since reproduction parts weren't around yet. Keep up with the photo's. Where are you having the work done?

Great work Brian, very nice, I'll come by one day next week,

You've got some skills man, talk about building a car from scratch! Looks like you were missing a few pieces once you were done with the blasting process... ;) Great job so far, should be incredible when it's complete!
