Oh yeah, still chipping away at it. Everyone here understands how much work goes into making a car that works decently. The big trunk pan replacement was a good learning experience. It turned out pretty well given it was my first panel replacement.
Cooling system needed a total overhaul. I chose to work within the confines of the 80’s custom aluminum core support. A new stock size, 3 core, Frostbite aluminum radiator was acquired and modified to hold a new fan from a modern Chevy that needed some serious cooling help. The Holley Term X ECU is controlling the C7 Z06 cooling fan via PWM, thanks to Andrew B. who set that up in the tune and assisted with initial startup.
With the exterior of this car screaming “modified”, I always liked the idea of keeping the interior somewhat stock or classic looking. But, I made some exceptions in the name of improved functionality with Dakota Digital HDX gauges (RTX wasn’t released when I purchased these), Detroit Speed wiper motor and a beautifully crafted MPI steering wheel. All were chosen to provide at least a nod to the factory style.
