Project Chaos: 1973 TA and 1969 Camaro

[chichirone]

Progress continues on the 69 Camaro. Compared to many threads on Lateral-g these are not all that exciting. Nonetheless, getting the Camaro back on the road is in the cross hairs. We are supposed to hear the LSX454 come to life for the first time next week. STOKED!

A couple of items got knocked off the punch list in the last few days.

Battery re-located and mounted in the trunk. Will still be able to use my trunk close out panels with no modification.


This was a good find. Look at the picture of the main power wire for the stereo. Needless to say this was fixed.


The headers were installed and the exhaust was trimmed and being measured for fittment of new collectors.


The oil cooler adapter was machined for clearance to fix this.


The motor mount has been notched to fix this.


The ECM is installed and wiring is underway.


Re-assembled the headlights on the new core support. Hope to get the front
clip back on next week.


We are getting closer! I am heading out to the shop tomorrow.

Thanks Brent! Appreciate the welcome and kind words regarding the projects.

Exactly the reasoning behind the project name "Chaos".

Thanks Ron! We are hoping to get both cars finished for the GG's Lonestar Spring Nationals and USCA event at Texas Motor Speedway mid-March.

Nothing too exciting but the interior paint is underway. The door panels, rear sails, seats, dash, rear quarters, trim and headliner are being re-done as well. Hope to get some pics posted of that work soon.

The roll bar is being color matched to the interior surfaces. Pretty close to Pontiac factory deluxe white. The car is an original white on white car so trying to maintain some originality.


The steering wheel was sanded down and painted black for a factory fresh look.
