I'm not a Camaro guy, but I can't wait to drive this thing, there is a TON of time and effort in that car......... these pics are tip of the iceberg

if you ever see a first gen Camaro convertible with fatties tucked under it nicely on leaf springs...... tip your cap, I had no clue what I was getting into

Mark, can you describe your painting process for the undercarriage? I like the two-tone effect with the pans being a ?semi-gloss? black and the frame being a ?semi-gloss? grayish. I want to do the same thing to my 68 Coronet. Is it SPI poly primer followed but the black; tape and then spray the gray? Specifics please! Terry

the Camaro sub frame bolts to the body, unlike the Mopar unibody. In this case, it's also welded to the frame connectors; and I hid that set of bolts. I painted the subframe a hammered/metallic finish to mimic unrusted bare steel and set it apart from the body. The car will be black and I think GM cars are black underneath, if anything; so the semi black was a no brainer. Whatever you do under you Mopar should be consistent IMO, as it's all one piece.
The back and sides thread has a couple nice options. You could also go with one of the textured options such as Raptor Liner or similar
 
up late last night, just let Rebel outside to pee.......in a fog, tempted to go back to bed

must resist, make coffee....... it's finally Sunday! :mad:
 
Ahhhh yes, after a long week of restoring old cars, I think I will take the day off and... work on an old car.

Don't feel to bad, I have a 66 Satellite that was a started restoration in 1990. It seems something always got in front of it. So it still sits. It's one of 2 projects that I haven't finished. I also found a 67 GTX 440 4-speed within the last year that I have bought about 7K in parts for that needs to be started on, so that's 3. Most of us have more projects than we will get done.

Sounds like my 66 Belvedere....blew it apart in 98 after driving/racing it for 10 years. It's been part way together 3 times now.....but at 74, I don't see me doing it.
 
Mark you maybe helping all us of guys just by motivation... the idea of mandatory one day a week is brilliant ... keep it up. !

Oh I'm cleaning out my shop....slowly but surely so it's been productive so far. Found a 26 pound K frame that needs more work to make it stronger but that's not going to happen under my watch....
