HI John-

I'm glad you were able to comment on this- (Your vid is on my Xmas list)

I split the panel in two, with the sharpest curves on the front half, and the lower front on there as well. There may not have been enough to "borrow" from and it may have reached its limit after being pressed at the factory as well. The small end on the baseball bat mallet was what I normally used to stretch, and I'd whack a dent in it, whack another next to it, and the first walnut would almost disappear. I'd finally get some stretch to it, and then, it would go away once it hit the E Wheel. Weirdest thing I ever saw.
Palm nailers are pretty easy to come by, but my compressor won't push that much air for very long. My tax return will be funding a 220v line and a new comressor this january.

Default 4th gen cam

Im new to this site and ran into your thread. No prior body work experience but I am in the early stages of a face lift on a 93 trans-am.
Back half is fully tubbed out w/ a 4-link setup. Front and rear body panels are what Im working on which led me to this site. Interested to see how you will tackle that camaro. I wonder how that will tied into the spoler section of the fender. Hoping you the best. ScottPicture.jpg

Four link in the rear? I'd be interested in pics of that setup.
The spoiler will be put on top of the stock Camaro spoiler- If you go back to the early pics in this thread, look at the blue car- I suspect a T/A will be more of a whale tail, but mine will be a traditional style. I'm still working on the passenger side, and then I'm going to lop off that abortion on the driver's side, since I'll never be happy with it unless I get it right. More pics coming this week.

I love the front end.. Putting Z headlights on that looks really clean. What are you going to do with all that space below the headlights?
