vette guys do the color matching lip all the time with black wheels. LOOKS SICK!!

 

well she's home.....

 

and here is what i am starting with for the interior.





hopefully i can have everything out today, waiting for wife to

 

wow, that looks stunning. i like the stripe a lot.

 

my fav

 

Sharp! look forward to seeing the interior finished......

 

well i got the carpet pulled, headliner off and plastics out. i plan on sunday putting the carpet in and cleaning all the plastic, to include shampooing the carpet on the plastic panels. here is how nasty the carpet was.

 

well today i took all the plastics and scrubbed them down with soap/water and a brillow pad. i also scrubbed the carpet on the panels and vacuumed out the water. i then soaked them in high gloss armor all. let me tell you, i wish i had more before pics because they came out awesome!! i also cleaned and then painted the center console. that came out really really nice. still has the texture but nice gloss. i will get a new center arm rest/glovebox replaced. here are some of the pics.

 

and the door panel switch panel.

i will probably put everything in through out the week.

 

That is really really nice. I hope that one day i can do all that to mine. Where did u get the hood? I'm looking for one like that.

 

That car is freakin SICK man, very nice job, I wish my paint looked that good. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You can get the hood at ascd or hawks

 

Ok, thank you

 

I love the car Bro, Just not a fan of the rear stripe.....You did amazing with it and the interior is on its way to......

 

it reminds me alot of what I just did to my car. It looks amazing bro! Keep up the good work

 

Curious: are you going to put the Iroc decals back on?
I am putting a black Iroc decal on, I will post pics when it is on, my paint in almost exactly the same as yours minus the stripe, (I know you've seen it) so it will give you an ideo of what yours will look like.

 

no i will not put the decal back on. after all the exterior touches, ie stripe, 406 decal rims, the iroc-z decal wouldn't fit the look of the car. to me, i think the car looks more modern.

 

ha
that's cool, which picture did you use for your screensaver?

 

Looks awesome seeing this makes me wanna go out and do something to my car but im pretty broke and trying to save up for senior prom :/. I think the wheels look great .

 

well today i received the headliner, door panels, inner/outer upper door stripping i wasn't able to work on it today, crappy weather. i will get out on thursday and start putting it all back in. post pics when its in.

 

Awesome cant wait to see them

 

Your car is perfect. I myself am waiting for a set of those will to pick up for my car. I just need to find a good deal. Absolutely awesome..!

 

Nice work man...VERY nice work. Your painted did a great job on that hood. He got that paint to lay super flat.

Putting new interior into one of these cars is so much fun. It totally changes the feel of the car.

Ill aways say my 3 favorite mods, that made the biggest impact on my cars feel and personality are 1. motor/trans, 2. brakes, and 3. the interior.

J.

 

thanks, yea i can't wait for the interior to be all in. right now i am dealing with installing the seats. don't know wether to use stock sliders or the aftermarket ones in got. i will have to mod the aftermarket to get them to fit right.

 

I love this hood but i wasnt sure how to paint it but your paint scheme is perfect. You wouldnt get mad if I did the black on Silver would you? The one stripe down the middle is sick looking i love it.

 

no, i wouldn't mind nor hav a choice. this is the only camaro done this way. silver would be hot. i was playing with photobucket to try and change the color to silver but i couldn't. i however did make it blue.

 

Love this build, top to bottom goodness.

 

well almost, my car will most likely have a white or flat black single stripe on top of the stinger cowl (maroon car - 91z) this summer, as well as the trunk lid and top of the z28 wing. i was going to do it when i first painted the car, but i couldnt figure out how a wanted to do the wing/trunk so i held off untill i could decide

 

i didn't know wether you got a chance to see it done yet!! i decided, obviously, not to paint the hump in the center. are you going to?

 

just got carpet in, well 90% in. i have to trim. i didn't think it would be as much of a pain in the butt as it is. plan to get more done tonight if wife is feeling good. she is kinda sick. for sure done this weekend.
.

 

I feel your pain with the carpet. I was down in galveston way back and my uncle woke me up tellin me I better move my car before it floats away so I got out of bed and stepped into 4 inches of water in my room! Yeah I got lucky though my car was parked up a little higher but water got inside. I drove home and pulled the carpet shampooed the **** out of it and used a power washer on it. While it was drying I drove to home depot and bought 10 dollars worth of insulation and cut and shaped it the way I wanted it. Car looked like new after that. Its worth it. Oh and I was thinkin the stripe be silver and the car being black. Man I love those wheels by the way.

 

well i got the door panels on... they were more of a pain in the butt than i expected. i just hate the panel snaps. also have the headliner almost ready to bolt up. have to keep trimming to get center to mount my over head console. i'll be back on the carpet tomorrow and then everything else is easy. snap and button. here's the doors.

 

Oh wow you put cloth on the door, that actually looks good. Nice job.

 

If you do go with one of those, Please sell me the set that is one your car now, I think it would really compliment my ride!
Let me know. Thanks

 

well my original door panels had carpet on the bottom. so when i reordered it, i did with the carpet on. i like it. at first i didn't like the contour lines but i do now that they are all together. my old door panels pattern were just split in half with carpet on bottom. i have decide to get the roh 18" wheels so i can get rid of the spacers or boze. this will be next tax season. i will then get rid of my current wheels and spacers. well i gots to eat some breakfast and get back out and finish this thing up today.

 

well it is all in, i am still waiting on stock manual seat brackets so i can mount the seats. i will not be running any back seats. so i will need to make a rear delete panel. there is a spot in a pic on the center console where it's white, armour all that i didn't wipe. i will be getting some new window switches and making panels to plug some of the holes from the rear seats.

 

Man thats turning out beautiful

 

 

i dont think im going to paint the "Stinger" or whatever its called, although i saw a '69 camaro with this hood, and it had the stinger painted and it looked good!

your car is turning out GREAT, great drive train, paint, and the interior is coming together nicely! i haven't posted in this thread in a while but ive been checking it every day because your car is the only one with our hood thats being built "right" IMO. i like the 2nd wheel choice ALOT, the new zr1 looks cool but i think it belongs on the zr1

 

should i run red or black floor mats? remember the seats are black. i am thinking red with z28 embroided in black?????

 

Personally I like the floor mats to match the carpet...but black looks pretty good too. I like your red with the black Z28 idea.

I might be inclined to ditch those saggy stock seat belts at some point and go with a nice set of black 4th gen belts. Black or charcoal...whichever matches your seats best.

That looks great so far man! Good work!

J.

 

the seat belts aren't that bad, i was in and out of the car and they weren't ratched back up. they do ratchet pretty tight, plus with the seats in, should look better. hopefully the seat track gets here by thursday and i can have the seats in friday night/sat. i might have to go for a drive!!!!

 

well the slider should be here by thursday and i can get the seats in. i can't wait!!!

 

WOW! it looks great! i can't wait to get mine looking that good.

 

to much red for me hope your seats are black that would look sweet

 

well the interior is all stock replacement. it came with red leather seats front and back, however, on the first page i have my black leather seats that i am putting in posted. the old carpet was more brown/black than red. (dirty)

 

im not a huge fan of red interiors. they just dont look right in any car ive seen them in. too "loud" of a color IMO.

none the less, amazing work youve put into it

 

well the seats are in. man do i love them. they are so comfortable. i ended up having to re-drill a hole on each slider and elongate the track mount holes. the seats were actually wider than the stock ones. anyways, all is good and can't wait to hit some turns.

 

seats are black, i used meguiars leather conditioner. i think i'll hit them with some armour all and see if they look darker. might also be just wash out from the flash.

 

Why is the Orange at the top of your pillars? is that just flash?
