Thanks, I'm glad I have the roof of the donor car to look at, it makes figuring out what metal should stay and what should go and where to cut and bend alot easier... and those tires were on the car when I bought it, I can't believe the tire didn't blow... i bet if I added 2psi it would explode...
Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..
Custom interior...

I'm glad you took my advise it makes the job a hell of a lot easer to do.
My recomendation now it to cut the metal work off the donor car and graph it onto your car. Thats what i did and the results where amazing.:bowdown:
Why would I cut from the donor and weld to my car when there's plenty of metal available on my car? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting? The factory uses a bondo-like substance to fill holes, I'll be doing the same... I'd rather use fiberglass/bondo and have to sand it, than have to cut, trim, weld, grind and then bondo and sand that as well...

It will look factory if you can excute it properly. Thats what I did.

I don't plan on making it look factory, there are too many seams and grooves and dimples from spot welds... I appreciate the input, though... I noticed one of your comments on a T-top vid I saw on youtube... lol small world...
as for tips. go slow to make sure u can get the roof skin off in one piece. then hang it on your garage wall. true converstion piece
x2. Though mine isn't hanging, I kept it so I can hang it later on. Thought about making it into a coffee table but it would be a horrible coffee table seeing as it's not flat.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
