Re: 67 Camaro Build
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.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
A few more pics while turning the car around (makes for an easier workflow under the lift). Right before getting it ready for a couple more vendors (Upholstery & Exhaust). I know, it just got here, these jobs should be quick and I wanted the work done before last winter.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I decided to sell my Whirly Jig rotisserie, we don’t need it for the C10 project. I've built body dollies from pallets in the past that work very well. Plus the majority of the metal work is done on the C10. My guess is Perks will probably use theirs when it is painted. All loaded up for a day trip to the Montana border (looks like it'll hit the back of the cab but doesn't). I’ll meet the guy and deliver his rotisserie then head for home.
And then some rework for the Camaro. The brand-spanking new upper control arm bump stops were just garbage, freaking brittle and they're hollow! I don’t get why they bothered to install this crap and not give the installer a note that they’re just for looks!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I was surprised, Geez Louise!
Better we discovered these crap parts now, it’ll be an easy fix with some new solid polyurethane bump stops. I'll also take the opportunity to change out those too-short steering bolts mentioned earlier. While waiting for the new bump stops it’s time to start narrowing the back seat for our mini tubs. I started with the backseat bottom by pulling back enough of the new cover (see note) to expose the frame. After marking it, and placing a wet towel it was time to start cutting. So far so good, haven’t ruined the cover or caught it on fire! Note: One of the first things I did after purchasing the original Camaro (it came with a complete deluxe interior kit) was to have the seats reupholstered. This was well before the new mini-tubed Real Deal Steel body was a reality.
