Jon's 69' Camaro Project @ Holohan's Hot Rod Shop, inc

[HOLOHAN'S HOT ROD SHOP]

This project started out quite awhile ago and was started with the intent of helping a good friend of mine do this work in his garage.

Well, things progressed as usual, and it ended up here at the shop due to the severity of how bad the car was done previously.

To date I have'nt seen any project that had been done like this one. The work that was done before was strictly done in order to get it done to sell at the car lot and nothing more. The work ended up so bad that it had no structural integrity and was very unsafe.

My friend Jon has defintely been getting some education on what "not to do" and is learning what it take's to get things back to normal. Plus he has been another customer that has been very easy to work, which again makes it very nice on my end.

I'll post a quick description on some of the bad areas that were done as I post the pics.

Project specs:

--- all sheetmetal restoration

--- minor custom metal work

--- DSE front and rear suspension

--- mini tubs, sub frame connectors, partial roll cage

--- Billet Specialties 18" Boost Wheels

--- LS3 SS MAST Motorsprts engine

--- T56 Trans from Bowler Transmission

--- in house paint and body

--- Vintage Air

At first glance it doesn't appear all that bad.. good luck with it, you guys will whip it into shape:thumbsup:

[Frankenstine]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Gatekeeper]

Looks like a real nice Camaro on the before pics, but I know it will look way better when finished. :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

It looked nice in the picture and when your done it will look better and be done right. Is it going to stay silver or is it going to be a different color? With all those nice parts it should be a fun ride.

[Jay Hilliard]

Dan is not exaggerating as I saw this car after blasting. Man can paint hide alot. :_paranoid I felt bad for John when I saw it. But as normal Dan has put his metal skills to work and the car is looking great. :thumbsup:

John will have a very nice car and now safe as Dan mentioned.

[Musclerodz]

Dan told me about this car a couple weeks ago. if you thought project "PT-Blues" was bad, it don't hold a candle to this car.

[radrambler]

Seen this car when i visited Dans shop last year
OH MY THIS CAR WAS JACKED.
Insane to see what was dont to this car to make it a car to sell.
You guys would crap if you had seen it in person.
Dan has the talent to bring it back. Its def not a rookie rebuild status car.

Had I have not seen this car with my own eyes I never would've believed the story. Another unfortunate reminder of "buyer beware" when buying a "completed" car. From the pics it looks like a very nice car that would bring good money on eBay.

No worries though. With Dan on the job it will be superfantabulous by the time it is "complete" once again :D .

[tones2SS]

Should be a great build. Keep us posted.

[Autokraft]

It looks nice in the pics before you started but the story dont sound pretty :(

At some point in it's life, the entire roof, structure and all, had been cut off and replaced with a donor roof. But NONE of the structure was ever connected back together!

Is the thick gooey gray a sound deadener? If so what product is it?

I am not sure what the thinner grey one is. But the darker one looks like lizard skin. It sprays on almost a purple color but dries a charcoal black.

If I am wrong, then totally disregard my info. :lol:

[HOLOHAN'S HOT ROD SHOP]

The gooey gray is Lizard Skin and the light gray paint is POR15

Both are great products

[waynieZ]

Awesome job its coming out great! Nice work Dan.

[ChuckDriver]

Got any updates??

[Ralphlovs72chev]

[davin24]
