82-92 Camaro Interior upgrades

[@chrismurphy880]

Okay, I got my to-do list for my 92 RS!. Fantastic job, sir.

[@ceegee3514]

This has officially reignited my need for a 3rd gen. Thank you sir. Btw great job on that interior.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you

[@shama6046]

Thanks for the reply . Look forward to seeing some of the new videos !!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

No problem at all. Thanks 👍

[@Baby_Suge]

Great job! Thanks for the post! I just bought a 1988 Iroc t top and I'll be following some of you advice.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Roger Maldonado thank you and glad i could help

[@malcolmmok08]

your microphone man good god

[@TonyTheTechnician]

AAARRRGG lmao ya this is an old video and the voice over was using my computer Mic and it is garbage as you can tell haha.

[@youngc9580]

Did a rear seat delete and now I’m going to build a ported box and put a 15 inch Subwoofer behind the passenger!🔥

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Young C very nice!!!

[@ScarabChris]

Thanks for the tip on the roofing tape. I'm getting ready to put new carpet in my 87 GTA and was going to buy a bunch of Dynamat. The roofing tape will save me some money.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

ScarabChris thank you I’m glad you found it helpful. Ya the roofing tape will save you a lot of money when comparing it to dynamat. Just make sure to clean the dust and dirt off everything your applying it too

[@DayNNyteDJs]

Great video. I just bought an 88 IROC convertible with 56,000 miles. Interior is perfect, but stinks. I will probably have to pull it out and might follow your advice on soundproofing and love the idea for the sub box.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you very nice sounds like a good ride. I'm sure you will get it cleaned up nicely.

[@vickikgibson9470]

So here is a tip when finishing up upholstery...steam it! Takes out the wrinkles and makes it curve to the surfaces.:) Hope those seats are getting changed too! not a great colour at all!LOL

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Lol yes indeed. They were swapped soon after this video was recorded 👍

[@Likes_to_spoon]

You've sparked my desire for a Z28. Great job with the interior. I have so many questions about how you did this.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks I appreciate it 👍

ICE CREAM COW BOYZ yes i agree with you. and thank you

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

console,not "city council"

[@ffcorona]

I bought the precut carpet for the front of my '91 Camaro on eBay and asked a local auto upholstery what they charged to install it. They wanted $100 and I said hell no. Too make a long story short I would have paid twice of what they wanted if I'd known the hassle it took to install it.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

OSUM C6 ya I know exactly what you mean. It was not fun or easy and mine still isn’t installed exactly how it should be. But now I know lol

[@irocitZ]

Actually $100 doesn't sound all that bad, I know its time consuming. Carpet is on my list, I may see what local upholstery shops near me change. I'm thinking it might be worth it, I'd like to have brand new carpet but I just don't have all day to install it, we'll see.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

idiot ,what the fuck is $100.now you probably have a car that looks like ass,spent 10 hours doing it and cut several corners..

[@Airmarty23]

Super dope video man nice car

Thank you!

Hey Tony, where did you get the 6x9 speaker plates from?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

These are from scosche I believe. They were in it when I bought the car

BackDraft_147_1333 thank you and mine has been fun for the last couple of years haven’t ever smelt anything but I will keep that in mind. Thank you

[@tonyf8358]

Im confused. You did a great job but you ignored the back Wheel tubs? 90% of road noise comes from that part!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

The wheel tubs already have an inch of padding on them.

[@Woodscraps-lr5vz]

Thanks for making these videos. I'm hoping to get back into a 3rd gen at some point and would like to do some updates as well.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Still restoring my 86 got the t top fixed and most of the rust patched

Pinkamena Diane Pie nice!! I just got mine moved into the new house and have the new trans but no tools yet to install it lol

[@cimism610]

Just go find one thats rust free. Thats what i did. Saves hours of time and money😀

[@andrewernst3884]

Have you done an update video on this since it's been 5 years I was curious how it all worked out with the subs and leds n etc

Can the speakers pannels could be on leather?

