Awesome car and great work! Too bad your inner and outer wheel houses are so nice, cause they're going to be MIA soon.

They look ok in the pictures, but they had the typical rot all the way around the outer lip where they meet the quarters. Good riddance to them if you ask me.

Thanks, yes they are goodmark panels. I was honestly a little disappointed with them. They appeared to be excellent when they showed up, but once I had them mounted for test fitting, I had to make cuts, make small filler panels and weld them in to make the proper gaps on the pass. quarter and on the tail panel for the weather strip gutter. Don't get me started on the friggin rocker...

Time for more pictures.

Here's some random pictures of some mud work and how it looked before the final prime.

I got the whole car in it's second prime, basically ready to be final blocked for paint. I wanted to get this done before we started back-halving it.

Here's right after I finished cutting out the rear floor. Looks like a pretty big hole to fill.

Here's the rear tubular crossmember tacked in place.

Click the image to open in full size.

We made fish plates to weld to the inner rockers so there was a stronger foundation for the front crossmember to attach to. Bernie finished the spot welds after I took the pics.

I went to Reliable Hardware and Steel in Santa Rosa And bought a 6' long, 6" wide by 1/8th" thick piece of steel for the fish plates and this new inner rear body that Bernie fabricated. We held it in place with the bumper bolt holes, and drilled holes in the tail panel to weld them together.

Bernie notched and bent the center of the plate to clear the license plate hole, and it was the perfect amount to weld the trunk latch support to. Funny how things work out unintentionally sometimes.

We wanted to get a little more motivation early on so we put the wheels and tires on. I looks a little weird like this...

Here's the rear subframe with everything mocked up. Almost ready to disassemble it and get it in the car.

Some quick pics of when we were trying to establish the rear axle center line. The stock camaro wheel tubs left much to be desired as far as wide tires are concerned.

The drivers side didn't stick out as much because I had a DSE mini tub on that side. When I did the mini tub, I realized that the car was wrecked bad enough on the other side that we couldn't go forward with the mini tubs, which led to back halving the car 6 years later...

It took a lot of maneuvering and cutting, then notching the package tray and driveshaft tunnel to get the subfame in. But when we finally got it in, it fit like a glove.
