I'm enjoying seeing the car come together! Glad you kept with the plan on the white.

Thank you, me too. I think the Ermine White is going to be sharp!

Thanks, seeing the interior start to take shape is very cool.



The Cragar’s are going back on along with some paint protection (lots o’ blue tape) for the body, both inside and out before anybody including me can scratch the crap out of it.

The back seat bottom has enough clearance for the mini tubs and it looks to clear the rollbar hoop easily. The replacement bump stops showed up as well as some new red Koni adjustable shocks.

While messing with the rear down bar I thought, now would be a good time to check the driver’s seat clearance to the rollbar. Not too bad, that’s with the seat adjusted all the way back. Looks like I’ll have all the factory legroom, bonus!

On the other side, I guess that the passenger seat will probably not have quite as much legroom, maybe an inch or so less. Me and Mrs. 7dee2 are on the short side so it’s all good.

It’s been a very long time but I don’t recall the driver’s seat cover being so misaligned, dagnabbit. My OCD can’t handle looking at that all the time!

The Camaro is back on 4 wheels again and the appointment with the upholsterer is coming up soon. I need to finish fitting the backseat frame, then they will put it all back together modifying the seat covers as needed. They’ll also install the headliner, sail panels, visors, rearview mirror, coat hooks, and recover the rear armrests. And of course, I’ll have them address the driver’s seat cover alignment.

Since the driver's front seat cover is so far off, I checked the passenger seat as well (2nd & 3rd pics). The cover is aligned nicely but the back will not latch in the upright position. So, both front seats require some tweaking to be acceptable.

Sat the backseat top frame in the car for a look-see. Yep, it’s going to need more of a notch than the bottom did.