I wanna take all my interior out and sand everything the same u did . What materials / sand paper do I need ? Thanks

What kind of steering wheel do you have the chrome one?

No I had a grant gt but now I have the cleetus mcfarland mpi steering wheel

[@Master_Chief_]

Could you perhaps do a video on the box you built to replace the rear seats? I would really like to do that to my 83 Berlinetta

Reaper when I get the camaro to the new house I will try to make a video on dimensions and how I went about it

@@TonyTheTechnician that would be very much appreciated!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Reaper 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

take out the seat ,get a measuring tape and get creative.make sure it can be fully reversed

[@BallisticGhast6]

What grit sandpaper did you use to scrape off the old paint? I have the same issue of the previous owner painting everything in the car (even the fabric parts too)

[@TonyTheTechnician]

If I remember correctly I started with like 800 then 1000 then like 1200. I can't remember exactly but I know it was fine sand paper and I continued to soak the sand paper and wet sand it. I didn't get all the old paint off just a majority. Just Enough to get the paint to adhere good to the pieces.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@markthompson5803 I'm not sure. Hear is the only video I see and it's t tops. I would suggest pulling a pillars down. Then pulling back side plastics where the speakers are. Then slowly pull around outside edges. There will be clips holding it in. Here is the link for the video I found but idk how helpful it will be. Best of luck. Sorry I couldn't help more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWkpJR7nNSDbLM

[@shama6046]

Hell thank you for making all these videos.!! Their great. I’m slowly watching all your vids here and there going to get started on my 1987 z28. It’s been sitting far too long. When you wet sanded what was the materials you used ? Thanks

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks glad you enjoyed. I'll be making more videos soon I need to do more to mine and get it on the road again. The wet sanding was just alot of water and high grit sand paper. I want to say I used 1000 to 3000. It's been along time since then. Then after that I used a primer/paint adhesive spray. Then after that I coated everything with a few layers of vinyl and fabric paint. Non gloss.

[@AndrewM.5]

How is the vinyl and fabric paint holding up after 4 years?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

It has held up great only area I have an issue is the passenger door hangs and scraps the panel across the bottom but as soon as I fix the door and repaint it. It will be fine

[@samus4799]

I cant believe this exists.

[@Official_Jboogie]

I’m working on a $150 dollar budget, is there any sites where I can find front and back carpet for my 82 camaro

[@chasemccleave3854]

What paint did u use for the plastic panels?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Chase McCleave its called Vinyl and fabric paint. you should be able to get it at any autozone, O'Reilly or advanced auto store. I started by wet sanding all the parts then used a coat of paint adhesive and then applied the paint. and it comes out very very nicely.

[@JasonMisterDude]

Where did you get the insulation/what is it called? Links?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

JasonMisterDude get the aluminum tar tape from Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s used for patching roofs. Then the other insulation is the NASA insulation found on eBay.

[@ericascott1649]

How much to redo my interior in the trunk and bulid a backseat boc?

[@ericascott1649]

Everything black

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I would say 30 or 40 in wood materials with screws. Maybe 15 in fabric and adhesive for the wood. So under 100. Then if you wanted all new carpet in the rear it's an additional 120

[@TonyTheTechnician]

And to redo the panels it's probably 30 or so if you just wet sand the pieces and get vinyl and fabric paint and repaint them

carpet aint no joke xD

[@Wilson_Racing]

You know that you only need 25% coverage with the foil backed tar paper right? You dont get any additional benefits from 100% coverage. You wasted a bunch of it in the hatch for no reason

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Not true, depends on what your using it for,. As far as coverage for panel vibration noise itself yes. But these are also used for many other uses. Round square corners inside of vehicle and boxes to better direct noise, used to help reduce exterior vehicle noises and also a good additional insulator to help control temps inside of a vehicle. So I wouldn't say it's for no reason.
