Guys project 74 Z28 by olstyle

10 minute(s) of a 380 minute read

Finallt got another can of trim black n got the lower grille painted.

Lower valance ready to install  

Ok, the lower valance is on, I guess it looks ok......................LMAO. I am lovin it  

Can't paint the hood till I get more epoxy so I figured I would start to play with the interior. Small prob with the seats, they must have 75 n up tracks, they don't line up with the 74 holes. I thought no biggie, I would just drill a few holes in the floor n be done withn it, not sure now. Gotta think about this one.

Seat mount update......

Looks like the seat tracks are for 75-81. Also looks like the tracks are for the same side, I just can't tell which side, driver or passanger lol
I have decided I do not wanna cut extra holes in the floor for the tracks the way they are. I would also have to cut holes in the carpet in the wrong spot, which I do not wanna do!!!
I noticed that the passanger side sits higher then the driver, I turned it around and it sits at the same height. Gotta figure out something to be able to use these tracks. I know I can not afford the 71-74 tracks, they are very hard to find and pricey when ya do find them.

Heres a few pics of the tracks. After doing a search n some reading they are definitely 75-81. So I don't see why I can't grind off the rivets on the yabs on the one track and bolt it directly to the seat, but I will also have to shorten the legs that bolt to the floor.
Sounds like a good plan............right? lol

So far so good. Got the rivets ground flat n punched out. Got the tabs off, holes drilled and mounted to the seat. 3 of the 4 legs are 1" from the track to the floor, 1 is 2" from the track to the floor. Just gotta cut out 1" and weld back together.

Ok got the one leg on the track shortened and welded. Got the driver seat bolted in with all 4 bolts   but the batteries went dead in the camera  
Gonna have to get a 3V ac adapter to use the camera in the garage, the price of batteries are killin me lol

Heres a few quick pics of the interior so far. The carpet will stay in but everything else will come back to get dyed before final install.

One more pic before I start the front carpet piece.

Got the holes drilled for the sill plate screws and kick panels test fit. Gotta get some speaker wire, have dinner then start dyeing panels, and oh ya..............................prolly have a beer of 3 lol

Heres a few pics of before n after dyeing the kick panels and back arm rests. While theses are hanging out drying, I'll get the speaker wires ran.

Debbie n Amy(daughter)just got back from Sams club and look what I got..........................
No more buying batteries for the ca,era

Got the sail panels n coat hooks dyed and ready to install.

Got all the dyed parts installed in the interior. Now if I can find the stud that goes thru the driver kick panel for the E-brake pedal assy we'll be doin great lol

Got the E-brake pedal assy. and carpet guard in. I guess it is on to the doors.

Got the outter window sweeps on. They are made by PUI Interiors.
Next I get to put some glass back in

WE HAVE GLASS!!!I was really surprised how good this window cleaned up after getting all the primer and stuff off it. Only has one scratch about 2-3" long from a felt being worn at some time. Hopefully more to come tomorrow.
