Found some replacement subframe bolts from Classic Industries. Went ahead and ordered two of them for connecting the firewall brackets to the jig I am building.

Seam Buster
Started working on removing the Firewall Brackets today. Having difficulty locating the spot welds, so I ordered a new tool that should help. Search for ‘Seam Buster’ and you will find the tool (pics below):
Should have this by next weekend and will see how well it works!
Body Jig
Decided to build my own body jig to keep the Camaro from twisting while I work on replacing the body parts. Priced the 1/8″ 2×2’s on the internet for roughly $600 and $100 shipping for 11 12′ sections. Drove down to Mcneilus steel in Dodge Center and got the same thing for about $350 (note: you can buy one on the Internet for roughly $850-$975 plus $350 shipping):
I will start on the body jig AFTER I replace the firewall brackets so I have a good mounting point.
