[Neuone]

Painted yet?

[badazz81z28]

Very nice selection of parts...I agree it’s funny when people say no expense spared and I see parts that are from from top of the line.

[classiccarcustoms]

"Is car painted yet?"

I am very very picky, i had body shop block and prime car a couple more times and fix any factory imperfections inside door jams, hood jams and so on. I just sighed off on color and body lines yesterday, they will start to paint the car next week. It is going Gunmetal Grey effect, black z28 stripes

[classiccarcustoms]

181021181022181023
Body should get painted next week.

[Neuone]

Looks great!

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you. Cant wait to see it painted and rolling again. Went down to body shop and installed all the suspension and brakes.

[97CAIVIAROSS]

Looking good! Anymore update pics!? Beautiful car with a lot of nice parts. I’d trade my two for this one. Lol

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you.
I will try and get some this week.
I have been out of town. I asked the body shop to hang the door and wet sand and polish the car then I am going to pick up the body and get it running again and install all the parts.
Then I will take back for them to hang the front clip sheet metal. I will post in my build thread. Just another 69 twin turbo camaro...
I posted my build for sale while it was at the body shop and we all know how body shops can stall and even kill a bad ass build. Well that is what happened.
So the owner of the body shop and i sat down and I explained that I want the car done and a #9.5 or higher and if I have to pay more to get that done in a timely matter I will.
That worked for the next 2-3 weeks when I stoped by there was 3 guys working on my 69 and now she is painted.
Looked great when I seen it last week. Those pictures were straight out of the booth no wet sand and polished yet.
I have a couple guys still calling everyday and wanting to purchase the car.
I might sell it or I have a 66 nova and 61 impala.

[rodd68]

is car for sale still

[classiccarcustoms]

I shouldn't because i could never buy or do this kind of build again but I would consider it.

[tkkleinjr]

Price?

[classiccarcustoms]

I posted my 69 while it was in paint jail and I was very frustrated. Since it was painted I removed the price and asked ad to be removed. $185k the way it is.

Car is running, all new side glass is installed, power locks and windows installed.
Fesler dash installed, billet ac vents, power trunk, Digital tail sequential led boards, Eddie motor sports billet tail lights.
All seals, felts and rubbers installed.
Lokar billet shifter and ball.
Billet push button headlight switch and module added as well as bush button wiper switch and module.
Billet e brake push button, traction control and trunk buttons as well.
Matching billet switch for power windows in the console.
Everything is wired in and working.

[classiccarcustoms]

Come get it before interior....
$185k.
I will have all the body panels aligned and installed before it leaves.
Everything is tested and in working order.

[Duder69]

What’s the PPg color code? This color is amazing!

[classiccarcustoms]

All pm replied.
Way more parts bought and installed since last update.
Factory rear seat frames are all modified and welded up.

[classiccarcustoms]

Header panel
Billet mirrors installed

[classiccarcustoms]

186141186142186143186144
Factory rear seat is rebuilt to fit DSE mini tub and Quadra link.
Fits great.
Going after Fesler top dash cap.
Had to dry fit Fesler front glass to double check dash cap. Not perfect. So I will keep trimming.

[narkotic]

For $185k does that include everything you've done / are currently doing but no interior? Or will that include interior as well.

[classiccarcustoms]

Includes everything that has been done to-date.
Does not include interior and front and rear glass will need to be installed after headliner is built.

I do have brand new seats for the front and made the factory rear fit the car.
All side glass is installed and adjusted.

[narkotic]

A challenge to prospective buyers - getting a loan isn't terribly complicated for a classic car, but they will want to do an appraisal. No doubt this car will appraise, but not in its current condition. Not having interior is a challenge.

I've been through this recently - was going to buy a project car (from this site actually) that had great bones, but wouldn't appraise. At the rate the market is going, I'd rather borrow money as it's cheaper than pulling it out and paying cash for anything. So it would most likely need to be a cash buyer.

[classiccarcustoms]

Never had one problem selling high end projects and completed cars.

