Still updating the factory hardware to ARP or hardware from the guys at Totally Stainless.





Of course the inner fender is in the way. However since they are fiberglass/Carbon that is easily solved.

Still playing catch up from all of the work we did this summer on the car.

On Sept 30 I decided to bleed the rear brakes and since I was doing it alone I went out and bought another one man
bleeder kit (I have one somewhere) so I could get it over with. I also picked up some Brembo Dot 5.1 Brake fluid which
is what I use in my yellow Camaro.



First thing first need to get the kinks out of the supplied hose.



all better



Did I tell you all how much I love this DSE Brake Booster set up.



all done.



Very nice kit and much better then the 10 year old one I have somewhere in my garage attic. Maybe when I clean it out next
summer I will find it and donate it to someone else.

Installed new stainless steel gas tank straps with some rubber anti-squeak in between the tank and the straps.

The main goal was to reduce the noise from the fuel pump which is mounted to the front of the tank.

Hard to believe how well it has worked and they look really nice.

Next up - Install the new Ride-Tech R-Joint Upper Arms.

I can tell you that after installing just the upper arms the ride quality is significantly better and I am looking forward to
actually getting out and driving the car a little harder to see what it actually can do.

So back out to the Garage and it's empty this time. Just the Camaro.











The best part is adjusting pinion angle is super easy now.

Yes, I lost one of the Universal Joint Caps

No a new universal joint was not needed however I wanted to dust the driveshaft with a little paint as it got a little scuffed
up in the garage and I dropped the cap somewhere between my garage and the kids swing set.











So while I was trying to install the driveshaft for some unknown reason I was unable to get one of the caps to seat and low
and behold pulling the cap off I found out why.

Default Solving the Fuel Leak with Flaretite

I have been fighting a couple fuel line drips and I am hoping these solve the drips especially since I park the blue Cayman under the Camaro.

So I started pulling all of the lines off and I found a kink so I will have to remake this line before it goes back in.



Opps



Please oh Please make the drip go away.


I had Dennis over at High Speed Welding bend me up a new line.



I installed the flaretite brass whatever you want to call them where ever there was a drip.





I put a piece of blue tape on the fitting as a reminder that I needed to tighten them.



It has been a long time since I have seen these wheels and it's time to get them out of the shed.





I so wish BFG still made these tires



Hard to believe the wheels are back on and it's starting to look like a car again. It's been a long summer and I am happy to be working on it again.
