Just caught up on your build, outstanding work! Keep it up.

Thanks! It's been a slow tugg but coming along...:hairpullout:

The car looks sweet! Nice choice on the gauges!

Nice
 

The tire sizes are perfect! I bet you'll be tickled when you get the ride height adjusted too

Your car is looking great. Nice wheels and tires.

Thanks Justin, yes the ride height will be around an 1" to 1 1/2" lower than it is right now in the rear....Can't wait!!:D

Thanks for the compliments Sam...:cool:

Thanks Wayne, they did a great job on them. I'm very pleased with the way they came out.

Finally got a few things done this week. Got the Moser 12 bolt and Ridetech 4 link installed. Got to take it back out for paint but going back in should be easier than the first time....:gitrdun:

Brakes should be here next week!

Looks awesome, I am about to start with my ridetech bolt in 4 link, how hard was the install? also how hard was getting the brackets welded on the rear end? Is it a stock width rear or did you shorten it?

Nice choice on the wheels,looks perfect with the color:trophy-1302:

It was a straight forward install. These old cars being assembled by hand gives a little bit of trouble from time to time with the cradle not seating into place like mine did. But with a couple of jacks and effort it slid right into place. The tabs weren't a big deal either. Just follow the instructions to a T and you will be fine. And the length on the rear end is stock with multi leaf perches made to order already welded up. I also went with the big ford ends for larger bearings and bolt in axles. If you want it narrowed I think they will build it to any lengths for no extra charge.
I called Matt and Kim at Matts Classic bow ties and they took care of me with everything.

Thank you sir!:thankyou:

Sometimes, I think I get just as pumped about seeing some of these cars getting completed as I do about my own. This is lookin' great, Smitty!

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments!:thankyou:

Kind of a crappy pic but got the rear end all painted up and put back in the car. Gas tank will be next to go back in after a little touch up work I need to do after welding in the Ridetech cradle.

Got a few more things to button up with the heater hoses and other misc. plumbing ..etc.. and apply the Hose Candy skins and should be done for first fire up of the motor.

Smitty,

You will be happy with the 5th Gen console!
I love mine!
Maybe swap out the plastic lid for a leather covered one??
I love the carbon fiber gauge housing too, Anvil part?

Jeff

Yes they are Anvil.

I plan on getting a boot and a cover like yours.

turn your shocks over to put the adjustment nut on the bottom making the adjuster access easier at the track

the shocks are gas pressurized they dont care what direction there mounted

Get this caught up a bit since I haven't posted in a while. Got the A/C all buttoned up.I used the DSE mount along with the VA mount.

Started fitting panels back on tonight and got tired until tomorrow. Hope I can at least get that done so I can start the motor up for the first time this weekend!:hapdance:

i thought the dse vintage air unit was only for the 69? Any issues with our 67 and 68 camaros?

http://www.detroitspeed.com/1967-196...V-bracket.html

It has to be modified a bit and doesn't take too much thinking to do. If you need pics I have some of it before installing.

pretty simple to do ? I would imagine so since it only mounts on 3 spots on the car. Thank you

Here are a few pics Randy if they help. These things have been done many different ways and mine isn't any better than the others it's just the way I chose to mount it.

thank you. Not sure what i see that you changed but I'm sure when i start mocking it up it will jump out at me.

Summit racing thanks you lol

Yes the smaller piece that bolts to the main part of the bracket I didn't use. I cut part of it and used the smaller pieces that came in the kit to make the two you see on the left side. The one that's curved towards the passenger side of the unit bolts to the radio brace in the dash. And the one that points straight up towards the cowl will bolt through the cowl inside the wiper transmission pocket. Just let me know if you need any other info.

Finishing the front end tomorrow to fire the motor Saturday hopefully!

Car looks really good, love the wheels and stance. Good luck on the motor fire up.

Man that looks good! Good luck Sat.

That Looks SWEET ! We'll need a video of the start up.

Thanks guys! The start up went without a hitch. Smooth as any could ask, no leaks and all systems worked perfectly! Now on to the interior!!:RunninDog:
Here is a short vid I made with my phone which the sound sucks, but open headers it still sounds good to me!
http://youtu.be/eieTe699rFQ I will post a better vid once the rest of the exhaust is on next week.

Awesome! Sounds great and congrats on the trouble free start up!
