It took me 2 & 1/2 years to save for this and I thought I would share it with you also.
Materials cost $1,500.00 including all new weatherstripping and miscellaneous "parts and pieces" .
Then there's what I payed my friend Mike( Professional Painter ) to do the job. another $1,500.00 = $3,000.00 Base/Clear coat with the best PPG has to offer including PPG crystal red pearl additive.

The car was on its way to the junk yard. I took a chance and payed $500.00 for it. Needed a fuel pump ,water pump , power steering unit ,new steering column/ VATS module ,intake manifold gasket, front windshield ,new front bumper cover and lower valance, new rear hatch and motor, some of the interior including head liner ,console ,door skins. ,etc. .

9 years of hard but fulfilling work so far

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeez did that turn out looking nicer than nice, good save. And those stripes are embedded in there smooth as glass.

 

Thanks, I'm trying not to bomb the site with photos but it hard not to do because a photo says a thousands words. I have always dreamed of having a car like this and since its my first build I'm learning as I go.


And I'm a Third Gen Camaro NUT.........


Side note = The cars paint is around 6 years old in the last two photos and I've only used Synthetic Polymer Sealers on it.
Meguiars Ultimate Synthetic Paste every 3 months and Race Glaze polish once a year.
The car has never see wax of any kind and is why it looks like glass.
It does have 4th Gen. Camaro seats in it now.

 

Bomb away! Most of us here like eye candy, and it's easier than reading. lol
