This is just a street/show car so I don't find it necessary.

Thank you. The body shop is almost done. Then I have to take it back home and work on the interior over the winter.

A few other significant things:
1. The car is a 1991. The same year this car was shown at SEMA.
2. SEMA 2016 will be the 25 year anniversary of this car being shown.

Back from the body shop today. I wish it was sunny out so you could get the full effect of the purple.

It's starting to look like a car again. I painted every gray part with Color Coat interior paint and almost every black part with SEM Trim Black. It looks like new.

Update: After a long search for material for the seats I caught a break. I'm a fan of Vaughn Sports on Facebook, manufacturer of NHL goalie pads among other hockey equipment. They posted this picture of some new pads on their Facebook page.



My friend's parents own the company and they were nice enough to sell me some material. Custom seat covers are now in the works. I ordered some cloth manual 4th gen Camaro seats from Hawks.

Details, details, details.





Seat upholstery is in process. It shouldn't be long now.

Steering wheel, shifter ****, and parking brake handle are on their way back to the USA from Caravaggio in Canada. Pictures soon.

The steering wheel, shift ****, and parking brake handle just got back from Caravaggio in Toronto. Ferrari-quality work as usual.


PS. I don't know why the image keeps getting rotated by vBulletin. It's straight in windows and in the attached thumbnail.

Re: 1991 Camaro Z28 1LE resto-mod project
That looks nice, I've been trying to find someone to restore my steering wheel, my X-wife with long fingernails used to scratch at it while driving the car and ultimately destroyed the finish on it so I bought a repro wheel which was molded rubber UGGGHHHH it looks better but not right. Do they have a website?

http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com It doesn't say anything about Camaro parts on there. They mostly do Corvettes. They can do anything you want though. Just call and ask for John. Tell him you saw Jason's Camaro steering wheel and he'll give you a price. They are not cheap, but that level of quality never is. They are currently doing a complete interior for a 2010 Dodge Challenger we're building for SEMA.
