well it looks like it will keep you busy for a while

 

Good luck with the project.

 

lookin good man keep it up!

 

thanks guys, ill keep you guys updated, dam, i didn't think their was going to be this much rust lol. o well ill do the best with what i have got. It won't be perfect but thats just floors and inner wheel wels, you won't even see these

 

looks like a fun project I love how you used the hood of a lawn tractor for the floorboard lol hey whatever works looks like you have a lot of work on your hands, but it looks like your on the right track keep us updated

 

Hey thanks man, hey do any of you guys know what i can use to seal up my welds? I aint a pro welder, if anything i sure suck at it but i am sure they will hold. I don' want any water to get inside, what can i use? I head that some guys used pitch (stuff the use to seal roofs) but i don't know, an idea's or know what the factory uses?

 

Primer and paint.

 

Updates are a coming, floors are completely welded up and patches are done, the wheel hub is also done, floors have been primed and are ready for paint. Just waiting for my friend to bring over his camera so i can add the pics to my pc. Now for pain't i have no clue whats the best stuff for a floor, what would u guys recomend??? I heard some guys tell me to use rocker guard but i don't know, just tell me what you'd guys use for this job, note the welds aren't even close to perfect, and i really like to put something thats thick so it can go everywhere, id rather do the floors by brush so i can put some thicker, besides no one will see this at all after the carpet is back inside. I just want it to last longer

 

Id get the bedliner and put that in. Herculiner is like $45 (Don't Quote me) at walmart for a gallon or Something. When i finish my floor all im going to do is completely herculine the whole floor of the car then stap the carpet over it. Im also going to put it in the wheel wells because when i fixed some rust in there i primed and painted it but all i had was gray paint and primer... So id rather it be diffrent colors and not rust. But im going to go threw and completely cover it once i get done. Plus its tough so im not going to chip it driving on dirt roads... Which is a good thing... The girlfreind lives on the worst stretch of dirt road in Michigan. I sware ive taken my truk through feilds after they had just been plowed and they are smoother then this road.

 

Por 15. It'll seal and protect from future water penetration, unlike paint that can get rubbed through. Por 15 is MUCH stronger.

 

ITS BEEN UPDATED!!! check it out
I know it don't have to do with bodywork but its finally running and goes forward and backwards lol, well at least when their's oil in the tranny. Check the video on the site out <LINK http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2666563>THE

 

Dude... was the rust patched with an old toolbox you had laying around...?

 

NO NO NO come one give me a bit more credit than that man, i used a lawn tractor hood LOL!, thrust me, it will have to be sitting for 20 years in a hey field for it to rust, its so thick

 

 

i congratulate you on your work man.

alot of people would see those rust holes and would part the car out or junk it.
what your doing shows patience and dedication , where many people would give up.

your saving another camaro.

what did you use to cut out the rust ?

 

well, i used mostly the grinder, and a saw s'all but thats only where it was the worst, i used a drill and brush and brushed all the rust off and then primed and put down a thick coat of trem clad or as you might call it, rustoleum. It took me about 1 week and a 1/2 of work just to do the floors, they ain't perfect but hey it should pass inspection, and besides no one will see them, i ain't doing the outside hillbilly style like this lol. I don't know if you checked it out, but the one my other rides on car domain, the sunfire, well the whole back part was redon all by my self, first body job i ever did, and i did with spray paint and filled with primer, lol. No one never even thought i did a body job on it so i guess i didn't do that bad of a job, i spent a week on that car. Hopefully me camaro will end up looking nice at the end of it all, i plan on painting either rhapsody purple, or i also have to do my 4runner, and it might go the same red, and top black, a nice 2 tone on both lol, they'l be twins!!
