NICE choice in parts! do you have GM or FORD axle ends in the back.. and what is incolved in doing the Zo6 reag brake install???

show us more!! whats the plan as for paint etc??

For the rear end and e-brake. Iam having problems with the KORE3 kit as I think that iam the first to have the kit for the moser rear end with big ford bearings and chevy ends. the t-style bolts that come with the rear are to short to bolt up the bracket and backing plate for the brake kit. and I cant find anyone around that has what i need. its really hard to say what the problem is that i am having and people understand. The bolts that Tobin has in the kit will not work. and thats the only thimng thats holding me up:mad: but what can you do when your putting new vette brakes on a old camaro. For the paint ? have no clue yet but it will be a color that you can see the carbon fiber hood,truck and filler that i will be getting from Matt at ANVIL AUTO. But Idont want to use a factory color for the car ie black,white ect. so as soon as i found out were to get the correct bolts fo the rear I will let you all know so you dont haft to track them down like Iam doing. Thanks for all the kind words and hope to have a update for you soon :cheers:

good job.
rick k:thumbsup:

Have not done much as I cut a tendon in my left hand and have not been able to use it for the past three weeks and still have about two more to go but I still get around and work on the car just dont tell my Doc got the core/support back from powder coating and you can see were the blasting broke threw were the battery had been leaking, but not much i can do about that now. at least you wont see it, along with the hood hinges.I also had sent out my LS1 T/B to be ported, and to have the cross shaft and bump stop mod done to it and I think that it came out real nice, for those that know about the rear brake situation iam having to get a machine shop make the rear t-bolts that i need for the KORE3 e-brake kit to work with the big ford bearing on my moser 12 bolt but i should have it together next week but hear are a few pics of the parts on the car and still need some clips and stuff but i cant get those free from work will post up more whn it happens.

Nice project.
Keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

looks good

Holly sh!t back from the dead LOL


Just a little update, I have the mini tubs in and done most of the vintage air installed and just got all the four link stuff finished and put back under the car. Still need to run back over it all and install the rear sway bar but for the most part its done, Kinda a lot of work lol...

The spec on the rear wheels and tires are 18*12 with 5.5bs and 335/30 tire
I figure someone will ask haha, Its a ride tech four link with weld on brackets and a rear end width of 56.25 axle flange to flange, ( but measure yours if you afe doing this).

If you have any questions just ask and I will do my best to answer them, after all thats what this is all about.

Now on to the stuff that matters

I used UPOL spray in liner on the wheel tubs, trunk and floors this stuff is very easy to apply and I think it looks great.

I have the lines real close to where I want them and will do a finall ajustment when I put the fenders on,

This was a pain not much room to get to the bulk head but it can be done, I mounted the heater hose valve on the back on the unit so you cant see it and also mounted the dryer on the fire wall behind the inner fender

Glad to see it your still working on the car. Itlooks great.

Got any close ups of how you did the rear brackets.

Did you move from the front spring pockets in-board ?

wow, very nice progress:thumbsup:
I love the first shot:cheers:

with the ride tech kit they are now making all the bars offset to clear a bigger tire so i did not have to move the front pocket.

Can a MOD move this for me? I would like it to be in the project section.

Thanks

So you have the new offset lower link from Ride Tech. So you have enough room to tuck the 335. I placed one of my tires under the car and I would need to move the lower arms in about an 1.5".

Can you take a couple more pictures ???

Sure just let me know what you need!

I have the weld on brackets not the bolt on that originaly come with the kit. I think they give you a little more room aswell, not between the bar and tire but the bracket and the tire

Will you need the pics with the wheel/tire back on? if so I will need to put them back on. I keep them in the office LOL

Thanks to the MOD that moved this for me :thumbsup:

Sounds like we are doing the same modification.
