Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
James, Your metal work is second to none! I hope you won't mind me asking a million questions when I start on one my Camaros. I haven't ever worked on the sheetmetal on one. If you were a few miles closer I would come by and help you too.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
Mike, thankyou. I do not mind questions at all, i try to help anyone i can. I wish that i had friends up here that were into this stuff like me, but i do not. I have dreamers, the truth really is, all of you on here are my friends. I do not know any of you personally but i feel like i do. Anything i could do for help i will. I got one friend that likes cars, but has no clue about them really, he jsut dreams. Later James

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
Well, went out tonite and got a little more done. Finished up the left rear door jamb and rocker to quarter panel. Oh, i also seemed to warp one litle spot on this side also, same darn spot. AAAAArrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh. Got a little bored also and sanded the quarter down some. Tomorow nite i will finish off the roof joint and some on the rear. Couple more days and the shell wil be near completion, then a sand-a-thon. get her all shiny and primed. All I can say, I am finally enjoying doin this again. Love it. BTW guys, i can do a dress-your-metal sticky if you want. give me a couple days. i use .23 and .35, right now .35, it is what i have but .23 is better to use. ran out of the other and i have a huge roll of .35 to use up.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
James,
Do you plan to do away with lead for the sealing at the top of the quarter? You just going to fab a metal insert to take the place? thanks, |

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
So i went out for a couple hours tonite and did a bit more. Replaced a piece at the bottom of the rear window. Cut it out and then made a new piece and used my shrinker to get the curve right, clamped her in and welded away. Once that was done I cleaned up the top Qtr to roof seam and rear window well. Once that was all done i broke out the sander and got down to her and sanded some more of the side. Looking so nice.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
That thing looks great! Thanks for the tip on the filler too. The reason I asked, I saw on an episode of Hot Rod tv where they melted out the lead and used a tig with a strip of sheetmetal to fill.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
So Mel and Harleigh went home for the weekend, and that left me here all alone, well what am i gonna do, Work i guess. Like that is a hard secision for me. Spent a fair amount out in the shop so far. I got quite a bit done so far. More to come yet tomorow. Well, i got the rear tailpan all cleaned up and ground down, test fitted the trunk lid and for the most part the gaps are good, but one minor dilemma. I am gonna have to rework how it sits on the car. A little high around the edges and a little low in the center, nothing too major just a little work. Once that was done i got the weatherstripping rails welded in and that is done now.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
After i got the weatherstripping rails in, i had to reinstall the quartere somethings back into the car. Not even sure what they are called. Put my seam sealer on them and then clamped them in and welded away. Cut out the bottom rear section of the back window and replaced that too. ONce i got that all done i sanded the remaining quarter panel and rocker down. Looking good so far. After all that sanding of the ep primer i turned out black head to toe, i came into the house and my dog kinda shyed from me for a second.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
After i got all that done i set the car back up on my rotiesserie and started sanding the roof. OMG was that stuff thick on there. Painted a few times. I liked the yellow under the first yellow. Anyways I swear that i took 3 lbs of paint off of there and uncovered a few more dents than what i wanted to find but whatever, jsut have to get those straitened out now. Then i broke out my trusty grinder and pic tool and used a little elbow grease and cleaned up the drip rails of all the old seamsealer so it will have fresh stuff in there now.

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
I have to toot my horn here a little, pretty nice weld huh. I wish mine were like that 100% of the time, but the truth is they are not, but usually i do pretty good. After that i cut out the front braces so that tomorow i can replace them and finish sanding and grinding the bottom of the car. I got 1/3 of the bottom of the car sanded and maybe 1/4 ground down so far. Should have it all done tomorow. But she is getting there. Looking good. On a great side note to this, i should have the shell of the car all done tomorow, all that is left is sand the inside and get the mud to her. Oh yeah!!!!!!! And a parting shot for tinite. Later

Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone
It's nice when you have a guide for the torch, isn't it? Comes out nice and straight. Still requires some exp to make them look like that. Great project!
