81 Camaro

Here are some PICS of the install we’re finishing up this week, just seats, window tint, and a few small trim pieces to put back in. This is a good example of a three week project. I spent about a fourth of that time restoring and/or modifying some of the factory pieces that were not going to be totally fabricated from scratch. Doing this helps keep the cost and the turnover time of the install down, but still give a custom look.






Rear fill comes from the fiberglass pods that I molded into the factory rear panels. The dash and trim pieces are factory, wrapped in flat finish vinyl. The dash is accented with perfed black vinyl around the aftermarket gauges. The console is also factory, wrapped in padded vinyl with a custom fabricated arm rest and storage compartment.

The doors were completely custom fabricated. I went with a 80’s sporty look for the doors. The fiberglass speaker pods are flush mounted in the MDF and fiberglass panels with a black perf insert. The arm rest is constructed of laminate bent wood. The mounting bolts are recessed and fiberglassed into the arm rest and run through the panel then into the door skin with custom fabricated mounting plate steel brackets.
