Global west body bushing and subframe connector kit.
Interior:
Headrest were removed and driver’s seat was mounted back for a tall man (can be put in factory mounts). The rear
seat is orignal. Front and rear seats were wrapped in charcoal leather (not vinyl), and sewn/seamed to match the
1969 style. The front seats have integrated 3 point seatbelts. The rear has 3 new GM lap belts. The leather is in
good shape, and shows normal wear fro 3 years of use. The car smells good inside.
Classic Air Industries R-134A ac unit with heater core was added. The unit was inspected and blows cold and fast.
New high loop black carpet installed with front and rear door panels,headliner, and majority of the rubber was
replaced, (although some is orignal)
Painless wiring fuse block (modern) and flashers were installed with all new wiring from the front to the rear of
the car.
Retro Sound AM/FM/AUX stereo with Kicker speakers and crossovers give plenty of sound from the rear deck. There are
no front speakers. It is not my place to cut holes in kick panels or doors. The sound system is plenty good. The
antenna is hidden under the dash board and no external antenna is present.
All dashboard indicators work,turn signals,high beams, and HVAC also work flawlessly.
Center console is original, but is functional and painted black (to eliminate the wood drain). Glove box has a new
insert, and ashtray/lighter are also new. Rear ashtray was glued shut ( common fix for metal or metal rattles). It
also needs a new dome light lens (also original).
Body:
New front clip sheet metal from AMD. Flat painted Spoiler from AMD. All other metal appears original from the doors
back. The car was blasted, body worked, block sanded, and coated in red sealer and topped with GM tuxedo Black 3
times and a single coat of PPG clear. The car was wet sanded and buffed.
Thé side glass is original. The front rear windshield are new installs (glued not gasket).
There are a few flaws in the paint, they are all very minor in my option:
Passenger front fender: A rock from the freeway landed in the middle top of the fender. The metal is not dinged,
but it did take off to the primer. It was filled with touch up paint, and looks acceptable. It was lightly color
sanded and buffed, and cloud use another pass.
Thé driver’s door has a revers ding above the handle. The car was slim-jammed after keys were locked in by a bad
tow man. The ding can be removed, but the entire interior panel shells are covered in sound deadening materials and
is very labor intensive to remove.
There are some paint chips from normal use on the car, but they are very inconspicuous.
The floor pan had a layer of undercoating applied, and new drain plugs installed. Everything under the car appears
correct and true, as does the subframe, cables, cross members, mounts, and cables.
As mentioned before, the interior had sound deadening materials placed from the front to the rear, floor to the
roof. It is a generic “Dynamat“, but just as thick.
The trunk pan is original, and was re-painted upon restoration with gray splatter style fleck.
All emblem holes were welded and filled. The front nose Camaro emblem was powder coated black. All chrome trim was
painted black (bumpers, window molding, hard ware). All stainless trim was brushed stainless (grill and window
channels). The rain gutters were painted black. All new corner light with black bezels. Original rear tail lights.
Door handles were painted black, as well as the side view mirrors.
The body gaps are very clean, the doors,trunk, and hood close with one swing.

Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

Recharge Wrap-up: Lexus CT 200h is NWAPA's favorite hybrid, 'No Charge to Charge' in LA
Thu, Jul 24 2014The Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) has given the Lexus CT 200h its Favorite Hybrid title. It named the compact luxury hybrid its favorite of 2014 at its Drive Revolution in Portland (where it also named the new Volkswagen Golf TDI the Northwest Green Car of the Year). According to NWAPA president Nik Miles, the CT 200h earned the honor for "impressive combination of state-of-the-art small car luxury and hybrid technology." For 2014, the Lexus CT200h got an updated front end, including the spindle grille we've been seeing on new Lexus vehicles, plus a redesigned steering wheel and sliding sun visors. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet credits the Malibu for helping make stop-start mainstream. Chevrolet started including stop-start technology standard in Malibus equipped with the four-cylinder engine. Chevy has sold about 83,000 of that model, so 97 percent of 2014 and 2015 Malibu sales include stop-start. Now, that technology has made its way into the 2015 Impala. With drivers idling an average of 16 minutes a day, stop-start can significantly reduce harmful emissions and save fuel. According to Navigant Research, we can expect annual sales of cars equipped with stop-start technology to surpass 55 million by 2022. Read more in the press release below. Nissan Leaf customers in Los Angeles will get access to free charging beginning August 15. Nissan is extending its "No Charge to Charge" promotion to LA, which will allow customers to charge at public charging stations at no cost. Leaf customers - including those who bought or leased their car from the participating dealerships on or after July 1 - will get an EZ-Charge card, allowing them to use ChargePoint, Blink, CarCharging, AeroVironment and NRG eVgo chargers for free. Rapid chargers can charge the Leaf's battery to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Nissan plans to offer the "No Charge to Charge" in at least 14 more markets in the US, bringing the total to 25, within the next year. See the press release below for more details. California will get six all-electric school buses for three school districts as part of a demonstration program. The California Energy Commission awarded a grant of $1.4 million for the program to National Strategies LLC; this is in addition to a $2.2-million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The EV buses use vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing them to sell energy back to the grid when it is needed.
GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
