Had some time to steel wool/rubbing compound all the original stainless trim!
What a difference it made! I spent the last two days working on things like all the window trim (front and back), rocker panel moldings, hood and fender trim and anything I could find to make pretty!...
Finished the steel wool off using Mothers Metal Polish! Wow! What a difference this trim is going to make....
Also had some time to measure and drill the screws for the clips that hold the front and rear trim! Thanks Dane Belden Engineering for all your documentation! What a help that is!...

Can you tell me the wheel and tire sizes? LOVE the stance.

What springs front and rear? I see it has air shocks.

Thanks, loved reading every page!

The moldings look new ! Good trick, I too will be needing to that.

Here are a few shots of what I got done yesterday. Installed a chin spoiler on the valance, finished painting the grill emblem, laid out the new headliner, ran the stereo wires & the console lighting wires (That I forgot to run before I had the carpet and console installed)...
THEN, I had some "Admiration Time"....One never wants to forget THAT!..

Worked yesterday installing new studs & window clips on the LeMans.
Thanks again Dane Belden for a great experience doing business with Belden Speed & Engineering 💙

I received my latest headliner from REM. I had it laid out and measured it before cutting the loops to install the bows.
Now have it installed with the clips. This one is a winner! ...
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Ames Performance for not only taking care of their customers, but a huge shout out to Jeremiah and Adam. Whom without my working with them on this headliner issue, would have been nearly impossible to get to this GREAT result!...
Also kudos to REM as they digested our findings and simply sent a new one to my doorstep!...

Thanks HWY,
I thought this stereo would make a great piece for the interior! I can't wait to get her done and do me some cruisin'....."Blu BiYu" Style...

[HWYSTR455]

I hope to get out there in the garage this weekend and do my headliner, fingers crossed.

[Kurt L71S]

You tube video.... https://youtu.be/QHuuWYq6ufo https://youtu.be/sHqVzPAm6dI GREAT videos!!...
Take a break....
Lay out headliner and bows....
Measure 3 times....
Cut loops for bows.....
Take a break...
Install Headliner....
Stretch end to end....
Stretch side to side....
Let it be overnight....
Stretch again both ways....
And before you know it.....It will look GREAT!!...

Worked today on securing the Pioneer AM/FM-8 Track Stereo to the console. Back in the day when ordering an 8 Track with a console car, the factory installed one of these brackets that was placed between the floor board and the console. This allowed the Stereo bracket to be bolted to the top of the console and not break it to pieces...��..

Some of what was going on today in the shop. Glued the headliner into place, prepped and painted the windlace and headrests. Painted them Pearl to match the seats and door panels. Also installed the Pioneer 6x9 3 way speakers...
Light at the end of the tunnel?..

[Kurt L71S]

Today's Wish List...Have the headliner in completely, have the A Pillar trim along with all the Windlace installed...reinstall the console...and Pioneer am/fm 8 track stereo....Let the tunes begin!!
Will be ready to have Clark Gick order the new windshield. We can then install that and the rear glass...
THEN....She is READY for her final coats of 1989 Camaro Bright Blu....along with several coats of clear....💙OH MY💙
By then....Happy Birthday to me....September 12th...💙😎💙

[Kurt L71S]

YES!!...the headliner is installed along with the Stereo....The Pioneer 6x9s sound real nice. Also had time to install "Blu" dash gauge lights. I have the neutral safety switch installed and now i need to wire it up...

[Kurt L71S]

Had a great day in the shop yesterday.
I installed the Lokar Backup Light and Neutral Safety Switch. This switch can be used for EITHER the NSS or the Backup lights...NOT both...
One thing to remember here...use at least the same size or larger gauge wire that is the original Purple starter wire....if not, it will not activate the system...

Readying "Blu BiYu" for her final trip to the paint booth!

[Kurt L71S]

Empty bay in the shop! "Blu BiYu" is at Basic Body and Paint for her final coats of paint and clear! 💙😎💙

Not much to report on her last trip to the booth other than Clark is 1/2 done with the block sanding....slow process..."No one showed up for the Block Party"...
