Re: 67 Camaro Build

Back to the Camaro. Right off the bat before it even came off the trailer Chris & Kelly (Perks Owner & Shop Manager respectively) noticed that the right front seemed to droop a little. Once unloaded a quick measurement of the core support bared this out, the panel was ¾” shorter from top to bottom on the right side. My old eyes didn’t see it at first but I did once they mentioned it.

Unfortunately, Don has moved on to other opportunities and won’t be working on the car this time. Everyone parted friends and the upside for us is getting a chance to work with Kelly (that’s him in the pics). Working for Perks Auto Body for 30 years Kelly’s developed an impressive skill set and his work is top shelf. He’s a perfectionist and the perfect guy to take over.

Here’s a quick catch up of the Camaro’s problem areas.

Right door skin window opening, (aka, the canyon)

The first thing addressed was the lopsided core support, I had another earlier aftermarket stamping that came with our parts car. That one turned out to be closer and will be the one we use moving forward. While making this adjustment Kelly double checked the prior front clip work and made any corrections that were needed.
