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

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 :smiley:

But I’m close to broke with my budget. I might have to sell a kidney or make a Fund to Finsh the Camaro.

That looks incredible…

I added 80 more pics. It’s been slow lately for worthwhile pictures of stuff since I’m doing all the small taskes that need to be done

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 :slight_smile:

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 alothttp://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.

I hear ya, i wanted rims and disk brakes this year but spent the money on a motor. The thing with me is I want everything for my car at once. I did the interior last yr and now doing the engine bay this yr. So next yr will be rear end rims and disk brakes. Its never ending ha

nice progress :tup: love the wheels
