ok day one, strip, sand and cut out the only rust I can find "anywhere" on the car, this thing is a really clean car that just needs some clean up

after 4 days of prep and bodywork it's ready for primer

First wipe it down with Prep-All, a mild solvent that removes contaminates and sanding dust

Then it's time for Feather-Fill, it's a basically spray on bondo with primer that thickens as it cures and provides a solid base to block the car straight
I cut it about 10% with acetone so that it burns into the old paint and metal
so now it's just wait for 24 hrs and start sanding again.

a original camaro shell of a car, not running or missing running gear are 6-10k or less depending on rust and interior

when done a driver like this should bring 20-25k-ish, camaros are on the hot list these days so who knows how high they will go
