67 Camaro project "It Don't Fit"

[makoshark]

Not much going on this weekend as far as the car goes. I did get out yesterday afternoon and built 1 of the 2 sub boxes.

I'm still waiting on my DSE deep tubs and some sheet metal to make any further progress for the mini tub install

[makoshark]

Gotta get out today and do some Spring cleaning and a little work in my veggie garden. Later I will get some work done on the car. Stay tuned...know you all are waiting

Well, I tried to get the driver's side tub done this weekend, but that did not happen. I made progress and am almost ready to weld in the tub, just not quite there yet though. Mini tubs are more difficult than I realized. I believe I would rather install a quarter panel than do mini tubs

I'm still plugging away at the driver's mini tub. I am almost ready to install the new inner tub and complete that side. My timing for getting this done keeps getting interrupted, so it's been a bit of a slow go.

Also, I picked up a bunch of steel, pneumatic ram jacks and a geared hand winch for another project, as if I need more. I need to have this done ASAP, so it will interrupt getting started on my passenger mini tub install. However, it will help speed up the install and allow me to work more comfortably on all areas of the car.

Looks like you are building a rotisserie .... I can see in the picture where you notched out for the nuts, how you gonna close that off?
Looking good ... but it is Thursday already.

I see you chose CDT speakers. I have those in my Chevelle and couldn't be happier. The are a great quality speaker. You will be happy with them.

Yup, a rotisserie. I'll have it done, HOPEFULLY, by next weekend.

My week has gone nothing like I was expecting. I was taking off tomorrow to go to Super Chevy, but someone passed the buck on me and I have to take care of something in the morning and then can make the show

Only thing I can do is just weld a small piece of flat stock over the notch. My frame rail is stout now though

The plan this weekend is get the drivers side tub done and start drilling holes on the rotisserie. As soon as my round tube comes in I will begin to make the housing for the worm gear assembly. I have to have 2 sections of the round tube machined to fit the outer races of the tapered bearings. Once that is done, then I can do finally assembly of the roto

Yeah, I have been using their speakers for quite a few years now. I love them

I want to give a shout out to the great folks over at Matt's Classic Bowties and Ridetech. Great bunch of people to deal with and all my future business, as has been in recent history, will be with them.

Danny, here's one for you

Truturns on are backorder Still have plenty to do while I wait on it though

No progress worth reporting at the moment. I'm waiting to get my tool and die guy to machine my round stock to fit the outer bearing race I'm using on my rotisserie. That, of course, will keep me from getting it finish built.

I took my last final exam Tuesday and am not due back in school till middle August! I finally have most all the time I need to get busy on my project. I took today off so I could do absolutely nothing. I needed to give my brain a break. I'm off of work for the rest of the week, so I'm looking forward to getting lots done on my car. Hopefully I'll have my round stock back early next week so I can finish my roto. I'm anxious to see how well my design works out compared to my last rotisserie that I built.
