Re: Did Bill Thomas build Camaros outside NICKEY??
 
I have not been on in ages or messed with this car in ages also, I went ahead and painted it last weekend and decided I better get it back together sometime before I am 80.. don't mind the brass fittings on engine I had the water pump disconnected and ran it on the hose before I put the front clip on, engine had been sitting 6 years I figured I better make sure it was fine. One of these years Ill pop in and it might actually be finished...

I sprayed it in PPG single stage enamel I wanted to stay with single stage just to be more old school with the build I sprayed trunk and jambs cowl area with the car so no lines to buff out, seeing it in color might keep me motivated... I hope..

I've shot a lot of DuPont Centari w/gloss improver and have had excellent results.

I actually had a hard time getting single stage here I had to order it in, but I was mind set that's what I wanted.

Time to change your screen name. Does not look like a beater anymore! Looks good!

If it's not metallic I shoot single stage, I don't like the way the clear looks over a solid color.

Just about done with the firewall decided to fire up the engine before hanging front clip, I run a hose into the water pump and out the intake (grey hoses) for cooling while I was running it, I like my fingers....

I was wondering about this car a week or two ago, thanks for the cool updates!
Have you sent in for the NCRS dealer info yet...it may offer nothing more than a clue to the history but worthwhile for all it costs also help you decide how to fill your dealer emblem holes?
