Looking good! I'm a master Redneckery tech! I've spent more time rigging up stuff than building!

I hear ya!



Been doing a little of this and that ... after the rear was installed I test fitted the brakes with Jay Miller's hybrid floater kit and wanted to run calipers in the front and Jay suggested I could swap sides and that should work ... yep! Got some epoxy and paint on the hubs while I had them out, I have to do the fronts still, I hate to see rust start here!

Been raining for so long [again] but Sat was nice so I went over to Marina for the American AutoX series opener with Art, he brought his SS/RS and got 4 runs in. Mary was there with her Camaro, man she is fast and smooth!!!

So got the hood as straight as I could, OCD is a b***ch and the vents have a home now! You won't see the defects under a wrap anyhow!

Everyone knows this rocket ...

Pretty sure there is some negative camber in those rear tires!!!

I'm calling this good enough!
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/XTMEgn.jpg
Passenger side ... gonna look like this!

The brake thing was bugging me cuz I know it's been done on all Mark's cars, granted he makes his own floater adapter, but I stared at pics of Mayhem and noticed the difference and off I went!!

Anyway, weather is good for now so I'm gonna finish some painting stuff and hopefully get the subframe under the car real soon!

Thanks for looking ...

Time w my sweetheart!
 
Happy Valentine's Day ... hope you spent some time with your sweetheart as I did! Been a long day taping and cleaning, and I'm so tired of masking of this Camaro and spraying epoxy, last round before wrapping!

Take a look ...

I am waiting on my sway bar axle brackets from RT, seems I misplaced the originals,huh? And my rear axle alignment tools should be here soon so I can get the brackets welded in place for good.

Not much of an update but it's progress .... thanks for looking!

Looks great man! I like your choice of suspension!

Thanks! I was out of SPI epoxy so I bought local PPG brand ... should have used a reducer cuz I had some dry spots where it didn't blend too well, oh well!

Thanks John!


Thought I'd share some pics of my rotor wash ... with zinc phosphate. I used POR15's Marine Clean first and then their Metal Prep with water rinse in between, and then a light scuff with a red scotch brite!

A good scrubbing with Marine Clean!

Submerged in Metal Prep and working ...

Comes out kinda dark after the rinse ...
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/uFgUaT.jpg
light scuff w scotch bright pad all better!
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/PdqW5J.jpg
These vanes where filthy and were sure to rust ... not no more!

Figured I'd better get this done now before I bolt it together and then they start to rust, thanks for looking ....

So the POR15 metal prep leaves a zinc coating on the rotors that won't rust or resists rust?

Coming along great with the car.
