Project: "Backyard Camaro"

[senor_camaro]

I mean more modern as a better clutch disc and pressure plate. for 650 its a good deal.

[senor_camaro]

time for an update, finally got the T56 together

[senor_camaro]

after attempting to patch the roof I decided to not mickey mouse any corners and just put a new roof on, chop chop time





A quick trip to Classic industries and bingo were in business

[senor_camaro]

I got the roof support sections sanded, primed, and painted prior to test fitting the new roof skin

[senor_camaro]

sometimes rebuilding a car from scratch and removing parts reveal hidden treasures such as this one, more rust :( now I gotta patch up the dash section

[senor_camaro]

moved on to the trunk area to fix some more extensive rust

Senor Camaro,

Hey neighbor, your doing the lords work there, keep it up. That Camaro has had a hard life.

[senor_camaro]

for sure tell me about it, the more I dig in the more problems I find but I guess thats the nature of the hobbie, lol. So far im loving the build.

Before you weld that roof on get a 48 inch wide roll of foil back insulation and lay it up there and trim to fit. I got a roll from JCW a while back. Helps with roof flex too when doing body work.

Hey - it's still cheaper than calling Dynacorn for a new body, right? It's looking good!

[jimzilla]

Wow I thought mine was in bad! You have courage. Good job and Great post!

[senor_camaro]

finished up installing the trunk, now I just have to grind down the welds, not bad for just flex wire






old quarter out, other quarter goes in









Man I really need to install those parts, my back yard is looking like an autozone



everyday I get closer and closer

[senor_camaro]

Hey senor camaro, great work, keep it up! If you wanna see some magnificent work, look for a thread named "twin torinos" its on this site. You might get some ideas like I did. I'm currently restoring a 73 z28 n I got so many ideas from those guys. Hope to see you driving by SFS soon.

[senor_camaro]

I just have a passion for rebuilding something from nothing. I watch alot of overhauling and rides, alot of browsing thru peoples posts as well, this site is very motivational in inspiring ideas. for sure man, Im gonna track the crap out of this car. I actually picked this car up in santa fe springs for 500 bucks at a bodyshop

[senor_camaro]

check out the new ace in the sleeve, debating on whether or not to step up my fab skills, gutting the leafs, solid rear, and shocks would lighten the rear a bit more and allow me to use full coil overs with an independent rear suspension.
