This is the new version of a Z-11 "lightweight"Hey Dennis keep the picture's coming when your car is tore up and apart. We like picture's!!!!
All gaps and body measurements and adjustments were done with the doors, fenders and deck on the body. Body was braced as you see before panel removal. This puppy is gonna be new and totally rust free.
What a project this has turned into!!!
Kinda looks familiar to me. Glad I'm past that point on my '63.

Spot welds cut out today. Interior panels DA'ed and to be epoxy'ed before replacement panels put on. There is some green primer that looks very similar to aircraft primer on the interior panels. Where this primer was applied, there is no to little oxidation. (that's rust ,Phil). Was this green primer used on all GM cars of this era??
Scary to see what's really under the paint!!!
Lots of metal fab to be done!!

That's what I thought.......but I knew you would have the answer!!
Did Chevy use on all autos in 63?
Birdcage.....Never heard that term in car restoration before.
It was fairly common on inner panels that didn't get paint.
When ever I see these car's in this form, I often think what it would have been like working in those factories where you really liked the car and got to be a part of building them. It would have not seemed like work to me ,but a lot of enjoyment???
Looks all business!!! 
Those rocker arms look very nice Dennis. It's really coming together now.
