Clearly your insane ... have your people contact out people for an intervention ... LOL

Seriously, these uni-bodies F-body cars are not as easy as we would hope they are to weld together.

I've been watching this space more than 3 years and I've many projects fail. They designed these cars quickly back in the early 60's . They wanted them fast and light. If you compare my 68 F-body to my 65 Big Pontiac body you would see a BIG difference. Everything panel comes together light a jigsaw puzzle mounted on a solid frame. Sure it's a heavy car body, but you can put humpty back together much easier.
The "body frame" of F-body body is made up from the body panels themselves.

Most of the repro panels you buy today will not fit 100% so your forever trying to get a bad panel to fit in with your other good panels (typically your original body). You are now at the point of assembling your entire car based on 80-95% repro body panels.

Anyone can learn to weld and thus weld humpty back together again. But when your ready to open your doors and close your hood and truck better allow for a lot of "room for error".

Just check the net for F-body's for sale with the search terms "all panels replaced, ready for paint".
After seeing more than 30 of these ads it became clear to me that a lot of projects were failing at the "ready for paint" stage. A professional "body man" is probably been brought in to complete the project. His quote is sky high and the guy who has spent $$$ already cannot put anymore in to it because he's way over budget already.

By the way, I define "way over budget" as the point on which the wife will not tolerate any more good money thrown in for bad.

I understand why you want to save the car, I have one too. I hope to one day assemble that one as well but 2 things must happen first.

1. I have proven to myself that I can assemble one of these cars back to original look and fitment
2. Price tag for these cars go up 100%+. When $50k is the average price, my coupe get's put on the body frame.

Anyway, getting to be looking like a book ... I think you get the idea...

We love ya, and will support no matter what you decide to do. Just thought it was a good time to turn your "Check project" warning light on.
