Re: Project "SWISS CHEESE" the 68 Camaro

1) You probably already, in a way, answered my question, but i was wondering with 67-69 maros, does the roof (in other words A and C pillars) come off as "naturally" as say the quarter panels?

Or is the "tub" generally designed to pretty much stay together as one piece? Obviously, and as shown by the floor replacement, anything can be cut out and re-welded in. But on most cars, there is a clear and definite seam where the quarter panels are welded to the body. (or are there?)


2) As a suggestion to projects of this magnitude(not nessesarily this one, but projects like it), a tube frame could be made and given to it. (This suggestion actually ties in with my question above.)

This would probably save time, energy, and money---if you can live with the rust. It would probably not come out as nice, but it would get you rolling much faster(possibly) and still be structurally safe.