My car is going to interior next week. Once done it will be around 240-260k.
I was giving buyer a chance to add his/her spin on interior.
The first person that looks at my 69 in person and knows what it takes to build a car of this calibration will buy it.
It’s not a normal Ridetech, cpp 5.3l or LS1 build.

Good luck on your search.

[narkotic]

Please don't misunderstand me - your car is bad ass and worth the money.

All I was saying was, to prospective buyers, if they wanted to buy it as-is without interior, they would have to use cash. Doing this as a favor to them so that they don't go and run their credit and find out the bad news.

Unless you're aware of a lender that would go for it, by all means, let me know!

[classiccarcustoms]

Thanks
I had the color made. Took 3 days and over 30 spray out panels to get it just how I wanted it. Body shop charged me an extra $600 to do so.
While painting the car, I had them mix an extra gallon of paint for the new buyer if he ever wanted to paint added parts or touch up anything in the future.

[narkotic]

If you found a buyer @ 185 for as-is, would you be able to put in a seat, headliner, windshield and wipers in case they wanted to drive it home? Or would it need to be brought on a trailer?

[LSM3]

At $185k, pay the extra $1500 for enclosed transport....

[classiccarcustoms]

If you found a buyer @ 185 for as-is, would you be able to put in a seat, headliner, windshield and wipers in case they wanted to drive it home? Or would it need to be brought on a trailer?


Are you a serious buyer or are you just asking?

Front seats are new and installed.
Headliner-no. Interior shop was going to build me a 1 piece and wanted front and rear windows out until interior is complete.
Wiper arms-no they go on after front windshield is installed.
Wiper motor is installed and wired in and working (rain gear).

I have the Marquez front bumper, hood, wiper cowl and inner fenders all at body shop painted both side body color. Oh and rs grill assembly.
I just need to pick them up.

Working on rs headlight assemblies. 186977186978186979

[SCPDaddy]

An absolutely awesome build.

I've always been curious (a) how the builds over a certain power level are planning on hooking up at full throttle, and (b) how long it's going to take to change plugs or header gaskets with some of the tighter engine compartments like this. Pretty sure (a) is not and (b) is going to suck.

But burnouts are fun and whoever can afford this can afford to pay someone else to hate the engine compartment maintenance.

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you.
Easy I made all the inner fenders removable with out taking fender off.
Plus u can get to everything from under the car. You get what you pay for. Use cheap headers, hardware/gaskets. U will get leaks.
As far as hooking up well that going to be in the tune, tires and driver Experience.
I did add traction control.

[SCPDaddy]

Good points.

Which traction control system did you use?

[classiccarcustoms]

Holley

Thank you
Billet driving light, take 1. 187804187805

I know that you're trying to sell the entire car and the billet driving lights you've created are just 1/1000 of the project, but they are so beautiful, if you happen to want to make an extra set and sell them to an appreciative '60 pro-touring Camaro owner for a reasonable price, please kindly count me in as a buyer who would gladly respond to a PM. Thanks in advance.

[classiccarcustoms]

What’s a “reasonable price “ for billet driving lights?
I have a brand new set of MCB “driving light” kit I will sell.

[MotorCityMuscleCarz]

I sent you a private message. Also, please let me know what the MCB driving lights kit looks like. Thanks.

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you.
I had given a big deposit for one interior company last year to hold me a spot for February. They keep calling the day before and stating they need another week to catch up. I had my car set up for s second interior shop last month, they called and stated one of there guys got hurt and they need a couple days to catch up. I have all brand new deluxe interior I might just put in for now and start driving the car. In the meantime i just keep working on this build I.E driving light assemblies, Marquez design lower valance, stereo system.
Next step os tp charge a/c, 2 heater lines, change clamps for upper radiator hose, install inner fenders, grill and bumper, 1 piece headliner and then I can install front and rear Fesler flush glass.
Then I will start driving her.

[TANKMASTERJ]

Are your fuel lines just stainless tube fanned and bent to fit?.
Flare fitting or?
I'm wanting to do mine in rigid stainless except a shorty at thee tank and at the engine

[classiccarcustoms]

Stainless tube formed to body and frame. -An fittings at each end.

