Looks like you had another roof welded on the car, another then that the body looks pretty good.

Actually that is a factory seam. The rear area between the roof and the quarter was known for the filler needed to smooth it out.
There are few spots that need attention, but it will be worth it. 🙂

My dad and I did the restoration ourself over 10 years ago. I hate doing bodywork, so hence having a shop do it for me.
I’ll reassemble since I have done it 5 times already and can do that in my sleep 🙂

My Camaro was spared getting picked up in the tornado. It was just getting loaded onto the flatbed and the first drop of rain came. Massive downpours the entire way back to Tonawanda. As soon as it came off the trailer, the rain stopped and the sun came out. WTF.
Moved it from the soda blaster in the tornado to the paint shop.
Soda blasting it is probably one of the best things that could have been done for prep. No aircraft stripper than can come back to haunt you late and no harsh abrasives. :tup: :tup: :tup: to Jesse from Blast Off.

That’s OK 🙂 Hey there are a few out there for sale that you can do the same thing on. I have owned this one for I think 13 years and got it when it was cheaper. Then again, I have and am put a lot of $$$ into it.
I really want to drive it later this season. Badly!
I’'m going to the paint shop tomorrow to check it out and post more pics tomorrow.
