Wheels are Fikse Profil5s 18x12 rear and 18x8 front (for now). I didn't plan on the Speedtech subframe in the beginning, so I will probably get the front widened later (since it can now accept up to 10").

Update.
Quick update. The body and jambs are stripped. The body panels were reinstalled and are being lined up to check the gaps. I think we have decided to extend the top of the front fender to match the door lines. That will also mean less of a gap to fill were the bottom window chrome would be (going with the flush glass) on the pillar.

Maybe some WD40 and a scotchbrite pad?Rod Keeling

not trying to jack...i've got a project truck in my garage that's been sitting for almost two years and some of it's bare still and i've seen no rust on it yet and the garage has the washer and dryer in there too and the dryers exhaust wasnt' connected for most of that...guess it depends on where you live as to how the air reacts to the steel...just dont touch it with bare hands...oils from fingerprints rust mucho rapido...

No problem. Yeah, I was at the shop yesterday and touched a little area on the fender and roof. Brad told me that those two spots would rust over night (fingerprint oil), if they didn't go back over it. He also had heard that HotRod's by Troy has someone do the "WD40 and Scotchbrite thing" once a week to keep all of their "bare" cars looking good. Originally Posted by railin93

Sweet Ride
I just can look with amazement how nice this car is. Even in bare metal. I have a 67 camaro that is waiting to be rebuild but still doing my homework on how to this. Still gathering info around on the web and i just bought a 68 camaro. This one is driving so i will be doing some body work for now and when i have all info i need i will be restoring this one allso. Your car looks amazing. I live in Curacao (Caribbean) so we don't have all the materials and shops you guys have. So to get it like yours is going to take several years. Hope to get mine as nice as yours. Thank you fo sharing and keep us posted.

Hopefully it will be painted by mid-November. I plan to buy/install my intake and cam pkg before then, so that the engine will be ready too. Then plumbing, wiring, etc... I am still waiting to decide on the interior route. If I send it to who I want, it could take an extra month+ there. The finish date will determine where this car will be next year. We'll see.
BTW - Thanks for the comments, guys. I appreciate the feedback.Rod Keeling
