Re: 67 Camaro Build
The back seat bottom has enough clearance for the mini tubs and it looks to clear the rollbar hoop easily. The replacement bump stops showed up as well as some new red Koni adjustable shocks.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
While messing with the rear down bar I thought, now would be a good time to check the driver’s seat clearance to the rollbar. Not too bad, that’s with the seat adjusted all the way back. Looks like I’ll have all the factory legroom, bonus!
On the other side, I guess that the passenger seat will probably not have quite as much legroom, maybe an inch or so less. Me and Mrs. 7dee2 are on the short side so it’s all good. It’s been a very long time but I don’t recall the driver’s seat cover being so misaligned, dagnabbit. My OCD can’t handle looking at that all the time!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
The Camaro is back on 4 wheels again and the appointment with the upholsterer is coming up soon. I need to finish fitting the backseat frame, then they will put it all back together modifying the seat covers as needed. They’ll also install the headliner, sail panels, visors, rearview mirror, coat hooks, and recover the rear armrests. And of course, I’ll have them address the driver’s seat cover alignment.
Since the driver's front seat cover is so far off, I checked the passenger seat as well (2nd & 3rd pics). The cover is aligned nicely but the back will not latch in the upright position. So, both front seats require some tweaking to be acceptable. Sat the backseat top frame in the car for a look-see. Yep, it’s going to need more of a notch than the bottom did.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
It's the same deal as before with the bottom, didn’t remove the cover completely. I don’t want to lose this cover's alignment that matches up so well with the bottom.
Removed and turned back the side springs then cut both sides, set it back in the car to see where to bend. A small nick with the cutoff wheel and then shaped it to clear, easy peasy! Here’s both upper and lower pieces back in the car to see what we’ve got, good to go for now. Almost forgot to mention, yes, I did mark the area where the rollbar down bar will pass through. It looks like it will get into the upper back a little more than the bottom. Decided to collaborate with the upholstery shop on the best way to modify this area.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I was on the fence but went ahead and added sound deadener to the inner roof skin. Time will tell if this was a good idea or not (summer heat, gravity?), fingers crossed. After cleaning the area, I used a knurled roller set (link) to apply this stuff. It would be really hard to miss a spot with the marks the roller leaves in the product after doing a crosshatch pattern.
Followed by dropping in a mockup motor (yup, again), we’ll need it for the exhaust hanger work coming up. https://www.amazon.com/ITEQ-Insulati...31364620&psc=1

Along those lines (and I know this isn't the Camaro project related, ...but) Brett, what coating is on the concrete floors? Is that stain w/clear over? Asking since I am looking at options and considing concrete stain myself.

You’re right Kevin, it’s multiple colors (5 to 6) of concrete acid stain applied separately with a satin sealer top coat. At our last house the concrete contractor mentioned staining the garage floor. After seeing how easy it was (and getting used to that floor) I wanted it again in the new place. It kind of looked like throw up prior to the top coat. (lol) We lucked out though, a local concrete supply store was phasing out this stain brand (pic) so we bought up a bunch at a discount. Doing roughly 2,000 sq ft counting the vertical spaces we had 4-5 gallons left over.
