[quote=“Pauly,post:380,topic:13530"”] Hmmmm. I seam to recall–Naa no chrome i dont like the bling look Paul. LOL hey when that fan doesnt work out LOL i call dibs [/quote] I’m thinking that I’m going to be getting a different fan. It’s too much of a pain to mod it to fit with the long water pump. If I make that decision, I’ll pm ya. As for bling. You didn’t hear me say, No bling except for the rims :snky: Actually the only chrome/bling is the rims and the rear bumper. The engine compartment is nice and monochromatic 😃 But I’m close to broke with my budget. I might have to sell a kidney or make a Fund to Finsh the Camaro. ---

Got a new toy today thanks to Advance Auto Parts 😃 ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3906.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3906.JPG) Fitted the shifter console and the fancy shifter plate custom made ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3917.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3917.JPG) A little closer of a look (yes, it’s dusty) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3920.JPG](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3920.JPG) Carpet cut and the fancy new Body by Fisher sill plate ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3927.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/IMG_3927.jpg) Tomorrow I’ll finish installing the carpet and install the rear door panels and rear seat. Holes are cut for the front seats, but leaving them out until I finish the wiring. ---

[quote=“Way2Slow,post:394,topic:13530"”] What kind of seats are you putting in it? stock ones? [/quote] Yea. I recovered them with the 69 standard interior covers. I had alocal guy put the seats and headliner together for me. I was going to try it, but wanted to make sure it got done right 🙂 In a year or 2 I’m going to rip out the interior and make it completely custom like a lot of the retro rides are doing. I like the look of the new Camaro’s interior or the new Vettes or any other luxury car. Maybe redo it in black with light blue stiching. And then custom door panels to match. ---

They are nice about i dont like the fact that they dont recline. My old seats are the worst seats made so i got new scat seats. I like them alot ![http://www.sonikempire.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/normal_car_pic_023.JPG](http://www.sonikempire.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/normal_car_pic_023.JPG) ---

Yea. Those look a hell of a lot more comfy than mine. A complete front and back seat cover kit (original) only cost me $150 or so. So since I was spending more money on the paint, engine, and wheels, I decided to wait on the interior. Plus I want to learn and do most of it myself. ---
