More and More BodyWork. Today I was able to spray another coat of primer, to see that it isn't ready for paint yet. Looks good from long distance, but when looking closer, it's not that good yet.

I've been thinking of buying Spray Filler for this build Never tried it, but others have used it and they say that it's good stuff. Well let's see.

My favorite part the interior i just need to finish hinging the seat and scratch make some valves for the nos.the seat will completly conceal all that extra power.

Well the time has come and time has gone by and the daytona was thissss close, :huh: Life happens and good intentions with some 2k clear and some sanding and buffing lead to a trunk lid needing repainted . and I felt that to walk away was better but getting bck to it the guys in the dyno room blew up the dohc hemi and the viper engine so we got nowhere fast . so now is time to re-engineer the front suspension and get it done . Sorry i didnt make the start will be waiting for the finish

Hey guys, are you already in Long Beach, has the race even started or are you somewhere between the start and Finish lines? :lol: So this means that I haven't seen the vote, did I miss it or if I didn't, what was the result?

My Camaro is Finally BLACK! :D I thought that it was smooth enough and decided to shoot some color on it. Hopefully I can clear coat it tomorrow to make it shine.

Today I got some clear on the body. It looks pretty good now, well it of course needs polishing, but otherwise I like it. Now I will let it dry maybe a Week or so, and then start the polishing process. I might work on the details that time.

I got the Camaro polished this Morning. It looks pretty good I guess. Still needs to polish the Hood and paint window trims Flat Black, paint body from down side and then put the glasses in. My goal is to have the body and chassis together Tomorrow.

I painted the Window Trims Flat Black and body from downside is Flat Black too. Then I installed the Windows, put few License Plates to the interior so they can be changed during the Rally so Polices will be having hard time finding this car. :lol: Then I put the Interior and Body together. Now I need to add few parts and minor details, then body and chassis together and the Final update before Under Glass.

The Final Update before Under Glass. I got the body and chassis together, they fit nicely and needed just a little glue. The Grille is installed, too. Now there is left only few parts, like the Mirrors, Door Handles, Register Plate, a few Wires and then it's done. Hood is polished now, too.
