Thanks for the tip on the roofing tape. I'm getting ready to put new carpet in my 87 GTA and was going to buy a bunch of Dynamat. The roofing tape will save me some money.
ScarabChris thank you I’m glad you found it helpful. Ya the roofing tape will save you a lot of money when comparing it to dynamat. Just make sure to clean the dust and dirt off everything your applying it too
Great video. I just bought an 88 IROC convertible with 56,000 miles. Interior is perfect, but stinks. I will probably have to pull it out and might follow your advice on soundproofing and love the idea for the sub box.
I bought the precut carpet for the front of my '91 Camaro on eBay and asked a local auto upholstery what they charged to install it. They wanted $100 and I said hell no. Too make a long story short I would have paid twice of what they wanted if I'd known the hassle it took to install it.
Actually $100 doesn't sound all that bad, I know its time consuming. Carpet is on my list, I may see what local upholstery shops near me change. I'm thinking it might be worth it, I'd like to have brand new carpet but I just don't have all day to install it, we'll see.
So here is a tip when finishing up upholstery...steam it! Takes out the wrinkles and makes it curve to the surfaces.:) Hope those seats are getting changed too! not a great colour at all!LOL
What grit sandpaper did you use to scrape off the old paint? I have the same issue of the previous owner painting everything in the car (even the fabric parts too)
If I remember correctly I started with like 800 then 1000 then like 1200. I can't remember exactly but I know it was fine sand paper and I continued to soak the sand paper and wet sand it. I didn't get all the old paint off just a majority. Just Enough to get the paint to adhere good to the pieces.
Hell thank you for making all these videos.!! Their great. I’m slowly watching all your vids here and there going to get started on my 1987 z28. It’s been sitting far too long. When you wet sanded what was the materials you used ? Thanks
Thanks glad you enjoyed. I'll be making more videos soon I need to do more to mine and get it on the road again. The wet sanding was just alot of water and high grit sand paper. I want to say I used 1000 to 3000. It's been along time since then. Then after that I used a primer/paint adhesive spray. Then after that I coated everything with a few layers of vinyl and fabric paint. Non gloss.
@@TonyTheTechnician That's too bad. I have new seat belt mechanisms but I have no idea how to install them without destroying the headliner. Do you know who has one?
@@markthompson5803 I'm not sure. Hear is the only video I see and it's t tops. I would suggest pulling a pillars down. Then pulling back side plastics where the speakers are. Then slowly pull around outside edges. There will be clips holding it in. Here is the link for the video I found but idk how helpful it will be. Best of luck. Sorry I couldn't help more. ruclips.net/video/ftAsaEgoP6Q/видео.html
Hmm I'm not sure about that price. I think I paid around 300 for both of mine together. You might be able to get some at hawks or find decent used carpet on ebay
It has held up great only area I have an issue is the passenger door hangs and scraps the panel across the bottom but as soon as I fix the door and repaint it. It will be fine
Chase McCleave its called Vinyl and fabric paint. you should be able to get it at any autozone, O'Reilly or advanced auto store. I started by wet sanding all the parts then used a coat of paint adhesive and then applied the paint. and it comes out very very nicely.
Hmm no I do not but it should be over in the roofing area. By the vents and stuff that you put in garage roofs and stuff it is ment for sealing around vent pipes
@@nunya5107 this is just one of many brands and sizes for an example www.homedepot.com/p/USEAL-USA-Band-6-in-Aluminum-Foil-Self-Adhesive-Repair-Tape-8872AF6/202086180
I would say 30 or 40 in wood materials with screws. Maybe 15 in fabric and adhesive for the wood. So under 100. Then if you wanted all new carpet in the rear it's an additional 120
JasonMisterDude get the aluminum tar tape from Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s used for patching roofs. Then the other insulation is the NASA insulation found on eBay.
You know that you only need 25% coverage with the foil backed tar paper right? You dont get any additional benefits from 100% coverage. You wasted a bunch of it in the hatch for no reason
Not true, depends on what your using it for,. As far as coverage for panel vibration noise itself yes. But these are also used for many other uses. Round square corners inside of vehicle and boxes to better direct noise, used to help reduce exterior vehicle noises and also a good additional insulator to help control temps inside of a vehicle. So I wouldn't say it's for no reason.
the tar paper is going to be a HUGE REGRET.have you driven by a place doing roofing lately?that's exactly what your interior will smell like in the heat. check out thirdgen.org and the issues these guys have with the cheap roofing stuff or cheap dynomat and the absolute NIGHTMARE it is to remove.
This has officially reignited my need for a 3rd gen. Thank you sir. Btw great job on that interior.
Thank you
Okay, I got my to-do list for my 92 RS!. Fantastic job, sir.
Thanks for the reply . Look forward to seeing some of the new videos !!
No problem at all. Thanks 👍
Great job! Thanks for the post! I just bought a 1988 Iroc t top and I'll be following some of you advice.

Very Nice Work! Looks Great
archiebite thank you
You've sparked my desire for a Z28. Great job with the interior. I have so many questions about how you did this.
Thanks I appreciate it 👍
TonyTheTechnician any chance you remember what. The stuff you did/used? Like the carpet paint insolation lol.

idiot ,what the fuck is $100.now you probably have a car that looks like ass,spent 10 hours doing it and cut several corners..
So here is a tip when finishing up upholstery...steam it! Takes out the wrinkles and makes it curve to the surfaces.:) Hope those seats are getting changed too! not a great colour at all!LOL
Lol yes indeed. They were swapped soon after this video was recorded 👍
Hey Tony, where did you get the 6x9 speaker plates from?
These are from scosche I believe. They were in it when I bought the car
Can the speakers pannels could be on leather?
What kind of steering wheel do you have the chrome one?
No I had a grant gt but now I have the cleetus mcfarland mpi steering wheel
I wanna take all my interior out and sand everything the same u did . What materials / sand paper do I need ? Thanks
Im confused. You did a great job but you ignored the back Wheel tubs? 90% of road noise comes from that part!
The wheel tubs already have an inch of padding on them.
Have you done an update video on this since it's been 5 years I was curious how it all worked out with the subs and leds n etc
What grit sandpaper did you use to scrape off the old paint? I have the same issue of the previous owner painting everything in the car (even the fabric parts too)

Sound insulation worked great, I could barely hear ya!
How is the vinyl and fabric paint holding up after 4 years?
It has held up great only area I have an issue is the passenger door hangs and scraps the panel across the bottom but as soon as I fix the door and repaint it. It will be fine
How did you install the gauge pods? Scre2 them in, adhesive?
Nightall I did small screws
gotcha thanks man!
Nightall your welcome
Could you perhaps do a video on the box you built to replace the rear seats? I would really like to do that to my 83 Berlinetta
Reaper when I get the camaro to the new house I will try to make a video on dimensions and how I went about it
@@TonyTheTechnician that would be very much appreciated!
Reaper 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
take out the seat ,get a measuring tape and get creative.make sure it can be fully reversed
Thanks for making these videos. I'm hoping to get back into a 3rd gen at some point and would like to do some updates as well.

What paint did u use for the plastic panels?

How did you do your doors? I like that there custom.
Vinyl and fabric paint for the plastic and arm rests. Then I just bought some fabric and adhesive spray. Thank you
@@TonyTheTechnician thanks there like 200 hundred bucks a pop.

I went to home depot they have no idea about that tar paper do u have a sku number or a picture of the packaging

Haha very nice
what are the dimensions of the box you installed in replacement of the rear seats???
sharissa jones I’m now home right now I’m traveling but when I get home I’ll try to get the measurements for you
How much to redo my interior in the trunk and bulid a backseat boc?
Everything black
I would say 30 or 40 in wood materials with screws. Maybe 15 in fabric and adhesive for the wood. So under 100. Then if you wanted all new carpet in the rear it's an additional 120
And to redo the panels it's probably 30 or so if you just wet sand the pieces and get vinyl and fabric paint and repaint them
Where did you get the insulation/what is it called? Links?
JasonMisterDude get the aluminum tar tape from Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s used for patching roofs. Then the other insulation is the NASA insulation found on eBay.
