Project "TQMNSTR"....69 Camaro

[g356gear]

Paint came out Killer, I wasn't a huge fan of garnet red but I think it looks great on your car :thumbsup:

Thanks! I wasn't too sure myself but it is growing on me. :)

[g356gear]

After getting a bunch of NOS parts together, I finally got some time to get back on the car. Got the headliner, visors, sail panels, rear tray, etc back in today.

You did a nice job on the head liner. How was it going in?

[g356gear]

You did a nice job on the head liner. How was it going in?
With these aftermarket headliners, they only give you about 1/2" extra on the front so it's a real tight squeeze to make it work. Turned out pretty good though....tight as a drum.

[DIGI-TAILS]

i cant wait to see it done!!!! very good progress!!!!

It looks great. Good job.:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

Thanks everyone for the good feedback.:thumbsup:

So I did something a little different with the front bumper. I used a spare steel core and brackets and welded the brackets up to the back of the bumper. This allowed the bumper bolts to be welded in and grown down smooth. It then went to powder coat and then in for a coat of paint. Kind of gives the car the enduro bumper look with the steel strength and durability.

[bonecrrusher]

Looking good - random question - where you get the Lowes hood from?

[awr68]

Looking really nice! Great job on the bumper! :thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Great job. Bumper looks good.

I have a few different used Nascar pieces from a site in North Carolina. They get used parts from different teams and sell them on their site....kind of like a broker.

[g356gear]

So its been a real battle trying to get anything OER or repo to fit even close to original. A few pieces I have been able to modify to make work but it takes lots of time for each piece. Progress has been frustratingly slow but it is happening. :thumbsup:

NOS trunk weather seal...so much different from the rubber OER material....and the trunk actually closes with the NOS stuff. Got the jack and POSI decals installed as well. My original POSI decal was a little off level so I did it the same way.....adds a little character I think. :)

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/g356gear/100_4497.jpg

Original channels re-installed after a good cleaning and polishing ( lots of orange overspray as they were not removed when car was changed to orange color originally) and OER seals that fit quite well actually (the only thing so far)

Original door handles and lock cylinders polished up. OER side mirror looks great but fits like *** and needs to be replaced.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/g356gear/100_4500.jpg

A set of 20 year old Softseal door rubber seals that fit quite well. The OER ones were over 1/2" off on the mounting points and could not be modified to fit my original doors. Dash all cleaned up from all the body shop dust and re-assembled.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/g356gear/100_4503.jpg

Quarter window seals modified to fit. Lower vent panels fit pretty good though.

[Rybar]

Nice, details like this make a big difference not alot of people will notice. Where did you get the trunk seal and door seals? My OER ones fit like crap like you described and I would like to replace them.

[g356gear]

I got lucky on the trunk seal. My local Camaro guy had 1 set left in a bag in his back room....$120. I thought that was agood deal since I have seen sets go on Ebay for anywhere from $150-200 just for a single roll of trunk seal.

The door seals I had hanging around from back in 1989. They turned out to be in OK shape, just need a little silicon emulsion to bring them back. NOS door seals are going for anywhere from $1400-1800 on Ebay right now for a pair!!:wow:

[waynieZ]

Nice progress. Making all this stuff fit right is time consuming, but makes all the difference.

[g356gear]

Nice progress. Making all this stuff fit right is time consuming, but makes all the difference.

I agree totally. I am only doing this once and doing it right. It may take some extra cash and a few extra weeks of time, but in the scheme of things, I think the level of satisfaction at the end will be greater. :)

[Rybar]

What do you mean? You don't like leaky trunks and window seals? Or having to slam the crap out of your doors? :lol:

[DOOM]

The aftermarket stuff is a total joke! I feel your pain!! I looked through your thread today and everything your shop had circled on your quarter panel is EXACTLY where mine are bad... I hope your done with the aftermarket junk...

[tones2SS]

Nice progress. Making all this stuff fit right is time consuming, but makes all the difference.

What Wayne said. Making it fit perfect is key for keeping all that other hard work looking great. Keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

I managed to find a guy with a set of front door fuzzies (NOS) yesterday. Not cheap but man do they fit nice. No comparison in quality and they just sit better on the top of the door edge. I was wondering why there were 2 extra screw holes for the fuzzies...now I know. ;)

[GregWeld]

Isn't it amazing that we now think something made by Chevrolet for what was at the time - a 'cheap '69 Camaro' - would be considered high quality! Tells you what the repop stuff is like.... :_paranoid :D

[g356gear]

Finally got the glass back in the car over the last few nights....about 2- 2.5 hrs per side.

