Re: my project(frequent updates):)

heres the rear plastic panels in my trunk that i got sick of looking at because of all the scratches and stuff, plus they were faded tan and black so they were quite ugly, so i restored them to a nice shiny black

and the new GM shifter knob i just got in

Re: my project(frequent updates):)

It's looking real good man, I'm doing the samething to my 92 RS, and I'm doing my interior first. Eh, and a motor swap, but I'm doing it slow as well. I do a little everynight when I get home, and I'm at the point where the interior doesn't smell like a standing puddle of water, my wife even goes for rides in it now lol.

Re: my project(frequent updates):)

Not real clear, but it shows some of the interior. I've stripped by Camaro down six ways from Sunday so if you need anything let me know.

Holy crap, that's an awesome Z! Was the door molding for that car taped on or did you paint over the rivet holes? I usually don't like the gray gfx on the early Zs but those look sweet. Hopefully my car will look that good when I get around to restoring it.
