Here we are going to talk about and show how i do it!I hope to be able to help others out who are in the same boat with some kind of problem or close to it as i am doing here..... Please Feel free to add you restoration projects here(Under new thread)OK to the before pics!!    You also note that the rear wheels have been enlarged, and also the taillight holes were filed out to make one big opening........ What i will be doing is grafting a whole rear clip (from USA1 Camaro f/c body). More in the next post need to grab some pictures......... |

This shot shows the back view of the body i am restoring and the donor piece i have cut out already........ Reason i cut the donor this way is to make it strong when i get it back togather.....  I left a little bit of the bottom edge were the trunk lid was so i am able to file fit everything   |

Ok heres acouple more pics........... Heres thebody all marked were i need to cut.  Cut the trunk line out first  And then using the back side of a #11 blade i cut out the door lines (easyest way to hide some of the cuts, less filler then)  Then i cut out were the wrap around will be from the piece i cut out already,left it alittle longer so i could fine tune it later on.  NOw to get a good clean straight cut i placed a piece of true straight edge held by a clamp and used the back side of the #11 blade again.  And there it is the old panels cut out.   |