[classiccarcustoms]

Take 3 with TMI headliner.
Raptor liner on inside roof then
Dynamat extreme then
Drynamat dynaliner
Then mocked up TMI Suede 1 piece header liner. In and back out 3 times so far. Thought I had it last go around and I turned on the stereo for the kids again and the liner was making a wobbly noise, so out again and I installed Dynaliner on the back side of of TMI headliner as well.
Now in for the fourth time.
I will get installed pictures tomorrow.

TMI headliner and sale panels all installed.
Glass guy is coming tomorrow to install Fesler front and rear glass

189495189510189511

[classiccarcustoms]

Fesler rear glass installed 189528

[Duder69]

Very nice and clean! Was wondering if you put the front glass in and how it fits with anivil cowl panel..

[classiccarcustoms]

Front glass is not fitting to my liking.
I am very OCD. I ditched the Anvil wiper cowl.
Anvil wiper cowl works great with factory window stainless and windshield. Not so much with flush glass.

[Crazy Horse]

Impressive Build!
Hope you get every penny!

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you.
Did a couple pulls on a dyno this Saturday.
Not bad.
841 rear wheel (980 ish motor) HP on 91 pump gas.
At 6,200 rpm 12 lbs boost, 43 psi, 4th gear, 131 mph.
Runs great. Going to make a couple changes and load another tune.

I like the Corbeau seats. How do they fit in the car & are they comfortable with lots of support? Did you have to get the bases shaved. I have heard they sit too high if you don't get the bases shaved. I really like the way they look in the car. Beautiful build, keep up the good work.

The Corbeau seats fit great. I am 6' 1" and I didn't have to shave the seat mounting brackets.
I am running a TMI 1 piece headliner.
As far as the brackets the rear bolts are a pain in the butt to get in. If I could say one more thing about the Corbaeu brackets for these seats in a first gen it would be that with my hand in the slide track release and releasing the seat to slide and I slide the seat all the way back, my hand gets pinched between the release handle and the bracket itself. Anyone else have this issue? Before final mount I am going to mill off some of the bracket to get more clearance for my hand.
Support in the seat is amazing. Fit in the car is very nice, I am OCD and when you travel the seat all the way back with out carpet in the car the outer side of the seats (plastic cover) rubs very very minor on the factory wire covers that run down the side of the car, so I cut and re shaped those.

If you need pictures let me know.

Just reshaping my RS grill today and just received my Anvil front bumper. I have 3 bumpers to try: 1-Anvil, 2-Marquez, 3-Endura bumper. I will be selling the other 2 after today.
Then car goes back to body shop to paint the grill and install the hood and polish the car. After that she will be on the road.

Thanks

[classiccarcustoms]

R/S grill & headlight door alignment take 7!
I hate being OCD.
Goal is to have it fitted today.
Added SEM plastic repair. Now shape to fit.

[Duder69]

Always wanted to know how good they fit

[classiccarcustoms]

I have a factory style Endura bumper, Marquez bumper and a Anvil carbon fiber.
I will use one and sell the other 2
I have trimmed and shimmed off and on 8 times the Anvil one.
It’s almost done

[srode]

Curious why you preferred the Anvil over the Marquez and the factory style Endura?

[classiccarcustoms]

Curious why you preferred the Anvil over the Marquez and the factory style Endura?

Ok so when I painted the car I had stock lower valance. Marquez was not available. So I bought endura bumper. And a Marquez bumper. Painted everything.
Then I bought a Marquez valance. Painted it.
Crazy thing is Marquez valance has no provisions for a from bumper, not even his own front bumper. His bumper has 90 deg tabs that I would have to cut a hole in his own valance.
Stock endura bumper. Same I would have to cut off the factory inside mounting brackets.
So I ordered an Anvil one. It mounts through the lower grill mounting holes.

This is why I have 3-4 parts for this car. Lol

Those corbeau seats are really nice, are they the black leather or vinyl? The head rests are kinda tall on these seats, from other sites i've seen them on, did you have them cut down?

[classiccarcustoms]

Thank you. Leather. Headrest removed and covered up. Back of seat cut down 2". Looks great with windows down. I hate looking through the windows and seeing big beats sticking up.
