'67 Camaro E/SA redo

HandOverFist · 08-17-2014, 08:50 PM

Lots of rain today and didnt do any spraying. My partner got ambitious and figured out how to remove the window trim and door felts so that part is out of the way. Seats are out and will be re-covered soon. My next project will be on the inside of the car taking apart the dash once more...going to need matching paint in the interior, right? That will be a weekender for sure with all the masking and detail work...hopefully I will get the door jambs/threshholds done at the same time. Oh yeah...removed the fuel cell so we could paint the trunk which has up to this point only been in primer.

Consensus - Black tail or not? If I remember correctly these were a matte black finish???

Black tail is my vote.......the sure come apart easy hey? JK

It sure is a sobering reality when "down on power" is the problem ,good luck with the freshen up!

The car is going to look great with the new color combo, Rich. I also like the idea of the black tail panel,, even though the factory reserved that treatment for big block cars. As far as interior, either way you can't go wrong, whether its gold or black, it'll look just fine. I can't wait to see the finished product,, take care.

Yeah, I've about sold myself on the blacked out tail. Guess I will have to get some eggshell black...too much gloss just won't look right. No worry...I'm not changing the Gold interior out, but I will be re-painting the tops of the doors, dash and trim pieces to match the new body color.

Nah...I work for a electric utility 3:30pm to 11:30pm and usually get home around midnight.

While everyone was at Bowling Green this weekend having fun in the 100 degree heat I was busy in the shop with the same weather. Got all the pieces painted and the seats with new covers are back home.

The hull may look pretty slick in the pictures, but it is far from it atm. I had a slight mishap/setback yesterday with some polyester body filler and I spent most of yesterday evening and the better part of today cleaning that up. I must not have used enough hardner in a batch of filler as it would never completely dry on the car...a major ordeal as it would not sand at all and balled up like chewing gum from hell. I ended up taking a razor blade and scraped it all off the car this morning before I could continue.

Anyway, I shot a high build coat of primer on it before leaving this evening. I'll block the hull and see where it still needs attention. Once straight I'll shoot a couple of coats of paint on it then assemble the car again. Some medium wet sanding once the car is complete I'll shoot it again as a whole.
