body rust
I need some help. The rust in a couple of areas of my Camaro need repair. Under the spare tire panel and at the rear of the front fender where it attaches to the body. I need pictures of these areas in order to fabricate pieces to weld in. If anyone has their fenders off I need a look see straight on and from below, same for the spare tire panel.
The lower rear quarter section you see will be replaced as will the front fenders. The issue is that where they attach to the body is also rusted. In my area in Quebec and eastern Ontario we dont see 3 Gen Camaros in wreckers, just dosnt happen, good for Camaros bad for guys like me with hopes of a good restoration when they dont make reproduction parts required. So I need to fabricate pieces myself as you can see in the picture from the underside of the spare tire panel. Where the rear of the front fender attaches to the body it is also rusted out beyond recognition in front of door. Pictures will help me assess the problems better. Rest of the car body is in fairly good shape.
Any help would be appreciated. Email me direct with pics if you can. globb@295.ca

Re: body rust
