I purchased some pre-sewn "Custom" 78-81 Camaro bucket seat upholstery that is a perfect fit! The back seats are different from the Camaros and the rear seats in the Spyder (that donated the rear taillight panel) were perfect and had the "velvet" inserts...so I went with that style front covers. :dance:

Mixing paint this week and should be shot all white with the flat/satin black areas painted too by next week! Then we hang the body panel flares and spoilers before shooting the stripes and applying the "Mirage" decals! :dance:

Gettin' excited!!!

Cool lookin' airdam...where did you source it?

Looks great! Let me know if you need any dimensions on the location of the stripes. Don't forget about the 1/4" black perimeter pinstripe on the stripes on the top, hood and hatch. 1/8" black pinstripe on the side stripes. Also, there is a 1/4" gap between the red and blue stripes where the white shows on the top, hood and hatch. 1/8" on the side stripes. :th:

The air dam was an IROC-Z originally that I started with and built a skeleton frame from round bar to a similar shape of the Mirage one and wrapped & glassed it! Great stripe reference pics Ron! I provided pics to the body shop, but still worried about how they lay them out! We got everything hung this afternoon, but didn't have time for more pics! Hopefully tomorrow!
