We are now down to the last 10 days. Factory seams were cleared of lead and all window channels cleaned, DTM was applied to bare metal while Mark works on other body panels.

The car had a few visible dents in it. Top of left fender,right quarter panel and a prev repair on the left QP.
One that surprised us both was one on the roof. The windshield appeared to be the original yet this old dent was there.

Last week Mark focused on the doors and fenders, all were rust free and both doors were free of any dents.










That’s where we are as of today, more photos to come as the remainder of the body gets prepped.

First time I've seen this thread and it is very interesting. The undercoating you referred to earlier appears very similar to what is on my '67 LOS car. The extension panel having some rust is to be expected, but what really caught my eye was all the "extra" holes in it and the right quarter panel flange. Wondering what that is for. My extension panel across the bottom was mostly non-existent, so I have no idea if it had those too. My original quarter panels don't have the extra holes. I like seeing the gobbed up braze in the corners too. I'm trying to replicate that, but it is a smoother application. My bodyman just laughs at me and said I should plug all those joint gaps with seam sealer and move on, but he was production for 50 years and doesn't understand how to slow down and preserve/replicate original detail.

The dent in the roof MAY have been done at the factory and repaired there. I worked at a Ford factory in St Paul for the 1972 model year and it was amazing the freak accidents that happened and were butchery "fixed", painted and sent to the dealer. If only they could talk. As I remove 4 layers of paint and gallons of high build primer from mine, it appears it was used in a demo derby in a past life... Yours is pristine in comparison, congrats...

Latest progress was getting the doors done in DTM, then work on the Left quarter. Prior damage was starting to show, paint was scraped off with a razor blade, then ground down.

Hi Paul, I am following along. I know that you had been looking forever for a Camaro in this color. So glad you found one!
