Decided to cover the fiberglass dash pad that we got from Greening Auto.

Just the final few items on the interior and this project should be ready for the road.

I will get some shots of it outside soon.
Enjoy the progress shots.

The interior looks great.

ps Why did you have post a picture of the dash recovered. Kenny is not going to be happy when I ask him if it's to late.

Ed.Capen 07-17-2013 09:55 AM

Marty, Sorry It just looks great covered. Kenny can take it out to have it covered, he won't even charge you for that!!!

Glad you like it. Didn't see you at Columbus but was told you were there with no car....

I just sent Kenny a Text. Maybe you can send him one telling him it's your idea and just maybe we could get the dash covered before it goes in.

Yep I ran into John Druman as we were walking in my buddy David met him about two weeks ago. He took care of and it was greatly appreciated.

ps I only took 1,000 pics this year and I know Mick also took a bunch so we should have maybe 2,000 pics to share with everyone.

Here is my GG Thread:

Marty, Yes I saw the Goodguys thread, the pictures look great. I am not sure how we missed eachother as I saw Kenny a couple of times, like you can miss him. :fluffy:

See you next time, and get that camaro done for the Texas Road Tour as I will be leading that tour with the Goodguys Yellow Camaro.
Join the fun..

I know Kenny is trying for GG Indy but his new body shop is keeping him really busy and I'm not in a hurry.

Ed.Capen 07-30-2013 07:13 AM

Thanks for the comments on the Camaro. Well it is ready for test drive and then I will get some better photo's of it outside and post them. This has been a cool project to get going and finish now the fun part driving this Camaro and AutoCrossing it.....:thumbsup:
Ed

Ed.Capen 08-17-2013 06:07 PM

Well it is that time. I just drove the Camaro for the first time in seven years!

This car has come a long ways over the last year or two and I am going to enjoy it for many years. There is so many small things that were done to this car to make it just the way I wanted.

Here is a few pictures of the car after the first test drive...:hapdance:

Great job, sits nice and the dash looks perfect with the light stitching. Will you have it in Pleasanton later this month?

WSSix 08-17-2013 06:59 PM

Turned out really nice, Ed. Enjoy your driving!

Rick D 08-17-2013 07:22 PM

Wow Ed, man did this ever turn out awesome!!!

I had to go back and look at all the pictures again:trophy-1302:

Question for you, we'll a few?

What size rear tire are you running?

Did you mini tub it?

What rear DSE suspension did you use?

I love how it sits.

Rick, Thanks for the comments, The Car does not have any mini tubs. It does have the DSE rear leaf spring and staggered leaf spring ends. The tires are 245/45-18 on the front and 285/35-19 on the rear. Could of got a 295 under the rear but at the time they did not have any in that size.
The front is all DSE control arms and springs. The ride is great just like a new car. Loved it over the weekend.
:thankyou: Ed

Now you want his rear spoiler to go with your bad azz front spoiler?? Kenny's never going to get it done if you keep changing things.

Nope my low rear spoiler is complete and in 3 pieces. He had to cut it to clear the bike.

I'm thinking you need this rear spoiler for your car.

Marty, Glad you and the rest of the guys like the rear spoiler, I myself did not like the tall one that came on a 70 and I could not find a short one that fit real well so I made my version of the smaller than short spoiler.

Marty, Just let Kenny finish the Camaro so it will be in Texas!!!

Thanks for all the comments on the Camaro as it is great to have one project done and driving it. Now I have to get the others done...:whistling:
