67 Camaro. The blue bomber *EDIT* Now the green machine NOT DONE! Final edition


Recommended Posts

So ever finished a project and as soon as you were done, you wished you could have done parts of it differently? When I finished this car, the owner was giddy with excitement. We had exceeded his expectations every way possible. So it was no surprise that shortly after he got the car back, he wanted to upgrade all the other aspects of the car that he had originally done himself. It went off to get some engine work done, and it wasn't too long before it was a full blown horsepower upgrade. Once that was finished, it went off to paint. While it was in paint, I got the call about making the 8's bang a little harder, and maybe add some processing. It's wan't too long before we were talking all out upgrade. While he was more then happy with it's look, there was a few things that I always thought I could have pushed my abilities on. Now I have that chance to improve and once again exceed the owners expectations.
Since Rusty hasn't finished production on my 600.2 ;) I am forced to use another 175.4 bridged to the 8's we are also adding in the Alpine imprint processor. It's simple enough to keep him out of trouble while having enough features to tune the car the way we want. Since the car is now green, the blue lights must go. Unlike last time, I don't have unlimited time on this as he wants to unveil it at his birthday party the weekend of the 27th.

First order of business is to clean up the look on the 4th order. while the black carpet and plexi window worked. It lacked style.

Made a trim panel to sandwich between the baffle and plexi side. Stacked a couple guides for some router work

Cut out and ready to be wrapped. Simple way to flush mount the sub while adding detail to the inside of the box. Once the front is back on, there won't be much of this to be seen, but a closer look in will show the time taken to make sure every part is detailed.

Quick mock up of what 2 XS Power D925's will do to the space in both sides of the trunk.

It's a tight fit.... real tight but a 175.4 will fit over the batteries on both sides of the trunk.

Once the 4 925's come in, i can make final adjustments to the amp racks to be covered.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I was very happy with about 80% of how the doors came out. It was difficult to have 3 layers of material in a panel that could only be 1/4" thick. The part I was most unhappy about was how the material wrapped at the corners. I didn't know how I wanted to take that on until was balls deep into wrapping them. while the car was in paint, the drivers door ended up being replaced. Prefect excuse to redo the panels and see if I can trick them out a little more.

I really liked the arch flush mount at the mid. and the pleats in the suede are a must again. The way all the materials transition to each other needs to be a little better. What we have here is layers. Layer one is the base on 1/8 thick wood. layer 2 is 1/2" shaped down to 1/4" thick with a profile .

Once I liked the design. We cut out all the #1 so it could be used as a template.

This is what is left over.

With the help of this big boy bit. we rounded over at 1.5"

Leaving us with a little over the 1/4 with a slope to nothing.

Then we routered out a little spot to add in a little metal accent. The metal will be painted black to match the rest of the black on the car.

Should work out well once its painted.
