Frostbite - 1967 Firebird

[EBmotorsports]

Hey ya'll,

Been working hard on the 2010 Camaro console. I had to move the shifter cut-out up about 1.5" and some some custom fiberglass work. Removed the late-model gauge cluster that only worked on the new Camaro and replaced it with two 2-1/16" gauges from NVU; these gauges are in the 1969 Series that also matches the speedometer and tachometer in the dash. It really brings the interior together.

Also have a billet shifter ring from Lokar that fits nicely into the console. Below that is the power window buttons. They're in the retro-style from Nu-relics.

Walking a fine-line between modern and retro requires a lot of customized work, but I think it's really coming out great.

Hey guys,

This week I'm working on all of the wiring for Frostbite. It's pretty sophisticated with a lot of components working together.

• Alpine Navigation Unit
• Alpine Amps
• Alpine Speakers
• Alpine Rear Camera with indicator markers
• Dakota Digital Units for Auto-Headlights and Dimming Lights
• Push-button start
• RFID sensor to automatically unlock/lock doors.
• Power windows
• Power locks
• Digital LED brake lights
• Xenon headlights
• Dakota Digital unit to control radiator fan speed
• All the LSX454 ECU wiring
• All the normal car wiring with Autowire

Hey ya'll,

Been working on the wiring this week. Wanted to share some more pictures with you.

Since we used the 2010 Camaro console, we ended up using the 2010 Camaro parking brake as well that integrates nicely with the console.




We decided to go with the II Much vents. You can see the underside here.



Here's a view of the II Much vents from inside the trunk.



Put a healthy dose of Dynamat everywhere to reduce all the road noise.



I put all of the wiring behind the passenger seat. This project will not have any rear seats, but instead will have a pair of storage containers in the rear. This way you can service the wiring easily from inside one of the storage containers.

We're using the American Autowire harness and Dakota Digital headlight and radiator fan control units. Also mounted the power locks, push button start, and RFID units back here as well.





We're using the Optima batteries and made a custom CNC bracket to hold it in place in the trunk. Very clean clamp system to hold it on the base instead of holding it from the top.



Just starting to wire up some things inside the dash as well.




You can see how the new, modern dash came out once I painted it. It will flow very nicely with the 2010 Camaro console.

Wow, it's looking great.

Are you doing all this work by yourself or do you have help? The pace of this build is incredible and the quality seems great too.

its me and my son-in-law for the most part, i have one part time guy that gets a few hours a week. We normally work on two at a time but for the last few months we have been on this car only. Thanks for all the compliments also.

What is that shift boot off of?

Right now I'm just working through all of the car stereo. We have an entire Alpine system that's going in.

• Alpine INE-W940
• Alpine 432 amp
• Two Alpine PDXM12 amps
• Alpine 6x9 speakers
• Alpine SWX-1043D subs
• Alpine Rear View Camera

Should be awesome when it's all put together.

Hey ya'll,

I got some more updates today. The wiring is pretty much done, minus the battery cables which should be finished next week. About ready to start this car up for the first time and hear it purr. I'll be sure to get a video for you guys. Should be awesome.

Finished installing the Alpine sound and navigation system. It has some serious components with 3 amps producing about 3000W all together.

Put the doors back on today. Was happy to see everything lined up perfectly and didn't require any adjustments. Put the trunk on as well while I'm finishing up the custom spoiler.
