1969 Camaro Restomod completed by Cars Etc LLC in Phoenix

The Problem

Decades-old body work under the existing finish, uneven panel gaps and a tired paint surface that no longer suited the direction of the build.

Work Performed

  • Disassembly of exterior trim, glass and lighting
  • Removal of previous filler and prior repair work
  • Panel repair and replacement where the metal was beyond saving
  • Panel gap and fitment work across doors, hood and deck lid
  • Full surface preparation and sealing
  • Full vehicle refinishing in a deep candy red
  • Reassembly of exterior trim and final finish detailing

Project Description

A restomod direction rather than a factory-correct restoration: the classic body lines were kept, but gaps were tightened, prior repairs corrected and the entire vehicle refinished to a modern standard.
