Making my own, I have a jig now too, haha. I cut out the framerails/firewall out of LS1 car and kept it. That way I can also make some gnarly headers.
G
ot a little cleaning/work done at shop today, 1st time I've been up there all week.

That Long John Silver commercial came on when I got there.

GIMME THAT FILETOFISH GIMME THAT FISSHSHHH (woo)

It is now stuck in my head.





Finally got the shop cleaned where former Ls1 car lived/died.

Image

Also got some stuff in the mail couple days ago, got an accusump and some weatherpack connectors.

Image

And got the car in after pushing it outside to turn it around.

Image

Then I had to leave and go do some stuff on campus


















Then I came back for about 3 hours and got started on a lot of stuff

This is what it looked like when I left
Image

Got the wilwood clutch master in, removed the front suspension stuff that is getting replaced, cleaned a lot of crap, hung the motor about where I think I want it, took a bunch of measurements, and took some measurements of the shop so I can buy some lumber and build a second floor. Got a lot done, thanks to my buddy Matt too for helping out, and the Snap-on guy for selling me my awesome cordless impacts that let me tear apart cars in like 5 minutes.

Haha! So this car is totally awesome. It has personality, character, it has style[/b]. The doorpanels are a piece of leather with a piece of aluminum breaking up the materials, the dashboard is laid out awesome, obviously different guages are needed, but i love the stock bezels. Threw an old Sparco in it to see how much room, the whole car just fits like a glove, I love it. So much cooler than the boring mass produced stuff nowadays, granted I loved my 240, and it looked awesome, but this camaro is just gonna blow it outta the water, I'm really excited about it. I
ve seriously spent 5 years looking for it, and its perfect, exactly what I wanted. 4 Speed car, a lotta rust in repairable places, cheap, roller, love it. Came with everything exactly how I wanted, no turn signals on front, the spoiler, its so awesome.

Iphone and LED shoplight

Doorsills, its so cool the stamps people took pride in stuff back then, now everything is purely marketing, this is soo cool to me.

Image

I cant wait to put these on:
Image

Still have broke hand, but gonna go ahead and do what I can taking some stuff off. One the things I'm excited about is I'm gonna take some these parts I'm not using to a swap meet, I just need to find one to go to. I've always wanted to go to one.

This is so fun for me, this is what playing with cars should be all about and I'm super thankful the opportunity to play with this happened. Sooo stoked.
