Taking a coffee break. DID some work on the dash. And layed out the body lines.
Took a pic of a junk forward facing scoop, these holes are blocked off.
You can see all the steel behind the bumper in this pic

 

Well my plan was to send ont the car dissassembled. I was going to paint the rad support black and everything else red. Then pick up car,drop in engine,assemble front end.
Now I'm thinking I WILL scratch everything up trying to assemble new paint.
Don't forget theres the fire wall cover that will be red also. It install before the fenders.
So I could paint wheel wells black or get the red that the exterior will be painted and paint all the engine compartment stuff red and preassemble prior to paint. Then drop in motor to finished car.

Ideas??

 

looking better everyday ur almost there,keep up the good work.if i didnt live so far away i would come paint ur car for free,only thing it would cost u is the paint.

 

Need a place to paint. Can't get around car in my shop. I do one side at a time and then move it over.

 

yeah thats what i have to do too ,my shops only 10 feet wide,i have the wheel dollys makes it really easy.

 

Same thing here, only I have added issue of the car being in the canopy. Even if I swapped places with the Camaro, my real garage is too small to paint in also. I'm stuck doing as much as I can and then pay for paint.

 

I've painted in a canopy...Can't get it clean enough....,Can't get enough airflow(exhaust air) BUGS in the paint,LOL Last time I was in between coats with tweezers picking flys out. Thier legs stayed behind and got wet sanded out

 

thats why i like painting in the winter,a 10x23 area,my big buddy heater and im good to go,no bugs to deal with.

 

I didn't notice the "good" side. I think I would like that more or maybe the grill all the way across.

 

I think for that amount of work I would have to love it. I don't,so I'll use the bumper.
It's time to start the rest of the body. All the black must go.
The rest of my Mike Lavallee wannabe flame job goes also.
I pulled the door trim from the driver door and masked for dust.
This is the aftermarket outer window seal. It never fit right,I had to cut it and bend it to get close. Your supposed to reuse the chrome fom the original. I did a chrome delete any ways, Good luck trying.
The paint was soo soft it dented where the spoiler was.
