25.3 Outlaw Drag Radial Camaro Build by Eddie Krawiec

6 minute(s) of a 217 minute read

Getting paint onto it sure is exciting. The car was built and everything mocked and fitted like the brake lines, fire system and wire harness so it should lay out rather quick and easy. Just some little things needed final fit but no fab work should be needed. Hopefully I will have some more pictures after the holidays.

Thanks

Hey guys. I hope it's warm wherever you are but in Indy the high temperature in the last 3 days has been -6 and as cold as -18 degrees so I thought it would be great to make a quick post. We do have a warming trend starting to happen today but I still will not call 9 degrees a heat wave but I will take it.

DMC has been hard at work getting the final things done to car and putting stuff back together as they go. They got hit with a bad snow storm last week as well so it slowed some things down a bit but it looks more like a car everyday. They have been working on the inside trying to get all the stuff and installed. Before that could be done it needed some paint work done and that is what I thought would be great to get posted today.

The inside of the car is going to be sprayed in a satin black. We also chose a satin black powdercoat for all the charge tubes, mounts etc.... inside to help keep it looking clean and allow a lot of stuff to blend in. We wanted it to look stealth. The nice thing should be when you look inside the car the parts are not just going to stick out but hopefully blend right in together.

Here is Pete blowing it all off after a little sanding and scuffing of the tubes



Here is how the inside paint looked when Pete was finished with it.









Just a up close of the finish & color



The carpet laid out to help the wrinkles flatten out a little



Hopefully I can get some stuff from Dennis in the next few days and I will post them as soon as I do. I know it doesn't show much but it shows progress and things are getting close.

Well I left off the other day with the carpet getting layed out so the wrinkles could smooth out in it. While that was happening the next step was to get the interior parts and start trimming them to fit in the areas that were no longer stock. The big area was in the rear around the wheel tubs. The key was to take some time and make sure nothing was over cut since you can't go and just add it back on. After a little bit of time this is what they looked like fit into place.

Next was to get the carpet laid onto the tubs





Following that was to get the carpet into the back half of the car. Everything was covered in the back that could be seen to make sure the car has that clean look to it. It takes a good bit of time to make sure you can get into the cracks but the time was well worth it. Here is how it came out.







Now moving onto the front half of the car. The hard part here is getting it to forum onto the trans tunnel and not bunch up and lay smooth. This was the result







As the carpet was just getting finished up some powdercoated stuff showed up



It was a great time to throw the ice tank into it's spot to see how it would look



Since a few extra powdercoated parts came in for the front end it was time to button up all the front suspension from Midwest Chassis. Here is a picture of how it looks all bolted in



Once I get the pictures of the charge tubes etc... all installed I will post up the completed interior pictures. I will try my best to keep you guys updated.
Thanks Ed
