Default Second Chance Camaro

I recently put some new mag wheels on my old dodge truck
It has left hand threads on one side and figured out my torque
wrench only goes one way. After over 40 years of wrenching
this was the first time I had to torque something left handed

This is so crazy

Not once have I ever thought about this.

Default Steering Box Nut - It's the Wrong One (( 07-23-23 ))

I adding this as a To Do List item as the nut that came with the DSE Box was incorrect. I think... they sent me a correct one but I have no clue where it is.

Default Driveline Angles (( 07-24-23 ))

So we have another leak most likely because the car has been on this rack since April 24, 2019. The funny thing is my
goal was for the car to be down for one year. Doing just a simple Holley Sniper Swap and then like everything I do I
kinda lost my mind and decided to do 90% of the crazy idea's in my head.

Ha !!!!



Time to work on the drive line angles







Small Parts Box



Tailshaft is at 3 Degree's



I did the rear differential the following day



Another Reminder since I couldn't find the correct socket !!



Since the car is offset on the lift (allows me to fully open the drivers door) I found a way for the car to go up perfectly flat with this silly combination of stuff.

Default Kick Panel Speaker Enclosures (( 07-27-23 ))

Huh, I am not sure I like these as they are extremely flimsy.



Maybe if they are wrapped in leather they will be a little bit more sturdy.

Default Final Vintage Air Wiring (( 07-27-23 ))

Of course I was able to go back and look at a picture from June 30, 2019 to see how Kenny had it wired.



It sure does look like there is a lot going on in there.



I am using the Mag Daddy wire mounts to secure the wire looms. The Yellow wires are all of the extra inputs for the
Terminator that I may or may not ever use.



Having the heat shrink printer is very helpful.





I may or may not add a little bit of heat shrink to cover up the blue wire ends.



I left a little extra wire just in case.



Secured all of the lines together.
