Great looking Camino, Brick! On some cars, you just cant beat the look of a Crager SS. I had a 71 Camino, same color, just no vinyl top.

Brick it is one clean and sharp car .


Dave i totally agree for the late 60's and early 70's

Well did some more here finished up door skin and got the door back on , Tiawan skin is far off for me . I'm going to end up grinding and welding edges at fender to door to get the line i want >

The import stuff has a decent price, but the lines aren't right most of the time.... Went through the same issues putting the panels on the Ranchero...One side, I believe the left, had a very soft break, the other side had a sharp break...worn out molds, i suppose..... Anyway, I figure it gives a guy a place to start, anyhow.....

Dave i see that some place to start in this panel . Was at the neighbors getting him going and his left door panel on a 65 fit like a glove to the frame . This one on the 67 was too long and leaves almost no gap at the fender in the middle . Come on over and let me show you what i mean LOL .

Hmmmm. Sounds like the '67 Mustang panels fit my Ranchero closer then they did your Mustang!!!!!!

Finally done with my son's Firebird. We put the interior in today and he's ready to cruise. I dont have any pics before we gutted it but suffice to say is was pretty tore up. He picked out everything himself; black headliner and carpet, two tone seat covers, black seatbelts and left all the gray trim. I think it came out pretty sharp.

a few more

a few more. We also put in some new tunes for him. I'm proud of him; worked his butt off without complaining and even helped me clean up. Finally, back to the Plymouth.

The interior came out very nice! They should leave you alone for at least a couple of weeks now!!!!!!!!

Nice work! I like the two tone grey and black! Your son now has one stylin ride.

Maybe for only a few hours might get a couple days but we love them anyway .

Big change to the interior made a big difference in looks . Got to be making him feel real good running around in it .

Nicely done Falcon and the kid did good huh! Very cool. Now back to your fun huh?
Nice work on the skins Bobby, even though it takes more time I guess we all have budgets so we compromise. Won't be long befor you'll be laying down some paint huh?
I am going to be really lucky on my Dart build because my buddy has 30 is his field so parts will be no problem. I can't wait to get started.

Brick the skin was $59 when i got it and they haven't went up much since . Alot easier then trying to fix that door skin . Small area's and me can get along but them big ones drive me crazy and i just keep working them .

Too late, my daughter called about an hour ago and said, "Daddy, my car failed inspection, it needs a wheel hub bearing and some kind of tie rod thingy, Can you PLEASE fix it for me this week?" It never ends.......

OK, now my daughter's car is done, too. I think I need to have a word with the inspection station she took this to. I put a new wheel hub assembly on but I cant find a thing wrong with the one they said was bad; just as tight and smooth as the new one. I think they saw a woman coming and figured she wouldn't know any better. They're repair estimate was $450 and the parts cost me $130.
