Project Fool's Gold

[ParkerRS]

Well guys it has been a while coming since I work by myself and at a leasurely pace, but I'm finally getting far enough along to introduce this project. Most of my time has been spent waiting on parts to arrive, some took a few days while some took as much as six months (LD 3-link).

It's a 72 Camaro which I've named Fool's Gold due to color and I'm pretty foolish on this one budget wise I guess you could say.

Here's what I started with, just a hull that was very solid I picked up for 1K.





It's pretty solid, only had one repaint (maaco by the look and thickness of it) and very little patching needed in the floor or elsewhere. I hired Carter Hickman to do a rendering for me and can't say enough nice things about him. The rendering will be very close to the finished product with some slight massageing to the stripe and maybe a few other small things that I've rethought. Here is the final rendering comp from Carter.



I started by sandblasting the floor sections inside and out along with the wheelwells. I then did the few floor patches and installed the DSE mini-tubs. You can see the install in detail here http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showth...ni-tub+install

After the mini-tub I installed the Lateral Dynamics 3-link. Please excuse the qaulity of the pics I've been shooting with no flash or tri-pod I promise to do better LOL.
