The hockey stripes look amazing! My 2 cents- I like Chrome on these cars if they’re balanced out. Door handles, mirrors, marker lights, bumpers and window moldings. Just feels like vintage muscle. If you don’t like them you can paint them black anfterward. Are you going to do wheel and drip rail moldings? How about engine badge and shark gills? Those would be harder to remove and paint.

@allenwoolsey 5 сағат бұрын

Thanks for the compliments on the stripes. I like the idea you have of trying chrome first and then if I want, I can just paint them. I’m going to leave the drip rail trim for last to see if I want it. I won’t be doing the wheel trim or gills. Not a fan of that trim.

Man, that is looking awesome! They did a very good job and you are doing a good job too. The satin or matte black trim and everything would look killer against the candy red for sure. That's my vote. lol I am using Cerakote to paint all my bumpers and handles and trim and what-not satin black. If you paint the stuff yourself try to use a 2k product (base with a hardener/activator), preferably with ceramic, if you can. Obviously you are limited to where you are and have but maybe a good engine paint or something if you go rattlecan. It is more expensive, but they do have the 2k paint in rattlecans now that you pop the internal bladder with a stem at the bottom and it should last a day or two, depending on the product, so maybe check that out. Either way, the Camaro is looking amazing and you are doing an awesome job!

How difficult was it to remove the bushing shell from the lower control arms on the front? Did they press out or did you have to cut them out?

I had to press them out, but that wasn’t hard at all. Getting the new ones in took more time.

Looks really good! Lots of nice metal to lightly work over. And prep for paint. 🎉. About how much did it cost for the blasting on the shell??

At the time is was about $2,400 to media blast the whole car. They did the fenders, valence, skirts, etc as well.

How much did you pay for sandblasting currently looking to have what you got done. And what was the price for the body shop Would really appreciate it need to know if I’m gonna need to pull out a second mortgage 😂 awesome videos by the way brother 🤟🏻

@allenwoolsey Ай бұрын

The sandblasting was about $2,400 for the complete car and subframe. It was a little more due to using soda blasting on some parts of the car. Every body shop has a different price as far as labor and it also depends if you are keeping it stock or doing mods or need panel replacements. Plan at least $20k if you’re in CA.

@allenwoolsey 2 ай бұрын

It definitely depends on the project and your goals. For me, I had to buy 2 new doors, rear tail panel, driver rear fender skin, mini tub from DSE, raised the tunnel with the Bowler tunnel panel, patched random holes with welding, rhino raptor under the car, body work, then paint. It was well over $20k, but I had a lot more done than just a factory restore.

@allenwoolsey 3 ай бұрын

Finding the Z28 and 1LE parts weren’t super easy as I believe many of them are discontinued, but I was able to find left over stock at Rock Auto, my local Chevrolet dealer, and some random online stores. Patience and lots of phone calls were made to check actual stock. Never believe the websites when they say they are in stock, not necessarily true. Give them a call before ordering.
