ABS 69 Camaro build

[Richio1]

Jay, once again, beautiful build and incredible attention to detail. Question, by chance do you recall what brand the window fuzzies were that you used? I have tried two different manufacturers and they both fit like crap and the quarter window outters are too short.

Thanks

Thanks! I'm pretty sure they're made by PUI. They have the wing tips on the quarter glass ones. The rear ones always seem to be to long. I can never seem to push them back far enough to get them to fit right so I end up trimming the ends furthest to the rear of the car, the end with the wing tip. I also drill my own holes for the screws as the ones in the body never line up. That away seems to help in my case. Hope that helps

Looks really good. I have that Camaro Performers lying around somewhere. I miss that magazine.

Guys this car is as perfect as it looks,I got to see it in Columbus.

That...is one hell of a car! Great build

Thanks guys!

Thanks Jay. It does help. I'll give those a try and see how it goes.

Some pictures of the doors and interior going together. We ended up changeing the steering wheel as it was to small and we thought it looked out of place.

Great project! Who did your nice door panels?

Thanks Jay! Were those original GM panels? They look like they are better than original. Great work.

No Tony, they are Al Knox aftermarket panels. The were warped really bad. He also had to shorten them a little before he covered them in leather. I bought a set of OER one's for my car they look about the same expect they're not warped. I guess we'll find out soon enough if the fit any better.

Yes, My Camaro is red and I built the blue one for Jeff.

Good, I got it running last weekend. I just took a video of it tonight. I'll post it up in a little while.

I really don't bother stopping in to say something in threads often, especially on firs gen Fs since there are so many now, but your fabrication and attention to detail is fantastic! Very nice work!

Thanks Robert!

Jay,


I don't spend too much time on this site, but I still come over now and then to check out your builds for ideas. Something about your build style just looks right to me. Thanks again for posting all the photos to help others out!

Beautiful build. The LS-7 was well worth the need to change license plates, LOL.

Awesome work Jay !
Red one still under the knife ?
Any hidden specs to beat Jeff @ autoX ? ;)

Thanks! We changed the plate and it now reads LSX. We wanted an LS7 plate but someone else already had it.

Thanks Gil. The red one's getting there. It's running so it won't be long now.

Awesome work Jay !
