Thread: 1971 Camaro RS

Tweet

It's been hard to make progress on the old girl lately. I'm on my 2nd week of 12's, the washer and drier crapped out, and it's been raining every other day. I decided to start a diet. Since I'm at work and they make me take 30 minute breaks, I work on camaro parts on my lunch break. It sure makes a fat kid hungry but I am making some progress at least. I've wire wheeled a lot of bolts and primered and painted them, as well as my new battery tray. I have some pieces left for the front end yet to do.

I finally got the carpet and front seats put back in. Now I am working on completing the interior color change. My sail panels were all but gone. I found some in a car in a junk yard but the ends needed some repair. I repaired them, prepped them and sprayed them with interior paint/dye. My rear panels needed some work so I'm repairing them too. These 4 panels are bringing $350-$600 for nice used oem pieces. These are going to have to work for now. I'm going to try and repair the door panels and use them for now too. Eventually I'll get all new interior for it. For now it'll be nicer than it was and be able to be driven for a while.

And that's what it takes to get a car done right?!?!? The house / kids / family come first, but good on ya' for trying to take care of yourself, diets are always brutal.. mine is only a mesely pound a month, it still gets hard to reach tho.

It's good that you can make progress of any sort some times. My sister posted of FB that it's only 90 days 'til Christmas! I'm thinking (sigh) already?!?!?
