Thanks guys. Been waiting 3 years for this to happen. Feels sooo good. I do have the toe board replacements to go in, once I'm happy with the floor. One step at a time.

Started this thread as a carry over from back at it. Been taking my time but moving forward. Got the last piece of the old floor, quarter panel braces out. Patched the inner rockers. Did more of my auto topsy in the trunk and tail pan. I knew it was going to be bad, had already bought patch panels,trunk braces and trunk drop downs. I'll have to make panels for the tail. Spend sometime this weekend getting the new floor in. Still have work to do fine toning it then I'll weld it in place. Can't believe its in.

Sorry to say it guys, the car's really green not black.

At a show here in oshawa two first gens. Both 72's. Green one is a club member,name is Ron. If my memory is correct. Didn't meet the owner of the other one. Second biggest show here, right behind autofest. Always a great turn out of cars. Something for everyone.

Bought the floor pan with all the braces welded in. Remind myself every day to take it easy. My wife Mona says I have to. She's not done with me yet.

Sorry didn't load in order.

It's been 10 weeks since my heart attack. Past my stress test, blood work all normal. Will be going back to work in 2 weeks. Started to clean the rear end. Have the floor cut out. Bits of bracing removed. Inner rockers cleaned up. Next onto the toe board area. Then put in patches to prep for the new floor. Been waiting along time for this. Feels good

Thank you everyone. Feeling better every day. Putting together a plan that works for everyone.

Thanks guys. Right now my car body is sitting on a cart waiting for the new floor. I've spent years collecting parts and was ready to get going. Then I started having back issuses. Turns out my L4 and L5 are shot. Took a year and half to sort it out. I was really looking forward to this spring to get back at it. Then wednesday the 19th I had a heart attack. Not a big one but still a heart attack. Thursday they put in a stent. Friday I came home. Now I'm sidelined again. When my nephews found out they both have step up to build my car for all the things I've done for them since their dad passed. I know my brother would be so proud of his boys. Now I'll teach them everything I know as we go along. Even my neighour is in. Said its for all the tools and advise I've given him to build his 80 firebird.I'm not only lucky to be alive but blessed to have people like this in my life Gs

My plate is year of make

Brendan you can paint the roof and put the trim back. Like the two tone cars. Saw this one while out for a walk .

Wow what a change. Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing it when your done. Keep the pics coming.

It looks like 70 chevelle seat covers.

Brendan like you I had limited knowledge and skills for metal fab and bodywork. Luckily for me there's a trades college not to far from where I live, that offers a 1 year part-time autobody coarse. Signed up and surprised myself, I really enjoy doing it. Finished the coarse with a grade of 96. Tied for highest mark in class. 0ldest person in class (58 at the time). Maybe there's something like that around your area. Never worked with fiberglass before so very interested in following .

Just wanted a price. Doing a cowl hood is way, way far away. By then I'll have done so much fab and welding, I should be able to make my own.
