67 Camaro Build

[7dee2]

The Cuda is going to be wild, a SEMA build. Ha, you did read my mind earlier, asked Perks to squirt some epoxy to make it all one-color last fall before bringing it back home.


The Camaro was gone for 6 months, you know body shop jail. In their defense, this is a collision shop that’s slammed with insurance work each and every week. Also, they did have some personnel leave unexpectantly and had to backfill those spots. On the upside, those lucky buggers did have the pure joy of me popping in every week expecting progress! 6 months was a long time but worth it to me, as you will see in the bodywork posts coming up. Bonus, it is in the past so it’ll go by quickly in this thread. To keep moving forward I’m focusing on all the parts the body shop needs first (mainly exterior), after that it’s stuff we don’t have or that should be replaced.

When not ordering and receiving parts I had time to refurbish an old HF blast cabinet. This is one of the older models that’s riveted together and still has almost all the original parts. I’m told it's low mileage because the original finish is not blasted off on the inside. Prior to the move, I’d always borrowed a buddy’s cabinet. That’s just not practical any longer, he’s 25 miles away now and did help steer me to this one, hint, hint!
