Anyhow, maybe you are working on it but the pics don't show for me here, I saw them on the PT post though.

Pretty impressive stance you have there and the progress is remarkable.

Thanks Robert!

The front clip wasn't all that bad taking off, just some people making sarcastic remarks

It certainly helps make room in the garage! HA!

I used a stock Camaro drive kit with a Kwik performance AC bracket relocation kit.

Max I just got caught up on the transformation. I am very impressed!

Let's hope this winter goes by quickly.

Minor update:

Sometimes the smallest parts give me the most ****.

Fairly certain that Earl's wouldn't approve of my modifying their PS fitting, but it seems to have worked just fine. We'll see when it's fully pressurized *crosses fingers*

Had to remove the pulley to get the fitting behind it.

Ok, time for the smaller stuff.....

Tom F. (on this board) and did a trade a while back and here's his progress in mocking up a 4pt roll cage for me. Can't wait to get this bad boy in! Tom did a fantastic job to make sure it fits with the mini tubs and tucks up tight to the sail panels on the interior.

The other piece I'm happy with is that it doesn't run through the speaker holes in the package tray so I can still keep my tunes! WEEE!!

*Don't ask me about the rear-end in the passenger seat, that's his car... not mine. LOL





Working on brake stuff, installing the prop valve from Speedtech and their stainless lines. Gotta love pre-bent stuff!

Also, I cut a 3" hole in the firewall for all the LS electronics, you can see the hole in the upper part of the last photo.

I can try to explain the 10-Bolt laying on the floor.

That Camaro got pulled out of storage to be used as a template to make Eric's roll bar. When it went into storage it got loaded with extra parts. The axle was too heavy to take out for this project.

How do you like my trailer?

^^ Tom, that photo makes me happy in the pants!



Minor update.

Nothing glamorous right now, just finished plumbing up the brakes with stainless lines and AN fittings... my god those fittings add up quick!!! *sob*

Cage is in finally. Got that done on my lunch break

This thing is TIIIIGGHHTTT To the head liner and side panels my god!

I also just realized that my cell phone takes crappy photos in bad light, go figure.

It's designed by Tom to match the line of the rear window so when it's rolled up, you won't see the bar.




It's just tacked in for now.
