thanks grego, we already have two yellow and black camaros running around town. and Im not a big fan of raceing stripes so I dont think its going to happen LOL. I think it looks good enough it will get a lot of attention as it is or that was the plan anyway.

 

got the trim on the top painted and got the top put back on. I have a few issues in the top that i will have to work out but it looks great.



I pulled the rear bumper back off to finish weld it and paint it Im hopeing to have that done today, then I will have to figure out somthing for a front bumper still working on ideas for that.
I noticed somthing that I didnt remember or have never noticed about my top yesterday, one of the slideing windows is just peice of plexi glass. I have good windows in my half top but I have no idea how to swap them around, have any of you guys done this?

 

That looks GREATTT!!! The top has enough black to accent the upper half. Really like what I am seeing. Just for a refernece for others and angle of light, I would say in front of the rear wheel area and forward is the truest color that I have seen of the other pictures.

When you get into to swapping the side glass just holler. I kind of have my feet on the floor and knees in the rear seat and with left elbow on passenger upper corner of glass/frame near front door, and using my whole forearm to spread the pressure to push the glass assembly out. Mark has done this as well and might have a tip or two that he can throw in. I have a narrow paint scraper availible and I would try to keep all of the glue on the shell or the glass frame. I hear that it can be reused, though I have never installed one.

Jason...You ought to be proud, it keeps looking better. Way to go.

 

thats just awesome looking jason
i was gona say terry might know an look he popped in lol

 

OMGOSH! That looks so good, man! I'm still blown away by the transformation, man! Remember just months ago how disheartened you were? LOOK AT CHA NOW!!! WOOT!

 

terry you ought to know by now I got your number on speed dial I bug you enough, I think the purchase of a heat gun is order to do this window swap. getting the one out of this top may not be bad but the getting the one out of my half top could be a real pain.

thanks cyberhorn a really appreciate the kind words, terry is for sure my go to guy. some day HE'S gonna tell USE THE SEARCH BUTTON.

I think about the deal a few months ago a lot man. Im so glad I just stuck with it I know I have a long way to go but its the fun stuff now.


I went yesterday and ordered the fabric for the door panels and the panels in the rear seat area so I should be able to start on them soon. terry ordered my interior paint for me since I couldnt get it around here, as soon as that gets here I hopfully can get started dressing that stuff up some.

 

p.s. I snaped this pic of my tailights in the dark plenty bright in my opinion, what suprised me was that you can still tell how faded they are under the tint. anyway PIC lol.

 

piced up my interior paint that terry ordered for me today, I didnt get a chance to check the color match but I should be able to get started on it soon, yea another step closer.

 

might want to look into those bright red LED taillights jason they would add color to the faded red an be very bright as well

 

I didnt know they offered colored LEDs like that, where do I look?

i looked up 1157 red led taillight bulbs they also have white but that wouldnt help the color

 

Hey mang, .... how are ya? Looking good... and can't wait for the next phase of the 'interior sickness'! lol.

 

Just checking in on you and seeing how things are going. Hope all is well.

 

Hey mark, been so busy I haven't had a chance to update my own thread. I can't wait to get started on the interior kinda feels like the last big step.

 

Hey terry all is well in my little world lol, kitchen floor is done house almost back to normal and. I'm at work just itching to get back home and get some work done. Hope all is well for you guys.

 

Just stopping in to say thanks, Jason. I really appreciate you and your hon's thoughts and prayers. We NEED EM! lol....

Best wishes on whatEVER is next, when you return to the lil Canary Really happy for you that you're FINALLY being able to enjoy all the fruits of your labor.

 

Got a few random things done on the runner today, couldnt seem to consentrate on one thing long enough to finish it, anyway progress is progress.

installed my 2nd gen dome light



installed and wired my map lights



I was also able to remove my bad window out of the top



I couldnt beleive how much dirt was traped behind the L trim, terry and I spent a fair amount of time washing this thing still tons of dirt.



I also got my anttena installed, seat brackets installed, and started sorting thru my many boxes of interior parts. started cleaning and preping a few parts for paint. I may actually get a little of that done tonight. a couple weeks ago I ordered fabric to do my rear seat panels and the door panels but it hasnt came in yet. wont be long now LOL, thanks for checking in.

 

lookin awesome jason
dang that yellow pops woot

 

thanks for the props cyberhorn, I really wanted a 1rst gen that stands out I think I got it LOL.

 

I have been itching to see how this interior paint was going to look, so I decided to head back out to the shop for a bit and see how much more I could get done.

started with a few grey pieces that need a color change



after 2 good coats the looked really good, sill plate



A pillar trim



I know I know the pics suck LOL, I was excited about how good it looked I didnt take pics before I installed them.

tailgate top plate



and one cargo area panel



the paint is matching the old interior very well, Im really hapy with this process thanks to terry for explaining the proper way to do it because my last attempt was a disaster.
one other thing if you notice in the pic of my tailgate there is a panel laying on the gate, is that the proper plate to cover the opening? if so thats kinda a joke.
like I said my fabric should be here in a couple days, Im really excited to get started on those panels now and I hope you guys like the direction Im going to go with it. thats it for now thanks for checking in.
