My Mike Norris PCV catch can came in. It's a nice piece. Got it mounted/plumbed up. If you're like me and ever wondered what's inside this thing, here's your chance...if you unscrew the top, there's a baffled tube with a piece of red scotch-brite pad on the inside to separate the oil from the vapor.

Is it safe to say that you are close to BoonVegas then? Awesome Build. Hopefully I will be starting on my 73 very soon!

Just couple of quick pics of the Evap unit mounted. I had purchased a first gen bracket set from VA to mount a mockup Evap unit during fitment. In the month or so between that time and when I ordered the kit, VA changed their mounting setup considerably. Luckily I had moved the unit up higher in the dash already and they still used some of the same mounting points so it all worked out. I will say the new brackets with the front support bolting to the dash where the glove box attaches is far superior to what the original setup was.

Despite what seems like non-stop thrashing on this thing to get it running and tie up loose ends on some of the components, I'm at the point where it seems I'll never get done! Although I'm making progress, it's hard when that "progress" doesn't leave any major (or even sometimes minor) cosmetic difference.
At this point, I still need to wrap up the exhaust system, HVAC system, rear axle brake lines (had bent some up but I'm not happy with the fit so I ordered more stainless and I'm redoing them), sound system and wiring for the front clip. The car goes out for carpet and headliner the first week of July and hopefully sometime mid August my Recaro seats will show up. I ordered my gauges yesterday and at the very last minute, did a 180 and went with the Dakota Digital VHX/BIM module setup. Seems to make the most sense and provide not only a cleaner install and better readouts but also excellent visibility and a classic look!
I'm excited to see the interior start coming back together as I feel that'll breathe new life into my mindset. It's been exactly 13 months since I took what was a pretty nice 68 Camaro and COMPLETELY cut it to pieces and changed almost everything that wasn't painted blue. All things considered, I'd do again in a heartbeat, albeit with a few changes and improved efficiencies.
My goal has been to drive this thing to LS Fest in Bowling Green in September. I should be good to go as long as I have some seats to sit in!!

Here's what it looked like "before"...

In keeping with my Johnny Cash theme, I did complete/murder out the air intake yesterday. I ended up buying a couple of pieces of 4" aluminum tubing, a coupler and filter. All together, I've got $150 in this setup. It's nothing extravagant but i wanted something simple anyway and couldn't bear to spend $300-400 on a kit just to have 10' of leftover tubing. Originally, it was gonna be about 3" longer, however, due to a "snag" (literally) with the chop saw, I had to shorten it.
I tip my hat to those of you who can fabricate smooth, flawless, compound bends in these things with no signs of the welds, you make it look too easy!

Also, made some headway in the front end area with regard to painting/assembling the headlight buckets, hood latch, etc. in preparation for getting the front sheet metal hung. Once I get this thing running, get the HVAC lines plumbed and determine there's no issues, the front clip will go back on...

Nice. Looks like you're moving along.

I'm pushing to have my car done for LS Fest also
