The subframe and all the chassis parts were also epoxy primer and painted with Dupont Imron for a nice satin finish and high chip resistance.

While the body was being straightened for paint, the crew narrowed and modified the rear seat Springs to fit between the wheel tubs and around the quadrant link suspension mounts in the floor.

All the original Camaro trim pieces would be installed, such as the quarter panel "gills" and polished stainless trim around the windows. These pieces must be test fitted during the bodywork phase.

A skim coat of Evercoat Quantum1 body filler was applied to all the panels, and blocked sanded. Various coats of guide coat were applied to ensure that all areas were sanded smooth.

After the crew was satisfied with the straightness of the body filler, the ZR9 it was rolled into the paint booth for several coats of Evercoat Super Build 4:1 sprayable polyester filler.

We never said GM truck, I believe the movements came from a mid 90s GM car like a full size Buick. We buy the mirrors complete, then remove the innards and make mounts to fit the bullet mirrors.

This was a set we made for a '69 Chevelle:

The car looks great, the body lines are nice and crisp. I love the idea of the power mirrors. Have you done this on a few cars or is this the first one?
