2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

I am finally going back and confirming everything is tight.

Steering Shaft U-Joints are tight !!!



Rear Suspension nuts are tight .







Brake Line has finally stopped leaking

Today is a big day as the car is starting to look like a complete car again.

GTO roller are coming off and know you can see the Kore3 brakes from Tobin.





I am happy that I can finally get these out of my way.

As the car is getting closer I finally decided to put the bike together that is going on the side of the car.





My buddy donated a set of very cool wheels for the bike.



Still needs so stuff but it's starting to look like an old school bike.

I decided to remove the Bad Ass Fender Cover just to see what the car looks like and possible drive it off the rack.





My temporary drivers seat.



First Engine bay photograph without tape, towels or the bad ass fender cover.





Holy cow, I just put the ramps on for the first time in years !!!



Well, the car did start but was running horribly most likely due to a very low battery.





Looks like the valve covers are leaking.



Yep, Battery is very low.



and just a funny video to make me feel better.

I have been following CJ Kuster for a couple years now and a couple weeks ago he asked if people would like their car ''Tooned''.

I jumped on the chance to have him do a sketch for me for many reasons.

Reason 1, He is really cool artist and I love the stuff he draws.

Reason 2, He is true car guy and will be using the money to modify his handicap equipped van.

Reason 3, This man has found a talent in himself the 99.9% of the world could never do.





I want you guys to look closely at the name of his studio. Yes it says "motormouth".

CJ is paralyzed artist and he draws and paints with a brush in his mouth.



Here is his story.

Please, please take the time to read it as his story is truly inspirational.

Nope good old Illinois and we look to be about 3 hours apart.

Well, At least I tried.

Picked up some Valve Cover gaskets from the local Napa Store.



Taking things apart again.



These are very nice quality and unfortunately I can't use them as my coils won't bolt up. (they didn't list the coil spacing)





Remy asked me to stop swearing



On a side note anyone have an extra square nut for my inner fender where the hood hinges bolt in. Seems mine is gone.

I am sure I said this before

The last 10% is takes up 90% of the time.

+++++ Missing Image - will add soon. +++++

I used the good old blue tape to make the pattern.



Gently removed it and placed on a 20 point piece of chipboard. You can also see the inside pattern
which is what I traced while it was stuck to the kick panel.



Since, it is easier to remove material I added more of the pattern which was a good thing.



First Test fitting.



I traced it out on some thin sheet metal and made the first piece.



My main reference point is the wire clamp and it seems to fit really well.

Wow, One and Done !!!



I marked the location where I felt it was safe to drill.



Drilling some holes and yes I am wearing my "Tap Cap" so when I am under the dash my bald head doesn't get
cut up from the dash brackets.



Time to screw it in and make it look final.





Looks good.



My supervisor told me to watch my head as there is a bunch of sharp brackets under the dash.





Time to paint !!



Painted.



The patterns will be sent to Ron Wilson so it can draw it in CAD and send it out to anyone that needs it.
