Project: BLACK METAL - '67 Camaro

[67rally]

I taped off the front in preparation for the fiberglass.



I started with some fiberglass cloth, resin and hardener.





Sanded it, added fiberglass mat to the areas I needed to build, sanded it:



Then started my layers of Bondo Glass:



I didn't finish the top, since it will not be seen, and I didn't want to build it up due to clearance issues. Since I was going to cover it in vinyl, it just needed to be smooth, but not perfect. If I was going to paint it, I would have moved on to some Bondo body filler for a glass like finish.



Test Fitting:



I sprayed the top lip with black plastidip to give it a rubberized finish:



Started covering it in black vinyl, using 3M 80 Rubber & Vinyl Adhesive:



I knew I was going to have to have some seams because the angles on the front were pretty complex for someone of, uh, my skill level. I decided to seam it in line with the where the door opens. I probably should have made some grooves with a dremel and flushed it in, but it'll do.









Test fit:



Here it is installed:



Radio is in and working:



This is a Clarion NZ500 I picked up off eBay. It's a couple model years old, but I actually preferred it because the new models don't have knobs to adjust the volume, just buttons. Touch screen, iPod controls, Nav, backup camera (if I want it):
