I believe the mirrors are from a 70s A body, if you look at the pedistal, they mount with two threaded studs. The 2nd gen camaro sport mirrors mount different. Im pretty sure there are subtle differences in the pedestal area as well.

By 70s do you mean 70-72 or 73-77? Thanks.

pretty sure the mirrors are 73-77. If you check ebay theres usually a set up for auction, I just checked theres a white set going off in the next 18 hours, check it out search "chevelle sport mirrors"

Thanks Tones- I hope so too

Hey Rich,
I've been following the build on mcc.com and showing the guys here at work and the construction is amazing! The torch red looks killer on the grill. Its kinda funny, the young guys here had no idea you could take a car that far down and bring it back to a full body! Huge thumbs up to Mikes custom cars!
Talk to ya soon
Steve

Hey Steve, glad your enjoying it, Mike's attention to detail is incredible, I was really impressed with his welding skills, when you walk around his shop theres so much to see. Everything from tube chassis cars to camaro's and tons of other stuff in between. Woke up this morning here in jersey 2 degrees, Mike said it was 8 degrees in South Carolina. You guys must be pretty damn cold as well in Georgia. Crazy weather, eastern seaboard in a deep freeze, it s*cks!

I think we are coming down the home stretch, Im hoping Mike has it done towards the end of February. He's got a ton more pics to post on his site so stay tuned. Talk to ya later- Rich

Well things are starting to move a bit, I pulled the trigger and ordered the LS7 and yes Steve it does have a clutch . Also took advantage of Katech's sale during February and got the torquer cam/springs and retainers. Its been a learning experiance, since Im not really educated on the newer LS engines. But one that I really enjoyed. The engine came apart almost as soon as it hit my garage floor, Big thanks to Scott Gulbranson for answering my endless questions and helping me out in my times of panic. Speartech is putting together the electronics and Peterson is building the dry sump tank. Headers will probably be 2" Lemons unless I can find something in stainless that fits the DSE chassis well and doesn't cost me 3k. Not sure about an accessory drive system right now. Here's some pics of the motor just out of the crate and then going through the cam install, check out the size of the intake ports on the heads, there huge.

Back together
