69 camaro called wicked impression

No its a old wire feed with no gass or flux core the welds are only to hold it in place I will take it to the local shop to have it all done the wright way

[robertjra]

Has anyone done this on there frame I would love to see how you did yours

[robertjra]

Still working on the frame getting it ready for the powder coat has anyone put the frame on the body with out any bushings and if you did tell me everything.

When you remove all the sheet metal like you did, what do you use for a reference?

I assume the panels just don't fall into place, where do you take measurements from to make sure it is square?

Thanks for the info.

[robertjra]

you have to bace it all up before you take any thing off on the inside of the car when its time to put it all back on every thing just gets clamped into place loose and all the gaps are cheked before anything is welded you have to put the doors on and the trunk everything has to be inplace

So you actually welded some angle iron or the like to maintain the "shape" and use for reference?

[robertjra]

ya its more of a brace but the inner structure is very strong but the main thing is to put all the body panels on without welding and fit it all so you can tweak things and move stuff around. the pic's i have don't show the brace that good but if you go to some of the other builds on this site you can see it better.

I commend you on your guts to dive in. Looks like you've got a handle on the mechanical side of things....

Sorry.... in advance... sorry.... but it GRATES (as in to chew/knaw/grind into bits) on me when you don't use the GREAT feature called SPELL CHECK... a random forgotten letter or misspelling... that's cool, we all get excited.

Please, if this thread grows the way I really hope it does & we can all see the GREAT results... use the spell check on your posts...
