Started tearing into the back half of the undercarriage. My gas gauge hasn’t been working since I bought the car so I decided to drop the gas tank to make it easier to clean, and swapped the gas sending unit to see if that would fix my problem.

Your making feel guilty for not getting after mine the past couple days.

So I’ve Been Having Issues With Gas Guage, So While I Dropped The Tank I Put In New Sending Unit, Turns Out It Wasn’t The Problem But At least We Gotta New One…
I Also Repainted The Rear Bumper And Put New Wire Looms On The Rear Bumper Wiring…

I scuff n buffed the doors, and started tearing down all the chrome and door panels, so I could start painting the door jams, i also took notes of chrome trim clip placements. There’s 2 rust spots I want to address, there the only ones I’ve found on the body so far, I also shot the outer doors black… slowly by slowly

Picked Up A Set Of Cragars, Couldn’t Resist On These 15x8s… I’ve Never Seen Anyone Run These Knockoffs I Always See The SS TriBars, So I Did A Little Research And Found That The Previous Owner Had Taken These Off The Street Pro Wheels, He Dismantled The Center Caps And There The Same Diameter. I Actually Like These More Than The TriBars, I Put A TriBar Knockoff Next To Them, And The Street Pros Are Significantly Bigger Knockoff… My Pops Sent Me A Picture Of The Familys Camaro For Inspiration, Rocking Cragars Since The 60s

Sanded Down The Roof, Door Jamb, And Inner Door, Hit Them All With Primer And Gloss, And Started Finding Highs And Lows To Fix. I Also Went To The Pick And Pull And Stumbled Across A Trailer Hitch For 80s Elco, Ill Try Cleaning It Up And Throwing It On My Bumper Next Time I Take It Off For Paint…
