That's a smart move...a T56 will make it seem like a different car.

Little Details.

I'm not sure why but out of the box, my brake and clutch pedal didn't line up very well. I had to add a bit of length to the clutch slave rod to fine tune the placement of the clutch pedal. I wanted them to be perfectly in line. I couldn't find the recommended pedal pads that were supposed to fit the sickspeedmonte pedal. But I did find some in the "help" section that were larger that fit a Subaru. So, I made new larger pedal plates and welded them onto the brake and clutch pedal.

I also made a quick pedal retainer pin because It sucks trying to get the two pedals hooked up under the dash, laying on my back with a cage in the car.

I followed Mark Stielows lead here on the clutch slave cylinder. I'm running a stock 4th gen Camaro master and I'm probably going to run a Mcleod RXT twin disc clutch. I picked up a GT500 clutch slave for the extra travel for a twin disc. The only issue is hooking the master and slave together and bleeding the two. I've read the cobra guys bleed them by pulling vacuum then pumping or letting them sit overnight. Or, I'll bench bleed them as an assembly and install without unhooking the two.

I'm going to hook the master and slave with a section of pre-made -3 hose I had left over from my rear brakes. The -3 fitting for the master was easy as Russel makes them. The GT500 slave takes a weird M12x1.0 iso bubble flare. I couldn't find that with a -3 on the other side, so I made one. My lathe only cuts standard threads, but luckily I have M12x1.0 dies for another fitting I make for diversion tig welders.

Wow, you are doing really great work. Keep it up.

I swear this car didn't want a clutch pedal. It fought me for a couple hours and drew a little blood, but I finally beat it to sumbission. :willy: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...psd94287e4.jpg

I had to trim a section of the inner fender to get the bracket in. The inner fender had a indented line inside that worked perfectly to cut to clear the bracket. It's almost like they intended for it to happen.

I did some labor trading with another GN guy and on I got a new passenger fender painted and I'm going to try to get that hung today so I can get the front bumper and spoiler back on. I think it will sit a little lower in the front when I put a trans back in it and after it settles in a bit.

aww yes! Looks great, Mike.

This car has needed this new fender for so long. The old one had a hole cut in it from the previous owner and I had patched it up for the short term. I've had the badges for it sitting on my desk for a couple years and it's nice to finally see them go on. I still need to tweak the bumpers and need some shims, but this was the new look I was hoping for.

Looks great Mike. Sits really nice.

I really did not expect to be able to buy a trans this quick, but it's here. I sold my enclosed trailer, now that this is a "street car" and it helped quite a bit. Now I need to get back to work and get it in the car.

I got the flywheel and clutch a few weeks ago.

McCleod said I would be more than fine with an F-body slave, so I bought one and a tick speed bleeder.

Mike, the car looks great. These have always been one of my all time favorite rides. Good call on the Tick remote bleeder. I elected to not use a remote bleeder on mine, and I ended up having to build a special wrench to reach the factory bleeder. Keep at it!
