69 Camaro Project - Dead Pool

[Ron in SoCal]

Thanks for all the laughs and compliments fellas!

The material is amazing. Looks like swede and is made of leather, but it's soft to the touch and very lightweight. I saw it on another car and decided it was a nice touch. There is bendable balsa under it and and thin layer of foam.

The rest of the car is high-end Mercedes carpet and leather to match texture of the seats. Maybe it'll get my car on TV, lol ...(JK - I could care less about that)

The next car will have aluminum and carbon fiber interior panels, no carpet

What part # in the Camaro catalogue was that option?

I found it in the Lincoln catalogue, cause Fords don't go there

So you really are building a "PRO TOURING" car

Thin balsa is cut out for the doors, qtrs, kicks and speaker shelf:

Phew! I'm glad I read the whole post. At first I thought you were going for the early 80's mobile home paneling look when I saw this picture and I was thinking these drapes would go well with the kicks. Maybe as a nice divider between you and your poor passenger.




Seriously though, sounds like you are getting down to brass tacks. I'm excited for my promised burnout vid.

Yeah I know Dave. I thought that was pretty stupid to put in writing after typing out on my phone. I am a low-end guy anyway, so thanks for pointing it out.

I knew you had old wood paneling in the house OBWK! Carpet matches the drapes too! Thx for the comment Bro and hope you're doing well

Looks like you got a few more days to go until Tuesday gets here.

Sheeatt, I ain't even got drapes....or curtains.....or neighbors within a half a mile that could look in my windows and see my pantsless ass watching T.V. LOL

Here's to living in the boonies!


Parts are coming in for my car every day. (AC showed up today) Now that winter is FINALLY winding down around here I should be able to actually work on it too.
