Great fab work on the vents! Did you fab up the LED tail lights?

I did, then set them in potting epoxy to protect everything

I do remember that I built the whole system using the stock long arm cut in half and installed it onto the car and welded a rod between the cut parts to get the correct arm length. You can kinda see it on the top arm on the left side of the first picture.

AJ, are the part the wiper arm connects to ( not sure of what they call it) still the Camao part or are they Deville too?

The ball studs? They are Deville. The arm mounts are Camaro. If I remember right they just knocked out from the back side like they are pressed in then I welded the Deville ones back in. If you do this swap like I did when you get everything you'll see how much bigger the newer parts are vs. the old stuff.

My car showed up last week and it was good to play with it a little after not seeing it in about 20 months. Started by bolting the trunk lid on to check figment. Not too bad but will need some metal work to fit like it should.



As I sold the engine and transmission as soon as the car got here I got to work rough cutting the area for the LS7 oil tank



And since I'm going with a different transmission the trans mount had to go as well.



Since all my fab tools aren't at work yet I started to make patterns for the fuel fill that I stole from ironworks and the diff cooler I stole from hellfire




To wrap things up on this update I bought a new toy to help build some higher quality parts with. The rest of the dies showed up after I took the picture so now I have a full rack
