So..........I called today to check on the delivery of the drivetrain.......It hadn't been shipped from GM yet.....It seems they are out of stock of the Engine controller kits.......So we asked to ship everything less the controller as that's the last thing I to install......So it will be shipped tomorrow......I also ordered a new Electronic controlled Vintage Air Evaporator Kit.......Also got a bunch of Dakota Digital stuff ordered..........VHX Gauges.....Clock.....Fan Controller.......GPS Speedometer module.......Got a little more dis-assembly accomplished........

Look at the detail that the original builder put into the car.....Firewall pad....

Still waiting for the Drivetrain to show up.......In anticipation of the new A/C set-up showing up.....I removed the Heater controls as they will be converted over to electronic controls.......I also removed the Gauge housing as I ordered all Dakota Digital gauges.......the gauge housing was chrome plated at some time in it's past and the chrome sort of faded away in some area's.......so....I'm going to paint it back to original.....sent the housing and the lower steering column cover out to the plater to get the chrome stripped off......then off to the paint shop for paint.....All the Dakota Digital stuff showed up today.......With the cluster out that gives me access to get the wiring all straightened out..........

Dakota makes some beautiful gauges. They'll look great in there.

Been gone for a week.....But..... When we got back a lot of "Stuff" showed up.......The new Vintage Air unit showed up....and the Drivetrain got here also......I ordered the GM "LSA Connect and Cruise " set-up.....As I was going thru the boxes with all the new parts........I noticed that the Torque Converter was a reconditioned unit..........WTF...... Anyhow.......Things will start to move again......Here are a bunch of Pic's ...........

Nice stuff Ken!!


Yeah - A reman part would pee me off too.... not that it's probably not a perfectly good part... it just isn't what I would CHOOSE to order.


Is it done yet??


:ups:

waynieZ 12-10-2015 06:47 PM

Ken my Connect and cruise kit had the same converter with it. Did you get the motor with the ZL1 lid on it, mine came with the CTS V lid? It's fun opening all those goodies!
