Awesome job, doing the same thing to my 67 Camaro now. One thing I may point out for future is the blower motor hole. I see you covered it with the smooth plate but you may want to install the vintage air 4 port plate while you have it apart. This way if you ever run vintage air or heat you don't have to mess with the firewall ever again.

I did this on my last Camaro build and hid the lines behind the wheel well/fender as much as I could and not simply put a 4 port plate on my nice firewall.

Keep up the work..!

Thanks.

Yes I thought about that but im not sure when I plan to install a Vintage Air system. After it gets painted the front end will be coming off again as I havnt touched the subframe. So I might do that before I put the front clip back on it.

We have color! After a few paint chips laid out and comparing different paint codes it was decided to use straight base toner white for the color. Its amazing the different shades of white when you put them on top of each other. Never would of thought. I wanted the brightest blind your *** white and at the end of the day the best option was straight base.




Laid out the "Z/28" stripes. Bought a kit from Firewheel Classics that has all the patterns and measurements to get it factory. Kind of a pain, but at least is correct unlike the last set that were put on 15 years ago.




First coat of hugger orange for the stripes

Its a Dupli Color brake caliper paint. I think it turned out well and really cleaned it up. I got it at O'Reillys and I bet it could be had elsewhere too
