Interior thus far

Making some slow progress on the car of late. Fuel tank is in, wheel dimensions are all measured out (wheel/tire story to come later), and the wiring is about done.

Here’s the interior as of today-

Obviously will fix the Momo center cap rotation before all is done. 🙂

Glove box is in, blanking panel for the center is ready. Hole for shifter is cut. You can see the carpet hanging in the back left, it needs to stretch out a bit before it can go in.

Still have much to do here. Have all new window mechanisms to install, can be arduous to get everything aligned. Gauges to do too, have a fun surprise in store there. Haven’t really liked any of the gauge setups I’ve seen in these cars thus far.  Mine wlll be different, if nothing else…

  1. The car is coming along nicely, even a close color to my 67.

    Couple of things I noticed looking at some old posts, and they may be completely irrelevant because it is hard to see from the pictures.

    The panhard mounts and sway bar links may be a limit on how low you can run the rear. A Camaro typically has enough room in the rear wheelwells to bottom the axle into the floorpan without rubbing the tires. It depends on the courses obviously, but you might need to address possible interferences at full bump.

    The sway bar hardware in the front may also be a steering limiter, especially with wide tires and a lot of backspace on the wheels. There really isn’t much extra room for such a large car.

    How much trimming/rolling of the front fender lips are allowed by the rules?
