Cleaned up the '73 Camaro

Well, I had my Dad's '73 Camaro (which I only take care of) at my house for a few days to clean her up. I gave her a buff, Zaino everywhere, repainted half the interior, and drove the **** out of it.

I don't have any before pics, 'cause I'm stupid.

Yes, I know, there's a lot of gauges.

Some new pics from my... CAMERA PHONE!

Makes me miss my "woulda-shoulda-coulda" '71. Looks great, but yeah lots of gauges and not digging the wheel cover.

I think with a new steering wheel and correct gauge placement, that would be sweet. Also, a proper polish.

Yeah trust me, the car is far from perfect. If it was mine, I'd be ripping so much crap apart. It's practically stock, it still has exhaust manifolds.

The steering wheel cover is on there because the vinyl is sticky and gross.. We're getting a new wheel ASAP. We've had the car for 13 years.. I helped paint the damn thing when I was 5. I have a picture of little me with mask/goggles on holding an orbital sander

Not much has been changed in the past few years.. makes me sad

I added some new pics up there..

What kind of exhaust tips do you guys suggest? Or do you just think we should get new ones cause those aren't shiny

Both of those cars are beautiful. I'm actually waiting on my dad to get his 71 SS Chevelle back from paint so we can go cruisin and have a photoshoot. By the way, not a bad paint job for a 5 year old
