Makes sense. I usually just plug the switch. Never have used it....

Photobucket screwed a bunch of people. I just have never had a chance to go back and reload the hundreds of pictures I have....

T,

I really like the wheels - will look sick on the car. What are you thinking for tires? We had to modify the Wilwood proportioning valve mount on mine, too, to clear the clutch master. Great progress!

That's a good looking wheel. The colors will work well against the gold.

Thanks Brian, I’m still undecided on tires. I have thought about going 285/30R18 square or 295/30R/18 and 255/35R/18. Brands are limited and I get torn between a good street-able tire vs a more track oriented tire. I don’t trailer and like to drive so I dont want a tire that’s to loud, and can handle rain if you get caught in it. Also concerned about overall height. Been trying to stay around a 25” tall tire.
Falken Azeris FK510 might be a good compromise in the 295/255 sizes. Bridgestone has the Potenza RE-71 or SO4 pole position avliable in the 285 size. The other would be the Contential extreme contact sport in the 285. Any body have opinions or recommendations?

Thanks Trey. My thoughts as well. I think the Black centers will play off the black roof.

I'd focus on which one has the size you need. I've heard nothing but good things about the brands you've mentioned. I'd also recommend looking at General G-Max and Dunlop Direzza

Couple of pictures of the rear suspension assembled at full droop. The Watts link has four positions it can be mounted to the rear end for different ride heights. The link bars and lower shock mount also have multiple holes for different ride heights and adjustments.

While working with the Nicop for the brake lines I made a crossover for the two back steam ports. I drilled and tapped the factory block off ports to accept the line.

Intake, throttle body and fuel rails installed. Working on the front accessory drive. Using the Holley low mount with fourth gen Camaro spacing. The integral power steering pump reservoir will fit but cant get the lid off without unbolting the crossbar. I am going to have to come up with a remote mount solution.

Setting up the drill press to drill the the pump housing 13/16 so it could be tapped for 7/8-14 threads for a -10AN fitting. Also chamfered the leading surface for the O-ring. The port is blocked off below the point for the drill and tap so as to not get any chips in the pump.
