Muscle cars!! 69 Chevelle and 80 Camaro, pics

[Captain Kirk]

I dont generaly post pics of work I do, dont have the time or desire, but here goes. I manage/work at a car stereo shop, and we specialize in high end audio installs, as well as some restoration and upholstry work. All these parts are one off, built for each car when it comes in, never to be duplicated. Here are a few cars that were finished within the last few weeks, hope you enjoy.

1st car, 69 Chevelle, full frame up restoration. Audio system installed, trunk started out as bare metal, after fabricating panels, some foam and filers, lots of sanding, suede and vinyl, shes done. Here are a few pics of the install from start to finish, with a few pics of the car and motor work.

2nd car is a 80 Firebird. Full audio system installed, fiberglass trunk panels, fiberglass sub enclosures, all finished in vinyl and suede, NOS holders fabricated and NOS installed.

Great job. I would have wanted to fill the fenders in the rear with a little bigger tire. Are those the old school Crager Mags?

I think they are newer Boyd wheels on the Firebird, the Chevelle has Foose wheels, the Firebird is still in my shop so I can check. The Firebird isnt perfect but its nice, the Chevelle is beautiful to say the least, you need to pick it apart to find flaws.

Gotta love the sound of a big block with a "big" cam in it.

Very impressive work. I used to do car audio professionally and have also done some restoration stuff. Looks like some quality work.

Dang man....I dint know you was that talented

Start figuring out how you want to do the interior on my 68 camaro..Dont need a fancy stereo system, but a good one. I'm missing everything petty much from the floor board up so it could be a fun one..

The Chevelle wheels look like the old 'bird look like ARE's vintage wheels

Nice work. I have to post a pic here when I find it. Buddy of mine has a 1938 Chevy that matches that Chevy of yours (paint anyway).

Nice job! That's actually a 68 Chevelle though.
