So I figured I needed a name for my build project 69 Camaro. I decided Asphalt Cowboy would be a good one with the help of a few members of the forum. It seems that if you live in Wyoming everyone thinks your a Cowboy and own horses or cows or something that eats hay and sh*ts in the field. Well not this guy, the closest thing I have to horses is horsepower.. The real deal.. I am updating a few pictures on my build and will give a little detail on each picture. Thanks for looking and as always the feedback.
Hideaway headlight setup, with dse motors works great. Thanks for all that gave input before I ordered this. Grille fits good. Had to do a little shimming on the lights but nothing to bad.
Built hood latch. CR racing heat exchanger was to close and also installed quick click safety latches on the top of hood.
Motor and transmission out for the 20th time.. The red board with carpet on it is a gravel creeper,, That was before we had a shop with a concrete floor.
This picture I original had the ac lines running through the firewall. I ordered a bulkhead fitting and new ac lines with the aeroquip ez clip fittings. Probably was not necessary, but that's how car guys do stuff
I showed a few people this picture of the car on the rotissierie and the said that's how it was the last time they saw it 3 years ago! I had to explain I had it running and backed out of the shop. Then tore it apart again.. Some more grinding and welding. I will be either a good welder or grinder when I am done with this car..
I shot some dp90 on the frame and bottom of the car. Then used Eastwood ceramic chassis semi gloss black, Turned out pretty good. I thought about powder coating but did not want to be at the mercy of waiting on someone else and for touch up purposes.
Sprayed the frame this morning, Will let it dry a few days, then try out the Upol Raptor stuff,, Then some shiny paint on the outside,,
for everyones advice, would be hard to build a car like this in the middle of Wy without Lateral-G!
