Bored with a dremel on Memorial day weekend...

Got bored and had a spare can of clear coat and my dremel so I thought I'd share.




I really shouldn't be left alone...

Well I used an actual emblem for reference (probably would have mis-spelled Chevrolet is I hadn't) but I freehanded it on the doorsill, yes. Dremeled freehanded it all.

That is far and away the coolest thing I've ever seen done to a stock doorsill, great job and way to be innovative

Kind of weird to use a 1950s Chevrolet logo on a 90s era car, but looks like you did a nice job. If I had to bet, based on other things I see in those pictures, you've been bored and left alone with spray paint, vinyl, carpet, and other things a few times before.

Just some no name eBay seats. Still way better than factory IMO.

Yah but I've got a whole appointment of 71' camaro, 70' chevelle, 55' belair emblems all over the car already so it fits.

I've gone a bit crazy before too- it's true. I Really shouldn't be left alone. I can't wait to get my hands on a 5th gen SS.

I like seeing old school chevy/camaro emblems on the newer cars, it pays homage to the older generations of our cars in style imo.

Re: Bored with a dremel on laborday weekend...

nice touch, it must have taken a long time to dremel all that away and clean it up,

did you think about doing the Standard "CAMARO" + Bowtie? I'd Like to do someting like that but I would want it to look really clean and I'm not sure how I could pull it off without spending a lot of money buying aftermarket ones or without spending hours on it.
