Started sanding the front clip and fenders to prep them for priming and painting. Its gonna get painted white. Top will stay black along with the "eyes" for the headlights. Will have pics soon. Hopefully primered at the least haha

So im slowly discovering things that might make the body junk. I knew about the bit of damage to the pinch weld under the drivers door, i think the guy went curb hopping and then sold it (for 2400 it was worth the engine and tranny and everything minus the body lol). Turns out the drivers rear quater is starting to rust in a small 1 inch by 1 inch patch bottom left of the gas cap. Any one seen a clean 95 or before camaro shell. Im sure ill have to rent a trailor and pick one up from the south, but if anyone has seen one let me know. I need to have one of you guys look at the pinch weld and see what you think. It drives stright and don't think there was any real frame damage just astictics, ill take a pic later and post it up.

Yea, this spot is small and ill easly just cut it out and patch it, but, being a new england car its time is already #ed. Ill poke around on southern craigs list. I never intended to keep this body, but expected to keep it a smidge longer. So next season I'll hopefully transfer everything to a new body.

Heh, our 95 has a clean body

Beyond that I'll keep my eyes open

Was bored today and with the quabbin cruise coming up wanted to make sure i could listen to CDs and not the raido for the 5+ hour trip on sunday.

Just got done wiring in a new head unit (well old but new to the camaro) and two s series alpines that the kid who sold me my civic forgot to take out. My stock head unit quit playing cds and a couple of the bose speakers were blown. Wired up the 12vs and ground and ran new speaker wire to the front speakers.

Took all of a 3 hours working at a turtles pace.

For being very under powered 15 rms on head unit vs 50 rms on speakers, sound alot clearer. Gotta pick up a 2 channel and mono amp and a 12" sub and ill be good to go. Will be so glad to have a system back. Cant stand being able to look out my rear view while listening to music...
