i wanted to share a car i just am about done with, i have been working on this one for about 2 months, it came to me in boxes and with fresh paint and that was pretty much all that was done, my customer wanted to put a big sound system in it with vintage air and leather interior, the motor was already in the car but never fired up the first pic is the way it came to me, it was a fun build, we are almost done with the interior and i will post pics monday night of the inside

this is what i did the vintage a/c control panel, i didnt like the way it fit in the original spot where the old panel was so i took a part of another camaro glove box cut it out and glued it in place, trimmed off the old ashtray and glued it in solid and put the vintage panel in there ,looks a little more in place where it is now

here are a few pics of the interior, my wife does the seats and door panels, she is very very good, and pay very close attention to detail and fit !! we covered the console in the same ultra leather thats on the seats

Nice.

So is that copperhead as in the color mixed for the truck built on Trucks! called Copperhead? IIRC it wa a PPG blend they made & then added to their catalog. I'm digging the color a lot.

Where did you get the spark plug wire looms with the Bow Tie emblem? I've seen the Mr Gasket version but not with the Chev emblem.

Yeah, I'm really liking the color too....and that engine compartment :) !

i am not sure where the looms came from, the owner bought a ton of parts when he brought the car to me and they were there with all of it, may want to check with jegs, a lot of parts came from them, just in case anyone was going to ask ,,,,,, i did paint the hood latch assembly after these pics were taken
