2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

It was late and I was tired and just got home from work with my MSD Plug Wires so I decided to put them on before I went in the house.



As you can see the wires are no longer stretched.







Apparently Remy new I was home so my wife let him out so he could come visit me in the garage.



Oil Pump Block off.



After looking at the wiring on the tank I decided it needed one more "Weld Stud"





Apparently all the planning I did when I installed the tank makes it very easy to service and remove.







Nap time for Remy



New Weld Stud installed and I will clean up all of the excess before the Tank goes to Remes Autobody for paint.

I figured while the tank was out I might as well clean up the epoxy around the wed stud mounts.





It feels so nice talking off all of the tape.



Yes, I am going print this picture so I don't have to try to remember the sock direction in the tank.



No More Tape !!



I think I put this stud in the correct location.

Only time will tell.





Off to Remes Autobody to get the tank painted.

Yep, I screwed up and cut the hose to short



I installed the DEI Fire Sleeve on the fuel line and I doubt I will be cutting the fuel line as I already screwed up once today.





This time I am going to use my green paracord.

The one's that DSE offers and it is really nice looking











I finally made the time to finish off all of the wire terminations.







I'm making sure all of the wires are long enough and I will need to replace these ring terminals as they are not the correct size.







I did find some covers for the DSE terminals.







Since the Shifter will be going in soon I figured it was time to look for the harness and I had tucked it up neatly under the dash.







I really want the Radiator Cover from Anvil so I am adding this to my Christmas list and hoping my wife buys it for me.






Not my car the picture is for reference.

So, I have wanted these upper control arms since I started building the car. After talking with Keith at Custom Works Performance
for years I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set. I also ordered a set of Tall Ball Joints and once I received them I ordered some
ARP Hardware.



They sure are pretty and no more pivot shaft shims.









Yes, I am replacing the hardware.





I picked up some zinc coated grad 8 washers since one of the arms was missing the pivot shaft washers.

[syborg tt]

Yes, I am still going back and fourth on this battery terminal mental block. I have even ordered another one that I hope to play with next week.



Comparing the two next to each other.







In order to reduce the number of ring terminals I am going to double up one of the grounds.

Needed something quick and easy to finish when I went back out to the garage at 10pm. So I finished up the details on the relay wire tech flex wrap.

Since the wire is so small I am going to step the heat shrink so it looks like finished. The first layer of heat shrink (2 to 1 shrink ratio ) fits tightly before I hit it with the heat gun. This still needs to be trimmed to length which should roughly be 3/4 of an inch. Smaller if you want less to show and make sure you shrink this before moving on to the next step.



I then installed the tech flex sleeve and then a slightly larger piece of heat shrink (3 to 1 shrink ration) that fits over the tech flex and lays on the recently installed heat shrink. When everything is lined up hit it with the heat gun.





Another while I am here moment. ( 12-26-21 )





I finally get to make the final "Hot" connections in the passenger side cowl panel.





Don't every buy Animal Crackers as they are like CRACK !!!!!



Finishing up all of the passenger side grounds





Clean Up which means bed time or was it Taco time.

Look up OCD...

[slimjim]

Your OCD is as pleasing as always, And your workspace is as expectedly clean, makes me want to redo my garage again once I'm in final assembly. many beers could be had.
