Since the last update the glass has been installed and adjusted. Same guy that came by and did my front and rear glass came and helped me install it.
Got the interior door handles and lock mechanism installed. Had some troubles but that seems to be the way it goes. Weatherstripping is installed around door. About to go outside and start installing the door panels and quarter panel. After that I may start on the cowl panel and lower windshield trim to finish out the outside of the car. I did manage to get the car out of the garage for a little bit on Friday. Took it to lunch with some friends. http://i.imgur.com/YlU72N4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/q4OonZV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/s6YUr4f.jpg |
Well locks and handles work. Got the door weatherstripping all done and moved to doing trunk weatherstripping and the missing cowl panel.
I asked on IG and results were very one sided. Factory (vented) cowl or aftermarket fiberglass one. Downside to vented is no wipers planned for now (will in the future) so it will have holes that are unused. Factory: http://i.imgur.com/SnPWFnw.jpg Aftermarket: http://i.imgur.com/vguFkKJ.jpg Moved on from there to work on door panels. Got my ass kicked a bit by those today. Will try again later in the week. http://i.imgur.com/W3KLdD8.jpg |
Edit cant seem to avoid massive photos. Resolving the issues on my end.

Love the seat, steering wheel and the door panels. They look perfect and it still feels like a 69 Camaro.

Other than the relief of the hits to the credit card, do you kinda of miss the crunch of the build process? It's hard for me to transition to waxing from turning wrenches.
I feel sorry for people that didn't get to see the real artistry of what lurks behind that grill |

I definitely dont miss the CC bills. I think year before last and first part of last year I had a hell of a "push" to complete the car and hit the budget hard. Everyone that says, set a budget and plan to spend 2-3x that is entirely correct. Except in my case, with the duration of the project and me changing my mind and not keeping a strict budget, I overshot my original goal by 5-6x... I still got some wrench turning but hopefully for now it's the cleaner kind that previously (ecu tuning, small things here and there). I've had my fill of the dirty work for now (on this car at least). |