Rear spoiler installed. I found some excellent rubber grommets that I put on the studs that replace the original rubber goo and space the spoiler about 1/16 off the deck lid to prevent paint damage to the truck lid.

Its coming out beautiful. The paint looks smooth as glass. Verey nice.

[waterwalker]

so jealous... its coming out nice

[tones2SS]

Very nice. Looks great!:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

Thanks guys. It finally feels like it is progressing. Once the rest of the interior is back in, I know I am really close.:yes:

[scottysimp7]

I like what I see. Have fun with those windows. Sometimes those tracks are a real pain!

[Leadfoot1]

I hear ya on the rubber stuff.... I have some OER brand on the doors now (just finished putting it together) and they are coming off as we speak. I got some METRO one's to try (received them friday) I could not get the doors to pass the first locking step and shut all the way.

I heard that the METRO stuff is better, i sure do hope so!!! It sucks when you put all the best parts you can and it doesn't work the way it should because of poor engineering.... Man! i mean, we go on the moon and can't even get some stupid repro rubber parts right...... :rolleyes:

I have the doors all put up together now. I had the idea that they would settle down as i finish other stuff before getting the car out ( 4 year resto now coming to an end in a few weeks!!) but they are still too ''bulbous'' and i wont get the car out like this. So, i have to take a few steps back and take the doors down to install the new rubbers.

Hope they do their job!!

Nice car you have, i love the red,

Lead.

[g356gear]

Thanks guys!

Got the trunk finished up today. A few little dings to take care of, self etch primer, and a new coat of factory speckle trunk coating. I will let that dry over night and then matt clear coat tomorrow. Once this is done, I can get serious on the interior.

I totally agree with Marty! And it's good to hear you are clear coating it...that's a must to keep it looking nice! :thumbsup:

[g356gear]

I totally agree with Marty! And it's good to hear you are clear coating it...that's a must to keep it looking nice! :thumbsup:

Agreed. The original trunk coating was not clear coated and it got some moisture on it at the body shop. Needless to say it came off in a few spots so I had to re-do the bottom pan. It's not a bad thing since now everything is fresh and new to go with the paint job.:thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

It looks great. My wife thinks I'm nuts because I check oout the trunk andunder the car. But I love it when their detailed . Nice work.

[g356gear]

Well...not too happy with the clear they send with this kit.....its a gloss clear. I was hoping for a semi of matt clear. I amy have to shoot it again. :mad:

[waynieZ]

Which paint kit did you use? I've got the Eastwood kit. I never looked at what clear they sent.

[g356gear]

Which paint kit did you use? I've got the Eastwood kit. I never looked at what clear they sent.

This was from Classic Industries. There is no labeling on the can as to what type of clear it is.....gloss or matte finish.

[g356gear]

This weekend was interior clean up time. I got my original rear seats cleaned up with an upholstery cleaning machine. I didn't think that much crap could come out of white seats. They didn't look that dirty to start with but boy was I surprised. Basically chocolate milk was the result.

Thanks. I am liking the white interior with the red paint now more than ever. I think it is more bold combination than the orange and white.

[g356gear]

Got the rear seat in, original seat belts all cleaned and re-installed. Got the carpets in, sill plates installed, and the basics for the console back in over the last couple of nights.

[user667]

Wow, that turned out really, really nice!

I have truley enjoyed following this thread! Love the outcome it loooks great and actually a fast timeline! Huge congrats...your almost there!! :thumbsup: :cheers: :woot:

[Vegas69]

I agree with the rest of these bozos, nicely done. :thumbsup:

[g356gear]

I really appreciate the feedback from members with such high caliber cars. Your opinions mean a lot. :thumbsup:

It was pretty quick turn around. Car went in to the bodyshop the first week in September and I got it back to my garage for assembly in January. I probably could have got it done in a few weeks if I had all the NOS parts but took my time at it and did a few nights a week. Best of all....my wife is still in my corner on the project. :lol:

[mexMan]

May I make a suggestion? Tuck the bumpers.

Anyway, I LOVE IT! Is the interior completely installed? I like a lot the color, and the final result is pretty cool.

[BBC71Nova]

Beautiful car! That has always been my favorite color combo on a '69.

[waynieZ]

It looks awesome. You must be nipping at the bit to drive it, I know I would be.

If this was a car that I was going to cut up, I would have done mini tubs from the start. Problem is that this is a really solid and original big block car. If it was anything else I would do it in a heartbeat. Thanks for the great comments.:)

Thanks......you should thank the general! :) This is the way it came out of the box.

