Thought I might show you fine third gen folk, some pictures of my acomplishments, I'll take some more tommorow but here are a few of the rear bumper I painted and installed today. Bolt by bolt, peice by piece, nickle by nickle but surely I will get there and have my camaro done!! enjoy!


Old Original Bumper






The process





old bumper (Threw it away)

 

Sanded/Painted/ Used Bumper

New bumper sittin on top of the LT1








Restored Hood from a 1983 1LE



Used a rattle can so it doesnt look that nice :-p


Front Bumper Cover that I will start working on tommorow



Painted the Headlamp Holding Assembly


And this is inside my car.. I know im missing the vent cover, I have it just been to lazy to put it on

 

Installed the hood today, i'll pose the pics tommorow!

 

looks like you have your hands full, good work thus far!

 

isn't that hood nice? i've got one on my car as well, though mine is functional and is now a lift-off hoods. the factory supports where cracking and i wanted to shed weight and have easier access to the engine...

 

how are you going to keep the satin finish from getting ugly again?
needs red tail light mod.

 

cover up those holes on the intake, don't want a lot of dirt/dust in there.

Looks like fun. Working on multiple projects at once to complete something is a rush. It's a lot more fun when you get done though.

 

Simple soultion and thanks for asking, before I sanded down the whole body and just sprayed black primer, Now this time I not only used black primer, but for paint I used FLAT BLACK which keeps its satin color longer than black primer also once I get all the body parts in I will sand down the whole body again and primer it and paint it flat black and then clear coat it... again this is only temporary and will get a real paint job once the DRIVE TRAIN is completely set up to fit my need for speed.

 

i used a flat black paint.. and sprayed it.. it never faded.. of course was temporarly.. it gave that intimidating look to it..

 

Some more stuff to show you all!!

Heres a couple pics with the hood on... at not so good angles sorry about that, Don't worry Im going to go over that hood again.. it looks kinda like a zebra or something.





Sanded down the hood with 400 grit sand paper? what number should I use for urathane plastics?





Some interesting facts I found on the bumper! that bumper is from a 88 camaro and is going on my 91 camaro




Had to move my Engines to make room...



Since I put my new hood on, I cant use my dual snorkel air cleaner since it wont close properly with it on so im selling it!!! anyone wanting to buy this please PM me
