Awesome built, really like how you smoothed the firewall:thumbsup:

Is it the 16 or 20 gauge sheet metal that you used for the firewall? Also do you have a photo of the firewall before installing the sheet metal on the firewall?

Thanks

Your making some nice progress. The color looks great and I love those wheels.

Your Camaro is coming along real nice and its exciting to hear your updates. :) We are also going to be running the Vintage racing wheels so its nice to get an idea of what they look like actually bolted onto a car.

I got the fuel line and brake lines ran. I am going to have to modify the fuel line for my LS1 Fuel pump filter/regulator and for the flex hose running to the motor.

Tonight I dropped the car on all four wheels. I purchased Moog coil springs and will probably take an additional 1/4 or 1/2 coil off when its all said and done, but they might settle a little more. These are the springs that David Pozzi recommends on his site. I still need to finish plumbing the rear flex lines and getting the front disc brakes on. I have the under dash going where it needs to go and installed the gauges last weekend. Those Vhx gauges are awesome. The LS1 wiring has still got me lost and I hope to find someone local who has done the swap to help me get on the right track and make sure that I am doing everything right. Wiring has been a little challenging but the American Autowire Kit is really a nice kit and comes with some nice diagrams.

I cut up a th400 x member and added some plate metal on the bottom. With the trans mount and the factory locations it's right at 4-5 degrees.
I have to take it to my dads shop to weld it up. My little mig is only good for tacking.

I used the car shop motor mounts. I will have $20 in the x member when done. Took me about 3 hours this evening. Mainly because of my lack of tools!

Today, I installed the Ididit column, power steering box and hooked the steering linkage back up. Also, I added oil to the motor. The ididit column went in fairly easy. I had to loosen the dash bolts and do a little work to get the column brackets to line up. I am having some power steering lines built and hopefully will have the fuel lines finished up in the next few weeks. My wife and I had our first 7 weeks ago. He has been keeping me pretty busy lately.
