We have more videos planed for Camaro. We've just had a time getting them in the shop or getting down to our friends shop to work on them. It is hard to figure what the cost will be. We'd recommend using the "kid before Christmas" approach: Get a National Parts Depot catalog make a list of every thing you will need, total the amount and add 40%. No that isn't a joke.
Dean that is a tough one. seats are hard to come by in restoreable condition. Best bet would e to hit swap meets in your area or save up for the frames and such and get new ones from National Parts Depot.
We have a '67 Camaro that we do work on some times but a full resto is tough right now since we have a garage chock-full-o-cars. BUT we recommend checking out TMI products line of Camaro sport seat buns and covers. They offer leather and very custom looking designs. Tell them that you heard about them from Autorestomod.
You didn't want to use electrolytic rust removal? It would save Vinnie some elbow grease (and work pretty well on the seat bases too). And if you had kept up on George's "Special T" he wouldn't have had to have the Dr. P.
So just give me an idea here, I have my 69 all torn down, the floors are good but most of the rest need attention, the engine and trans are good. What is a ball park figure on restoring this thing if I do most of it myself ? Needs new trunk floor rear quarters, radiator support panel. all the small stuff as well. thanks, great video, more stuff I needed to know. Jeff
I am going to do a resto rod on a 67 Camaro Ss. My cutomer wants interior in leather. Do you know where we can get that? Would we be better off to go with Corbeau street seats? They want this car like a new modern day camaro. They don't care about staying original. I'm thinking for really cruising a lot, they may be better and more comfortable changing the seats out, completely.
Or you could do it the easiest way, using an angle grinder+wire wheel+ glasses. It is the fastest method of all (i'm restoring my Opel rekord C, i've tried 'em all)
Hey i'm wondering if you could help me, I am looking for original looking seats for my 69 Camaro and i was wondering if you could tell me where i could get some for cheap cause this is my first car and i am tight on cash..
And yous should check into Dale Carnegie since name retention isn't your specialty. By the way, it's JEFF. And that video is nearly ten years old, and I'm still doing this Shane.
Honestly Paky that Prep & Ready from POR15 is really easy. It blew us away just how easy it was.
You know that never crossed our minds Zaraak, but it is an excellent idea...
Very informative, how do the covers install with the headrest……thank you.

When springs are rusted through, should you replace the whole spring or just sister in a new spring for a few zig-zags?
Thanks,
Honestly, I'd want to replace the whole spring. My experience with replacing a section is it never feels "right" and will not hold.
Is the por-15 full strength. I thought it was more like a paint
It is paint. So yes, it is at full strength.
