cool, I'm in Cheektowaga. It looks like a great project you have there. it'd be a shame to take it apart again after all the paint and body work that went into it.

Any issues with the different contour at the front of the sail panels between the camaro and ‘bird (the bird has a sharp front edge, the camaro has a curved edge)?
you need to weld the bracing on the interior of the car as well, not the just skin on the outside. if you don't weld the bracing, like in the pictures on page one, the car will have a ton of flex and the paint will eventually crack among other bad things.
