Where do I start!?!

[Coyote187]

I have a small problem... I need to start work on my 69 camaro and I’m having trouble figuring where to start.
First off here is basic idea of what I want to accomplish. I’m putting a tri 4 bar in the rear; I’m also hanging new quarter panels. Also I’ll need to change out the upper rear panel ECT.
Now with that much body work, will it be best to have the chassis put together first or the other way around? Now the entire trunk floor will be custom built to the new rear clip.
I will be building both a chassis fixture and a rotisserie for this project and I’m not sure here to start

You only have 5 posts, get out while you still can... Leave this site now and never come back. Next thing you will know is that your house is falling down because all your money and time is spend on this board. :lol: J/k

As for your question, I cant really give you and good answer since I have not done it personally but hopefully someone that has will help you out.

just like a house..the foundation comes 1st, get the chassis sqaured away on your fixture, then have the car sitting with suspension loaded for optimal panel alignment.

lots of time, lots of trial fitting will be the key, cleco pins or self drilling screws will work wonders while trying to fit all the loose parts together....especially when replacing the entire back 1/3 of the sheetmetal.

good luck...and its not too late, sell the car and buy a bass boat...no poles, all ya need is the boat and beer.... it will be cheaper and much less headache :D

Thanks that makes sense, and the bass boat option is looking pretty good right now! :thumbsup:
