I am going to replace the Floor and Trunk (with One Piece panels from Tamraz's on E-bay), both Full Quater Panels, The Rear Outer Wheel Wells, both Trunk inner side filler panels ( connects trunk floor to bottom of 1/4 panel), both Rocker Panels and the Rear Panel (right behind the top of the rear bumper) on my 1972 Chevelle Coupe.
I am rather new to this hobby of building cars but I believe I have the skills and the tools, ( or I can get the needed tools and the skills) to do the job. I have been reading all the posts on Panel replacements and have looked at some of your web sites. I have looked at 71metbu's restoration on his 71 chevelle, which compares to my own project.
I would like to know what you all think the best order of parts removal and the installation of the new parts would be? The one piece floor pan from Tamraz's has the Rockers already welded on, along with the floor braces. I also have questions on removing both 1/4 panels at the same time (can it be done or just one 1/4 at a time to prevent warping)? Should this be done off the frame or on the frame? Can I get the one peice floor pan in thru the windows or from underneath without warping the body?
You Team Chevelle people have made me real excited about this and at first I was real leary about all this body work but after reading your posts I feel real confident that I can do it! So please help me come up with the best plan to remove and build these body peices.
Thanks, Marv
