Just when I thought I will be able to finish it up, I hit a snag.
I finished sanding the metal and painted the sections I wanted black.
I cleared it and the clear came out much glossier than I wanted so I had to sand it all off and start again.
Today I cleared it with a matte clear and it came out with just the finish I wanted.
Now I just have to put it together. The end is in sight!!!!!

Well, I cleared it again and all these white dots are appearing all over the bare metal sections.
Read up on clearing bare metal(I know, a little late) seems to be a lot more involved then I thought.
Oh well, another lesson learned. Tryed it one more time.
Same thing happens and it will be painted satin black to match the rest of the interior.
I need to to start other sections of the car and stop messing around with the console.
Just ordered Chassis Max Handle Bars from Hotchkis.
Another piece of the suspension puzzle on order.

Got a chance to work on the Camaro today.
The Lokar shifter & linkage was pretty easy to install.
Had to cut a slot in the floor for the shifter lever.
I need to make some kind of rubber gasket to keep anything from coming inside.
I'm thinking just a piece of rubber with a slit in it so the linkage lever can fit through it.
Now for the shift indicator sensor and linkage.

Spent the morning under the car and got the Lokar shifter sensor module hooked up and wired today.
Also, Hotchkis upper control arms came in today.
Leaf springs are on their way. Getting closer everyday.
These 70’s Camaros such cool cars. Great build!
