Progress on the 72'Camaro

No offense, but I sure as hell hope not. Those are powdercoated you know. If you have any issues with fitment and need to break out the grinder let me know and we'll go another route, no need to do anything drastic and I've got many more on hand

Nah, no need.. I was just worried about it after I had talk to a couple of people from around here.. They will be fine, I just have to get a small spacer so that they will clear the spokes..

I mocked it up with the brakes on it to be sure it would be the right length before I painted it.. Then I painted it with Detail Grey and started to put it back together... I also got rid of the dust shields on the brakes, they are worthless..

I also mocked up the wheels to the car..

D@mn that looks nice.... Oh by the way excellent job on those fenders, hope mine turn out that good.

 

[Throttle]

Thanks, I dont know what it is.. I have noticed that any car I do any metal work to after 69, the metal on them just seem thinner, hard to weld and keep from warping and just plain dirty metal..

I never noticed this till one of my friends brought it to my attention.. The wheels on my Car are alot like the wheels on my truck.. I didnt even mean for that to happen..

Did the gauge cluster today..

I had to trim away the gauge surrounds and then bolt them in, pretty easy actually..

I like the fact that you used the factory piece because I think they have a nicer look to them than some of the aftermarket pieces. Could you please show some pictures from behind and maybe some side shots of the smaller gauges, it’s hard to actually see how they are sitting because of what looks to be shadows on the left and right sides. Be nice to see how it’s going to look installed in the dash as well. Nice work.
