Your build is going along fast for a garage build. I'm on year 6! I'll be at cars and coffee in my WS6, I hope to see you out there. My name is Mills, I just got my LS1 this weekend so I'm jumping over the the LS side too.

I hope to see you at Cars and Coffee this weekend...

Are you by chance going to make it to the Autocross Sunday in Pungo? I've never been to one I thought I might check it out. One of the guys over at Pro-touring told me about it

That's just crazy! FWIW, he's still a sponsor at PT.com, just not here.
Your project looks great! Can't wait to see it with the rear clip installed!

Im excited to get it in, Im trying not to jump the gun and go slow and make it right the first time. I used to be a bike mechanic, shop rule was you were never allowed to take out your personal bike if you built it until someone else did a quality check. I dont have that luxury on the Camaro.

I still need to order a trunk and floor pan before I weld it in. And I'll probably call the guys at Art Morrison to pick there brains enough in the next few weeks they will recognize my phone number when it rings.

Art Morrison make great parts Im just a Newb to suspension and dont want to mess up my new investment.

You are doing it with the right attitude!

I'm in construction and our shop saying is...if you don't have time to do it right the first time how do you expect to have time to do it twice? Because of this we rarely have to go back to 'fix' jobs and hardly have a punch list. Do it right the first time and move on!

The studs and other misc parts I need are on the way. I by passed my problem and ate the cost of the stuff I needed, only 100 bucks. I'll get it back, but I'm not going to sit here at a stand still.

In other news I have spent the last two days removing shelving from the garage, and doing some remodeling to my bench. I ordered a 5HP 80 Gallon Air compressor 19CFM@100PSI with a 145PSI Max I hope it will do everything I need.

I’m having an electrician come in next week to add two 220 Outlets (air compressor and Welder), 2-3 new lights and I may add a couple 120's as well.

A buddy is donating a spray gun set up which I have yet to see it's new never used and free so I'll take it. I have to start somewhere right.

I'm not sure if I'm going to paint the garage I don’t really want to worry about the walls. Maybe when the car is done.

I can put it together now.

A big thanks goes to Kevin at Art Morrison for helping me get my order completed. He's a great guy to do business with.

and of course the compressor.

Pics... some of the parts I've had a while and have been waiting to put in.

It's already been swallowed by the garage.