[g356gear]

Finally got the original door panels back so I could finish the interior. I also had to do some Dremel mods to the carbon fibre close out panel to get it fitting properly. The front end sheet metal fits a lot differently now than it did before ( actually square now).

Did you polish the cam covers? they look awesome!

[tones2SS]

Very, very nice. We need some "in the sun" pics when you are done with that car!
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

Did you polish the cam covers? they look awesome!

When the car came back from the body shop, they had lots of residue and oxidation on them, so I did polish them up. Once I get my metal sealer shipped in, I will hit them with a red scotch brite and take them back to the machined look, and then seal them up. All the other silver metal work in the engine bay is machined and natural finish, so that's what I am going to stay with. Thanks for the compliment!:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

I took a tip out of "Payback's" thread and used red scotch brite on the valve covers and air cleaner and then sealed them up with Wizard's metal sealer. Worked great and cleaned up a lot of the scratches that would not polish out completely. I also decided to go away from the chrome trim ring around the headlights and just stay with the single polished ring that holds the headlight bulb in place. Everything else around the headlights would be black. I think it gives it a cleaner look and goes with the theme a little better.

Thanks guys....almost done. Just need to install the billet Marquez driving lights (wiring is all done) and the Anvil carbon front spoiler and that's about it.
(fingers crossed...knock on wood);)

[g356gear]

So, got the Marquez billet LED driving/signal lights installed and the Anvil carbon chin spoiler in satin finish mounted up. The billet housings are veeery tight in the stock housing holes. I had to persuade the mounting tab locations for the stock lights a little to get them to slide in and seat properly. The Anvil chin spoiler has no mounting holes drilled, so I had to clamp it in position and then drill and bolt each spot with some stainless allen head bolts. Pretty happy with how everything came out.

Nice job.
i think its a standard metal one just painted.
driving lights look awesome but down the line i think you should looking into different headlights/housings as they the old style looks extra dated with those high end marquez gems and that sweet cf spoiler
every time i see pics of your car i just ooogle over that color!!!:thumbsup:

[g356gear]

Love the Endura bumper!

Nice job.

Thanks Greg. That bumper is actually a steel core I had welded up to the mounting brackets so I could shave the bolt heads. It was then powdercoated for durability and then color paint matched. Pretty happy with the look and an easier mod (cost wise) than an endura bumper.

Hey Jay,
I will switch to HID soon but for now I just want to get the car on the road. Maybe if we get some good weather that can happen. 38 days out of the last 45 have been rain here, so I havent missed much driving weather.

DHL dropped off a new set of FESLER black anodized billet 3D tail lights for the car yesterday. Fit was perfect, quality excellent.

Thanks Tone. As with each project, there is always a small list of issues that need to be addressed before everything is where you would like it.

1. Speedo has decided that the needle wants to jump and the odometer does not want to turn any more.
2. Tach works fine up until 1500 rpm and then drops off to zero.
3. I have a dead spot in the powersteering about 1/4 turn off center to the right. There are no clearance issues, no belt slippage and fluid is right up, so I am thinking the original steering box may be having an issue.

It's the little annoying things that I want to get cleaned up before I can really enjoy the car to it's fullest.;)

Very good. I know once those things are done and gone, you'll be extremely happy taking her out for a cruise. That is a great looking car. Enjoy!:thumbsup:

A little more candy for the rear 4-link. Ridetech triple adjustable coil overs with remote resevoirs.
Hopefully will help with the sharpness of the ride on the street.

Let us know what you think about them after some miles. What shocks do you have now?

[waynieZ]

If they work as good as they look your all set.

Standard QA-1's that came from Prodigy with the 4 link.

Shocks Installed. Had to wait for some extra bushings from Ridetech so that took an extra week. I utilized an existing hitch bar that was on the car to hold the resevoirs. Worked out pretty well.

Wow...what a difference with these shocks. Not even the same car anymore. Now to swap out the fronts to triples and I am golden.:thumbsup:

Finally got the car back into the body shop for some minor touch ups and fixes. Pretty happy with the final product.

Thanks guys! Not sure how much road time the car will see this summer. I have a 2 1/2 year old son at home and twins arriving in 1 week. :willy: I think things are going to be a little hectic for the next little while. ;)

[Jay Hilliard]

Looks great. Still loving the Garnet Red!

[g356gear]

Glad things are going well for you and you've had time to put some miles on the car.
