Looks good. Do you have any plans to notch the top of outer wheelhouses?

Magnum trans came today:thumbsup: But I guess the cluth and flywheel is on BO. Story of my life. I also got the other tub done. I want to weld em in sooo bad but I know its best to wait for my brakes and axles so I can get the wheels under the car first to make sure everything is a ok.

You, Mr. camaro2nv, are having way too much fun with this build. Keep up the great work!

I agree. But, then again, I'm biased. Keep us posted.:cheers:

The car is coming along great! Nice parts just keep coming too!
Thanks for posting everything. It's great to see all the pro builds in the shops, I love 'em. But it really hits home when I see a guy making it all happen in his own garage. It motivates me big time! Keep it coming!:cheers:

Parts update, I got the ATS Spindles and oil pan today. The Ididit is coming tomorrow along with the axles and center section. I also placed a order for the AutoKraft engine mounts for the LS2. Parts are coming in slower them a turtle! I made a change on the brakes to the greatest and latest,lol.
I started to put the speedtech together when I noticed that the last owner didnt include any nuts or bolts. So tomorrow Ill go pick some up. Ill have a updated picture tomorrow. :woot:

No nuts?? I hate that!!:rofl:

Sweet! How did you get the spindles so fast? I thought your order didn't go threw?

Keep up the good work and killer shopping skills! ;) :thumbsup: :woot:

Tyler got me back on the list because of what happened. :hail: The pan is pretty killer also but the gasket and AN fittings had to come from someone else. I hope to see them by next week. With the baby on the way at the end of the month I just feel the need to get done as much as I can now. I would like to have the car on the ground by then.

I had forgotten about the baby coming. That is great!! Keep us posted on that please. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks, Im a bit freaked out. The wife and I have had 15 years of freedom so its going to take some getting use to.
Well just went and bought bolts for the subframe, 48.00! Man its a good thing I got the frame for 3500.00 The odds and ends are adding up.

They always do!!!
Congrats on your wife's pregnancy as well!:cheers:

A new baby and a camaro project. You are going to be one busy dude. I'd guess they will both be well worth the trouble. :thumbsup:

Don't freak out. It will be the best kind of change you could ever imagine. (except the first few months of ZERO sleep). But after that it is awesome, even the sleepless nights ( i hope you don't have that many) are really worth it.

Those extras do add up quick huh? It's all those little things that are required, just can't get away from that. It's coming together nice though. I tell ya, I know I have been wanting to do the level of shopping you've done recently!! I imagine there are alot of guys reading this thread that wish they could too. Serious power shopping!:thumbsup:

I keep on hearing about the no sleep thing. That will be tough! As for the change I think it will be a good one. Its time to slow down a bit, Im sure she'll make us,lol.
Ok took off a hour early to get the Subframe together. Turns out Im missing a couple key bolts for the sway bar. But all in all its very close.

Looking good! Deffinatly a lot of nice parts on this car!! :thumbsup:

Congrats on becoming a father very soon! I remember thrashing on my car trying to get as much done as possible before my son was born....I promissed to take a year off of the car once he was born...that year actually flew right by! We were married for 10 years before deciding to have a child....I kinda know what you are going threw...trust me it's worth it! :cheers:

Looking good.:thumbsup:

Got home to find my Detroit tru trac came today along with the axles. Just got finished putting it in. Now Im just waiting for my brakes so I can put the wheels on this bad boy!

dig it! Come on, you don't need brakes to roll it around and most importantly take much needed pics!! :D

HAHAHA I know Im bad with the pics. Its going to be real bad when its a roller! I cant wait!

Awesome build. Love the different choice of wheels and color. Don't see many Forgiatos on muscle cars! :thumbsup:

You must be close to Gearhead Garage where my car is being finished. Hope to see your whip soon!

Looking great! Congrats on the baby coming soon! Enjoy what little freedom you have left!! :lol: Trust me - it all worth it! :thumbsup:

X2 what he said^^^:cheers:

Yeah I live about seven miles from them. I saw your car there about three weeks ago. I love the black wheels with the silver. Its lookin good! Looks like your in good hands with Jason. :thumbsup:

thanks man. we plan on taking our cars to Sac Raceway soon when they are done (Jason's vert and mine)... maybe you can join us!

Keep up the great work. Very cool project.

Let me know Ill be there.

Big thanks to Blake for hooking me up with the rest of the missing stuff on the sub. I also ordered the ball joint caps and steering shaft kit and of yeah:unibrow: The stainless works headers:thumbsup:

Well back in the garage! The baby has been napping so I sneak away to do some work.
Im still waiting for all my other parts to roll in. Willwood sent me the rears but Im still waiting on the fronts. These are the W4A, from what Frank told me these are the first to go on a rear or a car. They are BIG! The rotors are 14in and calipers are 11in long. I picked black because I want them to match the car color. So they will be painted to match. The fronts are W6A with a 14.25 rotor. Ill post them once I get em.

I have to do more work to get the rear wheels on. Seems the bore size is off by a hair! Its very close, I might just do some sanding to get them to go on.

Love the brakes!

Hey -- in the beginning of this post - your car is shown with some "tubs" on the ground in one of the pics ... then later on you show building your own... What happened to cause that?

Still love those Forgiatos! :>)

Nice.....do yourself a favor and make sure you don't have a brake pad knock back issue on the rear end. You will need a dial indicator and must remove the brake pads. I don't know if the issue has been resolved with the axle retainer that wilwood provides yet or not? Now is the time to deal with it if there is a problem.

I ended up going with the Morrison rear clip. With the new rails I wanted something that would butt up to the rails, cleaner look. I cant get that with the DSE tubs. Im also running a 345 rear tire. I need all the room I can get! The goal is to weld the new tubbs to the rails and grind smooth. Then finish them out and paint the underside the body color.

Hmm should I just use the one Morrison sent? Its thicker. Nothing is set as of yet. This is just mock up.

Ah ha.... makes sense!!

Are they specifically for a wilwood setup? I tweaked one of my wilwood retainers a hair. I ended up with a set of currie retainers that go all the way around the bearing. On mine you could see the bearing move away from the retaining clip with your bare eyes! I had over .020 on both sides. I was able to get it down to .005 and .006 with the currie plates. Do yourself a favor an measure it now while it's mocked up. Wilwood was working on a new design when I talked to them 2 months ago. The new design was shimmable.

Wow! Monster brakes!! Looking great Steve! I must have missed it, but what is the final color going to be?

Is the baby letting YOU sleep yet??:lol:
Just wait. Someday she will be changing your diapers and loosing sleep taking care of you. What goes around comes around. :rofl:

Will do, thanks for the info!
Ok Ok so I could wait, I had to put a wheel on. I did a little sanding, not much and it slipped on. My axle if off but I wanted to get a wheel on,lol

Man I keep changing the color. Im not going to say anymore until I get close paint because I keep on changing it.
Little bit of sleep, but not much. Man I cant wait to get 7 hours sleep again.:D

I understand about the color thing. I am bouncing around a little too. But there is a lot to do before that needs to be decided.

That wheel looks great on there!
