1992 Camaro RS Project Body/Paint
Hey guys so I have been pretty busy recently working on my car and thought I would post up some progress on it. A few friends and I did all the body and prep work, it is by no means perfect but a lot better then what it was. I was looking for a more presentable thirdgen to DD in the summer time. One that I was not always ashamed of taking to meets and car shows. Here's some of the pictures that I took throughout the project. Let me know what you think!
This is what I started working with...

Sanded all the surface rust down to bare metal and applied a light coat of bondo for the smooth feeling. No holes! Which was a good thing to discover!

Still sanding and priming trying to make it all look good and getting the clear off.
Installed my new hood, my old one was beat up, rusty and getting the stripes off would have been a pain! It was not easy taking them off the rear deck and spoiler.

Re: 1992 Camaro RS Project Body/Paint
Anyone tell me whats missing here?
The door moldings! I thought taking them off makes the car look much cleaner and well I just like it better, so off they came!
Car is now painted all white, going to be adding the stipes back on them as soon as they are made and the paint is fully cured. Got stuck in a light sprinkle on way home but still had to snap a few pics real quick.
This was defiantly done on a budget and done not to be 100% but 100 times better then what it was before. Questions, comments?

But nice work.
