Here you can see my nephew hard at work on his Camaro. You can see the rash of door dents and the dent in the quarter panel... would you leave this as is, or try to fix it?

Wow - parking spaces must be at a premium up there!

I'd fix it - car looks too good to have that big dent!

What color is that interior?

-----Helmut,,, It could be the picture for sure but that red looks to be too bright a red to be Garnet. As well, the area around the chips doesnt quite look like what would be under original lacquer. I guess that actually could be wax or something. Not trying to negative as the car looks like a nice candidate for a bit of sprucing up. The interior from what I can see looks pretty nice........Bill S

As hard as it would be for me to touch that, I think I would def. fix that. That is a nice red on red Camaro. Don't see that too often.

Its definitely the original garnet red paint... that photo doesn't do the color justice. Here it is next to my L78 convertible. Could say its a chip off the big block - LOL. The interior is red standard with console/auto, 350 4bbl (L65?) with AC. The primer is showing through slighly in a couple of spots and it has a few dings, but it's very presentable so I'd like to preserve it.

Wow! I think it looks good the way it is. It gives it character...plus you don't have to worry about any future door dings...

Well, my relative is ready to unload all of the tints, scale and books! I just became the owner of 73+ gallons of R+M,not R-M, Lacquer tints, books, scale and mixing station.

Oh, brother! What did I do?
