Looks awesome man! Nice work.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Gotta keep plugging away! 👍

[@yafois988]

Having the press and roller tool-machines is a must. Lot of us don't have this so its Anvil time 'Al a Carte"

[@perrywe1]

Fantastic metal work Paradise!! Good as new. Looks too good to be covered up by dash panel. lol

[@infamousflav]

Nicely done! Thanks for putting in the effort for the video-- it looks like a lot of work. Keep up the good works. it looks like you got a few rusty Camaro owners you're inspiring (me included)!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Hey brother I’ve got the mini tubs in the fitted the floor, all the quarters, the roof. However, I just watched your video on modifications to fit Tremce transmission and we will be doing that. Check out “Trunk Monkey Rod Shop” on KZbin. Thanks again for all the great work. 🍻

Nice Metal work and looks like lots of welding work. I also love to use Steel-IT.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks 👍

[@grey1wa]

I've got a 2nd gen that's about to get started so I'm looking at all the rust repair info I can so I have some tools to work this in a sensible manner

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Awesome. Good luck with your build. I’ll keep sharing my experience/insight - hope it will help.

Thanks!

[@TheLooper0]

Good work! My lower cowl was too far gone , I’m waiting for the new one to arrive. You mentioned Princess Auto, where are you in Canada?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks! I’m in Winnipeg. You?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Where are you at on your build? Plans?

[@TheLooper0]

@@ParadiseBayCustoms Hi , I finished new floors, mini tubs, subframe connectors, removed both quarters and sandblasted the inner body framing. I’m prepping for epoxy priming that area now, while waiting for the lower cowl and still waiting on the drivers side quarter from the Camaro depot. I ordered the Detroit Speed quadralink as well so that I can install that box for the coil overs in the back. I’m still debating on the front subframe from Detroit Speed, I saw that you sure going that root. Very expensive, but why cut corners after going this far?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

@@TheLooper0 My thinking exactly! Sounds like we are on parallel paths with you out in front! Do you post/share your progress anywhere? Would love to follow along? Instagram? Facebook? I put daily updates when I’m working on the car to Instagram… This kinda stuff keeps me motivated! 😂🤪😂

[@charlespalmaccio7640]

Can you replace the lower cowl without removing the windshield?

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

No. It forms the base for the windshield. Upper cowl is simply another layer on top of lower - both forming the base of the windshield.

[@rezashakouri4970]

There is no way to stop further rust underneath of layer by layer sheet metals. Hate Full. Rust starts right after welding

[@scratchawaytechnology1488]

That's why I love the panel adhesive ..it treats the metal and bonds it so well ..no more rust !!
