"The Project" Begins - Car Build

[smfcpthowdy]

I was referring to Speedorama/Motion. We are doing a "live" interior build on my car and making it interactive with the public (as all the other cars will be behind the fence). We are bringing something crazy like 16 cars to Speedorama 8-O

CDN tire should have Power Plastic. If not ask Mark for some (as Mothers is a club sponsor ).

Should work on rear light (my next project). Also remember to get some Mothers Back To Black forthe black trim. Works great (I used some on my louvers).

Why not come by the show. It at the EX (Direct Energy Centre, Toronto) from March 27th to 29. Mothers will have a display at the show

Come by and say hi so I can put a face to the name. Getting tired of always seeing the "Arthur" crowd anyway

Well I work on the 27th, but the 28th or 29th..... sound like it should be fun.
As long as it doesnt rain.

Thanks......I hear what you're saying.

We have 16 cars going to the show, all show worthy. We have the ususal - $50,000 show car, third gen TA with less than 13,000 mi on it, cars with custom graphics and ghost flames, etc....

What we wanted to do with my car was show "joe public" that not everyone has a trailer queen or a super clean newly painted car. Some of us do drive cars with some wear and tear and we build them ourselves.

We wanted to make the "live interior build"" as interactive as possible for the public. Most cars at a show are behind barriers (look but don't touch). With my car I WANT people to get close, ask questions (LOTS), put their heads inside the car. AND...if the car gets a scratch or two...not a big deal with me

Hopefully, people see how much fun and easy it is and they leave the show thinking...I can do this

Oh yea, I have a new bumper cover for the car. It will get painted and installed in the summer sometime when I get the funds together to paint the engine bay.

Bear in mind that a lot of these items are now "discontinued" and VERY hard to find (and exspensive). The power window switches for 82-89 Camaros are selling for over $60 each (if you can find them)!!!

I wanted a set of NOS kick panels for my car. I lost a bidding war on ebay. My last bid was $100.00!! I found a set a few weeks later for $60.00. They were $15 each (from year one) before they got "discontinued"
