Glad you’re pleased with the Dapper headlights. I plan on running them too. I heard good reviews on them.

I did my research also and it was pretty clear that the quality was built-in and with no mods needed it was a no-brainer for me!

Still waiting on some cable sheaving and shrink wrap for the electrical, a starter solenoid with cables for a truck mount battery. Pictures for you viewing pleasure ….


Speedtech inner fenderwells made by Glastek, I already have the down bars!

Control panel will get mounted in the center dash somewhere!

Got the EZ-clips for the AC hoping for better bend radius and ease of installation.

Got the evap unit mocked up!

Had to search hard to find these bulkhead fittings for the Finch plate

Mastercool flaring tool for the AN fittings for fuel and brake lines. Fragola nuts and sleeves for -6 AN and Eastwood tubing straightener for 3/8.

Tube bender, fuel filter, SS 3/8 line and GM quick disconnects and -6 AN line to fuel pump!

My HWY 15 kit is going to be modified still need relays for fuel pump, AC, fans, and accessories.



Trying to plan ahead and think of all the parts I might need and I thank Vince for sharing his knowledge and answering all my stupid questions!

Post install pictures to come, thanks for looking …

Post Update 7/12

Well here's the status of the apparatus .... been on the injured reserve list for several months with a pinched nerve in my back, osteoarthritis in the left wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome, and right shoulder rotator cup injury. Yikes ... COVID pushed any operations and rehab out months but I did get the carpal tunnel release surgery (big ol honking slice in my palm) in May and injections at L4/L5 and L5/S1 in June.

The left hand is better after 8 weeks but not back to 100%. So to work on my mental health I have been working on the Camaro doing bodywork on the driver's fender, header, and valance panel. Laid down two coats of SPI epoxy inside and out, and fixed the low areas with some filler. Now to spray some primer surfacer and get the panels sanded down to 400. Then spray some Raptor on the inside of all these panels, that's all

I'll post pictures as soon as ImageShack lets me upload pictures ...

Finished sanding all the small parts to 220 and started on the hood, couple low spots to fill on the corners and then spray some primer/surfacer hopefully tomorrow ... going to be cooler than 98 maybe?


Thanks for looking ...

Thanks Wayne, I think my warranty ran out and everything is breaking now!!!



Not much to show but a whole lot of work to get here .... prime, sand, and repeat multiple times! Filled the low spots and re-primed with SPI epoxy primer then 2 coats of primer/surfacer ... if you really want to see how bad your body work is sand the surfacer w 400 and it shows all the bad areas, ask me how I know,

And I used a SEM Urethane Flexible Foam between the inner and outer layers of the hood where I cut out for the hood vents ... the skin was moving too much when I was sanding. When the directions say 2 minutes cure time they ain't kidding, if you pause to reposition or think the foam cures at the nozzle .... went through 5 mixing tubes





Little more sanding before surfacer ...





2 coats of Primer/Surfacer...





Sanded the hood with 400 grit ... not too bad but needs some putty in a couple spots!



Mandatory for straight body work ...



Thanks for looking ....

I don't miss that stage of the build, but it's totally worth it.

Looking good.

Flat body work that’s the only place I’m ever allowed to try.
