Default 1969 Camaro Convertible at BBT Fabrication - let the extensive metal work begin

Troy, Pete and the rest of the BBT crew have had my car since the beginning of the year. This is my second pro-touring car with extensive mods. My 59 Vette was the July 2011 Feature Car. The body was bought back in 2010 from Phil at the Roadster Shop. It was the actual car they used to design the first Camaro Fast Track chassis. Attached our some preliminary renderings, I trust Troy and my eyes to make modifications along the way. I've always liked wide body Camaro's so the back is widened 4 inches. I'll post progress pics to this point over the next week or so. This will be a multi-year project so I hope you enjoy the process with me. Lateral-g has always been a great community so I thought it is my time to share.

It's nice to see you start a thread on this. Been watching the build since it was dropped off at the BBT. You told me a lot about the details at dinner when we were at Columbus, can't wait to see it finished.

Marty, you suck you can clearly post pictures faster then me. Here's 3 pictures of the major steps in the top part of the quarter panel widening. I wanted more of a wedge shape so it is widened 2 inches at the rear on both sides. You can see a much bigger pie cut out and then shaping the piece for a seamless transition.
