Finishing the Camaro

[chrismoe]

Hello and hope everyone is well.

Since acquiring a Camaro through this forum I have been busy “finishing” the car and thought I would post some pics of the engine bay since I am cleaning the car up for the SF Rod and Custom show next weekend. Tomorrow, the interior….

Very nice, all the bling matches nicely with the body color.

4musclemachines,

Thanks for the compliment. Yea, the car looks much better in person where you can really see the the entire package. It is coming together......

Take care,
Chris

niiiiice!

what radiator and connector hose are you running? looks awesome!

[chrismoe]

Venomous Type,

Thanks for the compliment. The radiator is from Griffin and the hoses were custom made using 1.75 inch stainless steel and then I had them HPC coated and then I polished the crud out of them.

Chris,

Lookin good!!! Where (or from what car) did you get the front seats? How do you like them in terms of ride comfort, support etc.

Chris, that is a sweet looking Camaro. Stance/wheels are great, and the interior is fantastic. Nice job

Chris, your car looks incredible. It was one of two cars that my girlfriend saw at the November Goodguys show that stopped her in her tracks. She loved it. Then I saw the name on the car and realized who's it was. Funny deal how my girlfriend loved the car. It looks awesome.

bowtieracing,

I am working late all week so by the time I get home it is already dark. I will take some interior pics on Friday at the show and post them on Friday night or Sat. at the latest.

gr86t8,

The seats are aftermarket and came from Summit. Here is the link: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

The seats were then covered in the same medium black leather with silver stitching as the rest of the interior. Please let me know if you need more info.

Brent,

Thanks for the compliment and I hope I run into you at the show this weekend. Also, not sure you remember me but we met at one of the 2002 Goodguys shows in Pleasanton. I had a blue 69 Camaro with a white hockey stripe and a 502 and I parked next to Ricochet. Remember?

Rybar,

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it.

Zbugger,

Thanks for the compliment. Actually, the car today is very different from the car you saw in Nov. Since Nov. the car has been extensively re-worked. Some of the work done includes:

Mechanical \ Under hood:
* HPC coat the supercharger mounting bracket and polishing the supercharger plates.
* Remove front pulley (chipped \ scratched) and replace.
* Remove the wiper motor and fab \ paint a custom plate.
* Replace the dipstick with a Lokar stick
* Remove the manifold and have it HPC coated (custom ported so needed to coat rather than replace).
* Remove the Moroso catch-can located on the firewall and polished it.
* Remove and HPC coat the headers
* Cover the starter motor with a heat shield
* Remove wipers and replace with billet covers
* Replace water pump with polished water pump.
* Loomed \ heat shrinked wiring
* Created some custom fender covers
*etc, etc, etc

Body \ Paint:
* Replace the door seals
* Replace the black rubber trunk seal.
* Align the passenger door (true-up gaps)
* Align the hood (true up gaps)
* Replace the stainless trim around both the front and rear windows\ have the new trim polished.
* Replace the rubber gasket around the rear window.
* Re-paint \ re-clear the car
* etc, etc, etc

The most noticeable change is, of course, the body work and new paint. Huge difference even though it is the same color. Jason at Timeless Kustoms painted the car and he did an amazing job.

Hopefully you can see the car at this weekends SF Rod and Custom Show. Let me know if you are going to make it out there.
