Thanks Todd,
I started yesterday on the new Pearl Interior. I have the back seat done and am in the process of removing the covers on the buckets....
I am hopeful that the Pearl will enhance the 1989 Camaro Bright Blu paint on "Blu BiYu"
I have included 2 photos of the finished seat and 2 of my progress on the buckets!

Last few days of work in the shop ❤️ Now have the seats recovered and the springs on the buckets repaired. Quite the experience doing the interior on this Pontiac 💙💙

I'm excited for you too Kurt! You were making such great progress in record time, what happened, I though it was going to be done in the spring with the way you were going at it?

My Telephone Business along with our Photography Business has pulled me in different directions, leaving me no time to finish the block sanding and her final paint...
I simply hired Clark Gick to finish her for me....Heck, he wanted to finish her anyway...

You're setting a high bar!

That's going to be a work of art.

I thought it looked great in the old paint.

Nice!!!

Clark Gick is now done with all the primer on "Blu BiYu". He is now ready to back her out of the booth and finish his block sanding. Then, She's back in the booth for that beautiful 1989 Camaro Brite Blu & the Clear that makes her POP!!..
