A HUGE Waste of Money? Chevelle Quarter Panel Install. Should I Have Bought Skins Instead?

  • In the shop today we tackle what was my least favorite part of the Camaro build- the new panels. We ordered from the same company for these Chevelle panels and anticipated we'd have to do some modifications- but we were really hoping it would go a lot smoother than it did on the Camaro. I burnt through another pack of zip-discs but now this Chevelle is started to look like a car again.

    These are the shows I love, cutting and welding making the car solid again. No one else is doing these like you. Bad Chad is cool but his are unique creations. I love to see you restore these old hot rods to a usable condition and beyond.
    Thank you Dan and thank you Dani for doing a great job recording, assisting and commenting! Great team.

      I agree completely. Building a hot rod today involves more restoration of the sheet metal than anything else. I have gained a great deal of confidence on my own projects watching Dan cut 'em up and weld 'em back together fearlessly. Danni is a great helper and provides humorous entertainment as well. She's a keeper!

    Gotta be honest with you guys. Dan keeps talking about Bad Chad and how great he is, I gave his channel a look and I think what you do is way more impressive and interesting. Dan's talents really shine thru where Chad has a whole crew of guys helping him get cars and projects out. There's no contest who's channel I would rather watch on a daily basis! You guys ROCK! Keep up the good work Dan and Danielle and one day all that hard work will pay off!

    From 1983 to 1987, I owned a 1971 Chevelle. It was the Heavy Chevy version. The real deal, not a clone. 350/350. It was in great condition, completely rust free AZ car. I wish I had kept it. I traded it for my dream car, a 1976 Corvette. That was also a beautiful car, at least cosmetically. But it was a mechanical nightmare. The more things I fixed/replaced, the more it needed. At least it seemed that way. It was my only car, and at the time I did not have a good place to work on it. I finally gave up and sold it, and bought a 1979 Chevy truck. I kept that till I finally bought a house with a garage in '94, and started collecting old cars. I still have a thing for the '70-'72 Chevelle. I will never own another one, but it's nice to see someone rebuild one.

    It is justified. In you case, you need the complete bottom part of the quarter to properly mate with rocker panel and the trunk floor filler panel. Also the bottom door jams tends to get rotted too. Then the unused upper part, you can sell to other Chevelle owners.
