Hi, my name is Blaine Meyer and I am currently living in Raleigh NC. Born and raised in NJ and moved south in 2000. I have be working in IT my entire career since graduating college.

My current and only project is the rebuild of a 1969 camaro. I have been collecting parts and working on the car for about 10 year. I am in the putting-back-together phase.

I have done 100% of the work so far and all of my skill are self taught. his is the first project that I have done major sheet metal work like roof skin, quarter panels and mini-tubs.

I have a basic HF bead roller and have experimented a bit. I made 1 panel to close off a hole in the firewall and hope to make a few more custom panels for the interior. I plan to motorize the bead roller and I have a few of the parts like the motor and a switch.
