You may be right, to date the links are still not changed out so we can see where it ends up. I’ve got some new repro factory-style links that are just a bit longer if needed. Besides the skinny tires should make for great handling you know! :lol:



Finished up the steering linkage and added our Center Line rollers to be ready. No shocks, calipers, etc. need it to roll and steer for now.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Very nice progress! It's getting really close now! Do you have a certain date you're trying to get it ready for?

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Hey thanks Ryan, not really just enjoying the build (well, most of the time :lol:).



A quick touch-up of the rear lower control arms before this stuff was mated with the car, that's also a final parting shot of the K30 in the background.

And yessiree, the Camaro is back to being a roller again! :ww:

A couple of days later we were at the 23’ C10 Nationals in Salt Lake City. Pretty impressed with the Kindig-It retractable top C10. Talked to Mrs. 7dee2 about possibly a multiple-tone paint job for our C10 project. We both liked the paint scheme on this truck.

Later we saw this Red & White 72 with the large Coys forged wheels, and the misses fell in love. Yep, she wants our C10 to be Red (oh yeah, her favorite car color :lol:), and the factoryish two-tone works for her.

Perk’s is getting ready to black out the tail pan. Also, the dash and inner belt line still need some paint and should follow shortly after. Here’s some new garage wall art (a gift from Mrs. 7dee2), it’s a ringer for our Camaro! ;)

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

The blackout and interior paint are done and I’m a Happy Cat! :ito:

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Progress for sure, Looks Great ;)

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Looks great
Has to feel good to be at this point

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Thanks Kevin, put a big-o smile on my face.

Thanks Kirk, it does feel good, we’re so close to having the car back.



A little bad news to report, apparently the rotisserie (or perhaps an operator?) was not kind to the zolatone trunk paint. It cracked in some areas and needed touchup, along with finishing off the trunk hinges that are now in body color. No worries, Chris will have it fixed up in no time while blending the hinges.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

That's unfortunate about the small step backwards but I'm sure it'll be looking good as new in no time. It looks like it's all starting to come together now!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

blacked out rear panel, gotta love that.

Great looking build

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Thanks Joe, a little at a time.

Thanks Tempest67, that’s a very sharp Tempest. I really like the blackout with gold, nice.


Sahweet! Here’s our first group of parts back from paint. They even left the holes I made in the wheel wells for adding new splash shields. :clap:

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

The last thing was a good squirt of 3M Cavity Wax Plus (link). Kelly sprayed the rockers using an extension, inner cowl, rear quarters, trunk drops, etc. until it ran out on the shop floor. Here’s our Camaro just soaking up some rays waiting for the trip back home. Yep, still a Happy Cat! :ww:

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

this is such a great build thread, for a great looking car

Thanks for sharing

Re: 67 Camaro Build
 

Thank you Tempest67, that’s nice of you to say I appreciate the kind words.



Holy moly, I’ve got all kinds of stuff showing up. I’ll start with a fairly new 21 GMC AT4 Canyon (link), and some new tunes for the Camaro (it’s all Kicker stuff with a Retro Sound head unit). And of course, our Camaro is back home now with the doors and one of the trunk lids. You would think somebody just had a birthday! Oh wait, that was around my birthday last July. If I hadn’t just used the Happy Cat jpeg I’d use it for this post, cause, you know Happy Cat!

Needed to remove the paint off these slip joints. Then a quick tape job to try and protect the pretty paint. I think the old rollbar is gonna look great, many thanks to Perks Customs for the continued great work. :metal:
