The roll is 54" wide, I ordered 2 yards which gives rougly 6' x 5'. I should have enough... not so sure about the glue tho. This material drinks a lot.

 

Link to NOS headliner piece? I can't seem to find it, mine has a few minor cracks around the screw holes.

EDIT: I see hawks has what appears to be a NOS one for $90, in black.

 

I wanted to ask you something else, spike--what's your source for the glass? I recall you saying all the glass in the car is new.

 

damn this is a one sweet build! very nice job.

 

Really nice car! Wish the wheels weren't so big and I wish it wasn't lowered though.

 

i never got around doing the vynil on my interior.. ill probably never do it lol . looks good man!

 

That thing looks brand new! No , cleaner than new! I've never seen anything like it. Amazing!

 

Is that bondo to fill in and smooth the plastic trim?

 

Thanks. Fiberglass was used to fill the side skirts emblems. As far as front and rear uerthane bumpers, I have no idea.

 

I bought everything locally, since shipping glasses to Quebec would have been a major pita.

 

How is the vinyl coming??

 

would love to see some updates on what panels you wrapped AND im afraid it will look out of place if theres some plastic and some vinyl..i guess more specifically, it would make the dash and center console look out of place.
nice build btw

 

Ill update pretty soon with pics. Im having some trouble with the glue. Im still testing new wrapping methods.

 

Any more progress

 

Let's see some updates of this beaut!

 

Now that is one beautiful ride.......

 

Quick update... The material is perfect in terms of touch feel, expendability and overall look. The problem is that when the glue cures, after a couple of days, it starts to lose its tack and the vinyl becomes loose and full of air pockets. So Im researching a new type of glue. Im still debating if I buy the Fastbond again (and put more coats on both materials before sticking them together) or go with another product. I ran out of Fastbond on the last piece I put together, and I have none left to test my multiple coats therory.

So I decided to put a hold and put my new engine together. Forged LSx here I come.

 

Those kick panels look awesome. I'd really like to try this on the interior of my vert, maybe next winter. I shouldn't think it would be too bad considering there's half as much plastic to cover compared to a coupe

 

i gotta say this build is pretty sick man great work u have there, i had question about ur side skirts, i know u had shaved the emblem on the skirts now how did u mount ur side skirt to the car i know there are clips in the rear and screws inside the door area but under the emblem there are screw holes, unless this was done on the car.

 

I epoxied 2 bolts inside the skirt before shaving the emblem location. That way, I can still bolt them in the fender just like the oem would. Im just using a bolt/but combination versus the old metal screw way.

 

I've ear that you started your engine ?

Je parle avec un gars sur Montreal racing qui te connais !

 

The center console could be wrapped pretty easily I would think. The dash, I'm not sure about.

 

Engine was dyno tuned saturday. Dynod 387/369 on a Mustang dyno. Car runs extremely well and has power thru all the band. Ill post a video or two tomorrow. Im working on finding a charging bug, Ill figure this out tomorrow.

Les nouvelles vont vites! hehe

 

Wow beau chiffres !!

Au plaisir !

 

Enjoy guys!

Looks and sounds killer man! How does it feel to be behind the wheel again?

 

The adrenaline rush is great! But man, I was so stressed out that day. I had nightmares the night before... The car was on the dyno and I was picking itsy bitsy pieces of engine all over the place.

Cant wait for a hot sunny day! Its been raining since I brought the car back.

 

spikez, u did an awesome job. i hope to see more from the car.

 

It's gotta feel good to see the project nearing completion. I have yet to make any "real" progress on mine.

 

That is the best damn looking camaro of any year I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, I hope to see you at car shows!

 

Wicked man !!!

The car is awesome.

Hope to see you and your car this summer!

Why you doN,t go back to ClubCamaroQuebec anymore?

 

Merci!
ClubCamaroQuebec etait soso la derniere fois que j'ai etait sur le site. Trop d'histoires de carburateur pi de gaz d'avion... hehe, ca a peut-etre changer depuis! Je vais y jeter un coup d'oeil.

 

Hey spike what wheels are you running on your ride? I wish my vert looked as good as your car.

 

hi spike some people on the Quebec Camaro Club would like to know the result of your dyno run could you go take a look or reply here i'll copy it
http://ccfqc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3209
thanks

EDIT: Sorry i just read a little bit more and see that: Dynod 387/369 on a Mustang dyno

 

Bonspeed's Intense 5. 18x8 fronts and 18x10 rears.

 

Sounds really good what exhaust is that ?

 

SW long tubes with 3È collectors merged in the flowmaster double 3" to 4" single. No cats, 4" over the axle to a Magnaflow muffler. Honestly, I think its a bit too loud. I think Im gonna swap to a "real" muffler and open the e-cutout if I need it loud.

 

@Spike-Z - is that the factory White paint color (Color code 40 or WA 8554)?

I have a white 1988 IROC and am trying to figure out the best shade of white to use.

Love your car, it;s a show winner.

 

I like how along with the shaved door moldings, handles, antenna, you also shaved the groove that runs across the back bumper....great attention to detail. What weight door poppers are you using? We all know how heavy our doors are...

 

Use this for glue for your material.

 

hey spike-z i was wondering about your shaved gas cap door . i really like the looks of it and was thinking of doing it to my car. just wondering if you have any problems of gas feums in your car?

 

Thanks!

Thanks, I used 35lbs solenoids from an autoloc kit. Remember that the solenoids are only pulling the release rod. It has nothing to do with opening the door, its just unlatching it. Since my wheaterstrips are new, when its unlatched, it just opens up, maybe 2 or 3 inches.

Ill get the stuff. Thanks man

I only drive the car in good wheater, that means with windows down or top off. That being said, I dont really think it smells anything coming from there. My 4", un-catted exhaust smells a whole lot more. But hey, I guess its the price to pay for a fun toy.

 

Spike, I am here to say that is the cleanest, sharpest looking third gen camaro I have ever seen anywhere!! I am in awe of this car. Absolutely flawless.

onthedownlow

 

wow...wow...and wow!!! As everyone else stated, the car is super clean. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more pics.

 

Hey whats your offset to clear the Z06 brakes?

 

Updates?

 

very true its kinda naked without it. otherwise i wouldnt changa a single thing. hope my car looks half that good when its finished.

 

really want to see this finished.

 

spike...always loved the car...great job...one of the best....hows the build coming along? anymore new pics?

 

you still got this beast spike?
