I don't mean to offend anyone... but a frame off on a 350 car?... and painted it light green? Must be a labor of love... cause that's a tight resale market.. Work looks nice.. I chuckled when I saw the RH fender hung, and not the driver... cheater, started with the easy one.. for some reason, in my experience, the RH one flies on, and lines right up, and then you spend half a day or longer trying to get the LH fender to cooperate.. Don't miss those days. JW
HA!! Labor of love for sure. Project was supposed to be "let's put a car together with all these spare parts we have around" And then.... well, while we're here we might as well... and... this piece won't look good on there now so might as well get a new one... and then........ and far as the damn right fender... fit great before i painted it. But as you probably know, paint somehow drastically warps 18 gauge sheet metal making it not fit like it did before it was painted. I'll let you know how bad the paint warped the left one in a day or two.
Left fender went in pretty well Jim. Better than the right Probably because of the the help of my assistant Rivi.
Jim, agree that it's a tight market for a 350 rag top with a restoration cost as high as this one. But, I think you would be surprised at the current popularity of that "light green" (aka Seamist Green in 1970) color. I've had my Seamist '70 GS for about 6 months and have had it to quite a few shows here in Central Florida. Won best of show at one and have had lots of people comment specifically about the color. It was the 9th most popular color out of 23 in 1970 and I think it would not suffer any in today's resale market.
A lot of the older colors fell out of style because of what they looked like on sad, faded abd tired cars. Many were gorgeous new; that’s what got GM and the customers to pick them. ‘68’s Burnished Saddle is striking when fresh, same with ‘79s Heritage Brown, but let them age and dull and you’ve got poop brown. These greens are the same-beautiful when fresh, tired after their lives as drivers. Maybe in the future we’ll like the colors we currently hate. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk01zeJX4fk3pJ8BulIiuR5uAhf4ENQ:1613831027942&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=93+camaro+teal&hl=en&client=safari&fir=zNIqdydxYeyhOM%2CnCvODTUPQxIlOM%2C_%3BHlh9B20nFEsbMM%2CP5KMShvBT5fmjM%2C_%3BqPmSSXJr3giX0M%2CT3A06uIYi7gTOM%2C_%3B2uFLwD8ls1ccUM%2CnCvODTUPQxIlOM%2C_%3BLftQZtlE7u1LNM%2CT3A06uIYi7gTOM%2C_%3BVFslrjzX_s2y7M%2CpDg9ZEIxDmnUBM%2C_%3BpRe87oD2iEMQTM%2CT3A06uIYi7gTOM%2C_%3BGOdtolD27BzIrM%2CnCvODTUPQxIlOM%2C_%7Cinch%20rims%3Bpontiac%20firebird%3Bmw%20bright%3Bemblem%3Bz28%20ss%3Bdark%20teal%3Bmystic%20teal%3Bcamaro%20driver%3Bgen%20camaro%3B4th%20gen&usg=AI4_-kTm4leMsKugSLPg7170GiG11h6H1g&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiMhpeJ1fjuAhWObs0KHe4zA0kQ7Al6BAgBEEw&biw=414&bih=622&dpr=3#imgrc=YIN7669uEN6l2M Patrick
Could be, I guess Sean will find out, assuming he does not just decide to keep the car.. that has a way of happening.. Is the market tired of Red, Blue, White and Black, and ready to get back into the groovy earth tones of the 70's? I sure hope so, I have a couple code 68 cars that need some love. JW
