I found the seat on Craig's list for 60$ and the fire extinguisher and quick release mount for 10$! I was pumped about that!

Now on to front brakes.
I bought a set of 5th gen Camaro Brembo's and rotors off a c6 race car at work. The calipers were welded up then drilled in tapped for a c5/c6 spindle (they were originally for my c5).

She's finally painted. And very, very red. Paint turned out good. I have my front wheels on and just got my CPP c5 spindles, hubs, and and brakes ready to go on.
I just built the engine. 350, .040 over, custom grind cam, milled 041 heads, stock bottom end, victor jr intake. Mostly some of my old circle track parts.
My super T10 is being built currently so once its back it will be hooked to the engine and dropped in the car.
College just started back so progress will slow again.

BTW, the CPP spindles seem to be great quality. Really nice product for the money.

It is hard to find time to balance everything but the car is coming along nicely.

Finally got some more done. I made a rear package tray out of plywood then wrapped it with carpet. Turned out good.

Made some brackets for the 4 link and quick change and made boxes where the 4 link will bolt to the car. Once upper links are here the 4 link will be finished thank god.

Got some wheel spacers but of course I had to make them work too. The 5/8 lug studs and 1 inch lug nuts on the rearend wouldn't fit in the spacers so I threw them in the mill at school and fixed that.

Firewall and core support is now painted black.

Now I'm waiting on my Super T-10 to be rebuilt then I can drop the engine and trans into place and start wiring.

Well, the car is getting really close to being able to move on its own power. The last 20% of this build has really started to drain my wallet.
But, engine is in and wired up, heads lights and blinkers wired, radiator I bought from Bill Elliot is in with brackets I made, and front suspension is done.

I went with a 650 LF and 600 RF spring with Afco 7/7 shocks and spring height adjusters.

I bought a Super T-10 from a local latemodel racer, and no I'm not running the quarter master clutch.

So all I need to drive this thing around is a fuel tank, finish fuel lines, power steering lines, and driveshaft. My goal is to have it dialed in for the Optima race at Charlotte.

And my girlfriend and I got some autocross in in my Corvette the other day.

Also, I couldn't have got all this done without the help from my baby niece.
