71SSclone Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks Dan and Willie. She is coming along. Stopped by last weekend to check on progress, they were refitting the 1/4's in prep for finally welding into place. I feel this is a major milestone! Yeah!! Didnt take in pics because I being talked into another purchase, but declined. It was a 67 Camaro convertible. Restored 20 years ago and barely driven since. 327/AT. SS emblems but couldn't verify if it was a real SS. Real nice looking car, maroon with white interior and top. I'm itching to get another old car that runs and drives now, because I feel the Monte is going to take at least another year to get finished. I'm actually looking for a Buick GS. I've always loved Buicks since I was a kid, and had quite a few back in the day. John 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71SSclone Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Not much to report, but progress is still being made. Finishing up some cowl rust repair, and rust repair underneath the trunk lid. Looking at maybe spraying the trunk with a lizard skin type of material. The pic is of the interior of a 67 C10 that they just did. I think it looks good, and it can be painted to match the trunk splatter paint the factory used. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71SSclone Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 It's been quiet in here, but work is getting done. Got an update yesterday, 1/4's are welded, roof skin going on Monday, 1/4's, doors, rockers, and under the trunk pan are all ready for final primer and paint. He is looking at getting it all painted in the early fall. Great news!!! Pics to follow John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Stopped in today to see the progress. Roof skin in welded on, and they are working on getting it ready for paint. Just dropped all the trim so it can be fitted before painting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71SSclone Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 One thing they noticed is that the body line is a little more crisp on the drivers side AMD 1/4 panel compared to the NOS passenger side 1/4 panel. They said they can sharpen up the body line on the NOS 1/4 panel to match the AMD 1/4 panel. Glad it was noticed now before paint 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I keep writing checks, the great work will continue. There is no way that I could do this myself. Lol I do need to search out some parts. GM wheel arch moldings, headliner kit, lower door molding clips, etc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Wow, didn't realize its been 4 months since an update. It's still being worked on. All the trim was fitted, and all panels were bolted on and aligned. All gaps were check and adjusted. Everything is looking good. Now its taken apart again, with lots of guide coats and block sanding to get it perfect. I removed the dashboard, so they can coat the floorboards and firewall. Its coming along nicely and is real close to getting paint!! Pics to follow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
