Rather dirty but the fit pretty good! I have to do a little BFH on the back inside and a little cutting of this goofy insider fender thing in the front. But this is right height and what it will look like. Fits better than I thought! And yes Ian... bigger brakes would look better LOL.

Goofy stock setup.

Prop Valve and Line Lock installed.

True, true, they would. Very Happy

Looks good Mr Fab!

Are those oil lines going right through there? They won't be affected by the manifold heat?

When is it going to be rolling around embarrassing thirdgens?

What's next, Driveline and Rear?

Can't wait to see how quick this thing is on just motor!

Awsome!!

I'm betting it runs 13.02 seconds in the quarter. Laughing

The oil lines have a tie to make them much farther away. Just had it up to do the brake stuff.

The picture is decieving too, they are pretty clear now.

The goal is to be embarassing Thirdgens on the 26th of this month but we'll see what happens. I might be doing a valve spring swap on the Camaro. Not that it's alot of time, but alot of the play funds.

Next is cutting the perches off the rear, mounting it... and picking up a new rad. The junkyard one leaked so I took it back.

Guess it is my turn... can everyone else see the pics? It keeps telling me that the URL can not be found or is invalid.

Confused

They work for me, on both IE and Firefox. Must be a Comcast thing??? I see that's where they're hosted.

That looks awesome! Think it will go on the rollers for the 26th? I wish I could drive my V6 car down, but that thing is brutal on the south seattle washboards they call a highway.

Radiator and Fan bolted up tonight. All the hoses done.

All that's left in the engine bay is tying down a few wires and making a loom for the plug wires. Oh yeah, and filling it with coolant!

Time to finish the rubber brakeline routing and trim the fenders.

junkyard rad or new rad?

Twilightoptics · Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:23 pm Post subject:

Spankin new. Got it through work for $100.

Todays update:

Installed door glass.
Rad/fan mounts painted and all mounted with fan.
Brake mounts beefed up and clearanced right.
Brake lines/mounts all installed.

All I have to do is get the right lug nuts, cut some fender space, and BFH some fender space, align the toe and the front end is done baby!

Then it's put the rear in, make the driveline... and this baby is on the road!
It's alot stiffer now with the sway bar and control arms locked down.

Should actually handle pretty well with a pretty decent ride.
