I wanted to make a start on the passenger side of the cab, and as I couldn’t get to it decided to move the workbench and all the other junk to the right hand side so that the truck could go over there too. I moved the cab back into the right position and bolted it down temporarily before pushing it outside for the first time in a long while. The ’55 is away having the frame repaired after a minor accident, so the Camaro has been indoors in the dry.

The first job I tackled was a nice easy one to get out of the way. I don’t like the louvered vent on the passenger side, so after taping the shape, I cut it out and set about making a new flat one. The wrecked hood got cut up again to give a new panel, and after a bit of careful bending and shaping it was tacked in. After an hour or so of filling in the gaps and waiting for it to cool it was ready to sand down. The blue line at the top of the pic is where the cowl joins the pillar, you can’t see the join on the panel. Well happy with how it came out, and really beginning to enjoy it when it goes right for once.
