Re: 1991 Camaro Restoration Pics

After a few months of having the silver I was really wanting a good paint job... So the work began.

I didn't really take any tear down photo's. This was all I could find. After almost 2 gallons of 2k high build primer and lots of block sanding the car got coated in Arctic white basecoat clear coat.

While the car was down I got the chance to finally install 4th gen brakes.

Re: 1991 Camaro Restoration Pics

Looks nice! How in the heck did you get 4TH Gen interior stuff to fit, attach and work in 3RD Gen?

Re: 1991 Camaro Restoration Pics

Not sure about the swapped dual snorkel air cleaner cover. All the PO was doing is sucking up hot engine air without the ductwork.
