Just a rough mock up. Some of the Camaro pipes are bent really close to what I need.

Still crazy after all these years!
Seems like everyone on the site has a medical issue lately. Hope you are doing well. I like your no nonsense build style. Going to be a cool car.

We are all getting older. I think the surgery was a success no more shoulder and arm pain from nerve compression. Still some soreness and tingling. No stenuous activity for c at least 5 more months.

I see I'm not the only one that uses HF "budget" car dollies.

They work great for the chassis.

Agree, what's wrong with the roof?
Having owned it 49 years it deserves to be painted. No rust for this one!

Been able to work on the car a little bit at a time. As long as I have a pillow when I'm working under the car my neck is fine.
Been doing the really boring stuff cleaning the under sides so I can get this back on the frame. It's actually pretty clean for a 68 year old car.

Painted the back quarter with a rust converter. I'm going to paint underneath with epoxy primer then undercoat.
I got more grunge on me than the car! Good thing I had proper PPE!
