got the driver and passenger inner quarter repaired over the last few days. haven't had much time to work on it this week but still feel pretty good about what i got done.
passenger side cancer and someones attempt to fix it.
new panel in place ready to weld.
welded in
finished
really old picture of the drivers side but you can see there wasn't much left.
driver side mocked up
ground and sanded
and thats all for the rust in the back of the car. the only thing thats left on the rust repair dept. is lower windshied.

haven't worked on the car in over a month now. had some things going on but they have settled down so i can get back to work on the car. started earlier this week with some parts i picked up at jegs and goodguys. this covers everything i did this week after i got home in the evenings.
since i didn't have a lot of time during the week i knocked out a lot of small projects i wanted to get done. got the drivers body mount access filled.
and cut some rust out and called it a night.
then i bent up some 18g sheet metal and fixed the driver tulip that had some cancer. this was my first time using a shrinker so i'm pretty happy with how well it come out.
then some more parts showed up
got the hard part of running the hard brake line done.

So now that I'm back to work on the Camaro I am updating this thread. I'll start with oldest to latest.
First I got the passenger front inner fender modified to fit the 295's without rubbing.
Then I built bushing ends to a poly bushing and modified the SpeedTech transmission crossmember.
[imghttp://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/380748_10151498015720277_537465276_23599707_492869 61_n.jpg[/img]
After that I filled the corners at the rear window since I deleted the package tray.
And then I shaved the drive and passenger drip rails
And lastly I scavenged at the junk yard and picked up a mirror, home link with map lights and venture van door latches.
Mocked up the new latch mount
Passenger door done
Then mocked up the striker
Filled the stock striker hole and the vent.

Got the drivers door latch done yesterday night.
After a lot of measuring and test fitting floor mount pedals it just wasn't worth the time and effort to get the pedals to fit right AND be comfortable in the seat. I said screw it and decided to modify the stock 4th gen camaro pedals. as it turns out it was easier to do than i thought it would be. Still have to mount the clutch master cylinder and gas pedal.
brake and clutch pedal mocked up
Power brake booster mounted
Engine set so far back the brakes are almost next to the alternator
Pedals modified to accommodate the seat moved back.
Hoping to have the gas pedal mounted tomorrow.

master box mounted
pedals done. modified a '57 chevy gas pedal. not sure why the clutch pedal looks funny in this picture.
