Joes 70 Camaro - "Baby"

News flash . . . Baby undergos some major surgery !



Joe's 70 Camaro came to us for some sheetmetal work. As you can see from the pictures above, Joe has already got a lot of time into his car with all of the fine frame work that he has done.


We started to layout the interior sheetmetal. We need to get everything sealed up to keep the tire smoke out of the interior. I can't imagine why Joe is concerned about a little smoke . . . when he hits the pedal he is only going to see the sky anyway!


The interior is starting to take shape and we are now going to focus our attention on the tubs, wheel house and replacement half quarter panel. We will need to expand the wheel opening to fit the fatty tires that Joe plans to run.


We rough cut the quarter panel so that we could get a closer look at what needs to be done. We are waiting on the wheel house and trunk floors. Once they arrive, we can layout the tubs and start to expand the wheel wells.


The trunk pan and wheel house arrived. We decided to replace the entire rear panel so we must remove all of the old metal and prepare to install the new sheetmetal. Remember that you can click your mouse on each picture to get a closer look.


The half quarter was sliced at the bottom of the wheel well in the front and rear of the tire to expand the wheel well opening. This is done to allow the massive tires to fit under the quarters while making every attempt to keep the wheel opening symetrical. I think that this 70 Camaro (known by many as "baby") is going to look pretty wild!


One important thing that needed to be addressed is giving Joe access to the upper coilover shock mounts. Joe needs the ability to make adjustments depending on how the car launches. Trying to keep things simple, we designed an access panel with a single wing nut to open the access panel . . . of course, it had to be a bowtie!


The wheel tub is layed out on the driver side and the floor sections are starting to take shape. We need to trim a little bit more before we will tack in the driver side floor sections and tub. Joe . . .  we should have this done tonight (Monday ) and working on the right side.
