, I ordered a new roof skin , use to be vinal , roofs rough(bondo) , both new quarters , new cowl hood, rosewood steering wheel, all new Z/28 badges , she w
ants it green with white stripes , she has no idea I am trying to complete by the time she graduates , I bet she will be tickled , I told her I get to drive it for a while but it will end up being her car , man I might be jealous lol

That's going to be a NICE ONE!

 

[kave]

I like it!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

Hard to tell, is there a spoiler on the back? I could go for a cool rosewood steering wheel myself!

Green with a white dollar symbol on the hood............

Hope that's forest green with the white stripes. My dream car has always been the 69 Z28, forest green with white stripes...Gotta say the girl has taste...

yes it has a spoiler on front and back , they skim coated whole car with bondo, this is fine as long as you sand most of it off, this thing has spots over 1/4 inch thick ,. way too thick, I was sanding trunk lid , I couldn't believe how much bondo , I have never seen a car this thick all over , so I bought a new trunk lid , already has holes in for spoiler and the inside of lid is made for a spoiler , I like this , by the time you sand it all down you would have way too many hours in body work(not to mention a ton of sand paper) , cheaper and a lot easier to replace , I will primer old parts , tell them how thick it is and that's why the parts will be so cheap, the cowl hood is over 1/8 thick , again too much time in sanding , a new one about 140.00 the whole roof skin was only 130.00, and there will be a whole lot less Bondo when I am done , but someone will buy that hood for about $75.00,and be happy with it , me I just don't like that much filler , it cracks out , like the whole car did , but I knew this , that's why I was able to get a good deal on it, and the new replacement panels actually fit pretty good anymore , you may pay a little more for quality but the thickness of metal is all worth it , man I am ready to go home and sand some more today, just thinking about it:smile:

 

[kar_crazy]

ok she don't look like this anymore , stripped trunk , then last night I bolted new one on , allot better I need to sand passenger door , then next week we will start cutting roof and quarter panel off, oh yeah I bought a new cowl hood nice and no bondo, will post picture soon

[kar_crazy]

update on CAMARO project green machine , have all glass out ,getting ready to start cutting roof and quarters off , hope to send pictures , If I don't forget , no since in getting in a hurry , this is the one I wanted since I was 13 years old , and I broke down and bought RS grill , with hide away head lights . I love that look , and I ordered electric motors , to run the doors , the old vacuum
doors have always have had problems , ever since they came out , I was told this is the way to go , you just tie into headlights , when you turn them on poof the doors open , and I still have to order SS CRAIGERS , I love the old school 5 spoke CRAIGERS, fat tires on back not too wide , I don't want them scrubbing or cutting side walls, I hope she loves it like I will
