2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

This one is for you Skip.

I finally installed the rear brakes and the electric e-brake.



Brackets are on and look fantastic





E-Brake installed



Temporally shimmed with washer and when I have time I will have the Guys at High Speed Welding machine me an actually shim.



Pretty Bolts have been installed and yes the Tin Man **** is coming out.





At some point I am going to paint the rotor hat area.

I have no clue how I used all of these tools on the drivers side.





Yes I have issue's





This side should go much faster.



ARP Hardware









Crazy !!

I want to do an electric e-brake on my 69 with the Heidts rear IRS, but they are awful proud of it. Over $1,000 from Heidts for the parts to do it. I might try to buy the calipers and make my own brackets, then all I would need is the actuator and cables.

Get a hold of Tobin @ Kore3 as he might be able to help you.

Hey Skip

Well, I am back on it and the more I dig into the issues with the trans. The more I regret it.

So the trans is garbage and the Wagner motor is also junk. It’s leaking everywhere and the hypothesis is the a few of the rings are bad or broken.

I am going to pull the trans and give it to a different trans shop to look at it. Even though the I plan to buy a new engine and transmission.




If you look way back in the beginning of the build I used this set up to get the trans out.



Since the trans pan is beautifully powder coated I am going to put a stamped steel pan on for removal.

Great to hear from you Marty, but very sorry to hear of the issues.

I’m so sorry to hear about your misfortune, Marty. It seems like when you get a couple steps forward, something jumps up and sets you back ten. Hopefully you can get it sorted quickly and without breaking the bank. Good luck to you!

Sounds like maybe you could use a bit of a laugh…
