1968 Camaro - Project "BLUE HOUR"

[MaxHarvard]

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.

Nice to see it going together. I see you have the most useful adjustment tool laying on the rear floor :-)

Yea, I had to use that a few times.

Also had to cut 1/2" off the bottom of the main hoop to get it to fit right.

Thanks again for the roll cage

Looks great. Need to get this back on the front page for more progress pictures with a real camera.

Yea, tell me about it. Talk about amateur hour here on Lat-G, huh?
