Looking good.:thumbsup:

It looks good.

Thanks guys :)

Love the wheels and belly pan..:thumbsup:

Thanks Mike.




Installed a top closeout panel (from Undercover innovations Derel was kind of enough to add a ball mill option on their new two piece panels, nice guy to deal with):

Been routing brake lines, had to swap out some rear flex lines as they were rubbing on one of the axle tabs for the G-Bar.

Also installed a line lock here is some pics:

Still have some minor adjustment/shortening of the brake lines to get them away from the headers a bit.

Bracket is made out of 1/8" thick steel that was polished (can't believe I spent the time to do that) and then powder coated clear. My first time trying the clear and I guess the heat discolored the clear or the steel a bit, now has a bronze tint to it, but I think looks interesting.

Still messing with brakes. I found a slight drag on the rear rotors (when trying to set the parking brake). For kicks decided to measure the run out. Found 0.010" (Drv) to 0.015" (pass) runout along the rotor. Removing the rotor I found 0.005" runout on both axles.

Called Moser and the tech said up to 0.008 was within tolerance. Trying to figure out if I should cut the rotors on the car to true them. Trying to get ahold of Noah at Touring-classics to see what he thinks.

For comparison the fronts had less than 0.001 run-out (gauge barely moved).


Welded on my rear brake tabs. Also began installing my Shrifter and new Steering wheel. Decided to replace my turn signal switch while I had things apart. Interesting that the local GM dealer stocked the item (ouch $75).

Car looks great man... I gotta say that is my favorite color for a 69 Camaro... BTW what kind of school are you working on this at?

Ed,

I just read all 7 pages. Great work and awesome thread! I really like the sleeper idea and I think the broken radio antenna seals it....so keep it!

Good job buddy!! :thumbsup:

Thanks. Working on my car at a local Junior College while taking automotive classes. They have a great automotive program with pretty awesome teachers most of whom are muscle car fanatics as well :yes:


Thanks a lot. Hmm I just bought a replacement antenna (haven't put it in yet, but maybe you have a an idea.

On another note was able to get my rear rotor runout down to 0.001 from 0.010-15. Learnt how to use a on-car brake lathe and trued my rotors to the axles. Much better feel as the rear wheel rotates now. I'm stoked.

Wow, I just read the whole build thread. I really like the car and also have a TON of respect for you to just dive in and go for it. To put yourself into school and turn out such a nice job is so cool! It's been a motivator for me. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences on this!:cheers:
Keep the updates coming please.

PS Those wheel are sweet! I just about cried when I read about the tow truck driver screwing the pooch and causing damage.
