Default Wow - too much custom - brain freeze

Really neat work on the car. Very impressive custom touches. Truly unique based on all the 69 threads that I've read so far. Was wonder on your accessory drive system - is that from a Cadillac CTS-V? Was impressed that you were able to keep the AC compressor mounted low and close to the block. Most other accessory drive's I've looked at (aftermarket ones) want to mount the AC compressor high. I think your system is better for PT activities. Also, I am in awe of the work on the headlamp doors to get them where you want them. Truth in where there's a will there's a way.

Looking forward to seeing the final result.

Tx for the compliment
Accessory drive is mostly from 05 Cts-v . I changed alternator bracket ( 01 Camaro - modified )to keep at stock location and built compressor bracket ( using sd7 compressor ) from scratch to run from same belt. It was important to me in keeping all low and stock looking.
It's not yet a proof set up, waiting to fire it up to see how that belt behaves . Especially on high rpm shifts.
Those head lamp doors are a pain in the a// to make them fit. I had to reposition the two weld in nuts on core support. Played with it quite a bit

Smile Obd Ii

Was wondering where you decided to put the OBD II connector? Is there a "good" location for it? I've heard about issues with the doors and you've now confirmed it. But they do really dress up the front of the car. I think that in the end you are going to love it after all is said and done. And boy do I agree with you about lining up the drives to use a single belt. I had heard that the CTS-V had the best of the OEM arrangements. Good re-use of parts. I was either going with the CTS-V or a Drive Junky setup from MCB. Anxious to see the car when done. So keep up the good work. No rush as I think that quality is always better than speed. "You either want it done right or right now. You choose".

Slowed down a bit , new member in the family
But still getting some work done
Brake lines are done was able to run one piece from proportioning valve to flex line for fronts. 3/16 SS. Any one looking to buy a flaring tool I will highly recommend the RIGID 458r for 45s and they also have a 37 degrees. That's the best tool I have bought and here benders same quality.
Fuel plumbing is also checked off the list 3/8 SS.
I ran both fuel and brake-lines on the inner side if rail "hope it don't get to hot"" maybe build a heat shield.

Rear end passenger side piece

Front passenger


Followed the DSE weld

Need just a bit if massaging here once I can get access to sett up clamps



Founds these at LBC swapmeet $50 ohh yeah

Cut rings to make them fit like I want them " tight"


Cut and flared out the buckets

Setting up clutch pedal with a stop and pushed pedal 1/4" towards passenger
