Tore up the garage looking for the dang ARP polylocks ... Hello Jegs?

Did get something done today .... welded up the cuts I made in the DSE wheel house. Time consuming welding, hammer and dolly, repeat!

Waiting on parts to finish the engine, Ride Tech airbar, and grade 8 bolts .... I'll finish dressing the wheel house tomorrow and then prep the 12 bolt for the 4 link and paint.




Thanks for looking ....

Making progress on the inner, got the relief cuts welded and made the closeout piece for the driver's side inner, also smoothed out the sway bar ends and steering arms from where they were bent .... don't want stress fractures.


Setting up the patch!


All smoothed out and ready for paint.


Inner tub all ready to weld in .... my plasma cutter got outa hand on the outer


That is why I reformed the edge to fit my car .... nice tight gaps!!!

Well, tomorrow is another day, thanks for looking ....

mounted on drivers side! Got the used parts cleaned up so they are respectable to mount on the Camaro ... drivers side mounted and looking so good, I'm pleased!!!!





I have replacement hubs already lined up, just have to road trip to get them. My Ride Tech air bar should be here Thursday ... yeah!

Thanks for looking ...

Lookin' good! Those cleaned up nicely!

[Sonar Chief]

Yeah, a little elbow grease and some WD40 they came out pretty good, the new hubs will make nice too, figure I'll dress them a little nicer when time comes to paint them for final install.

Got the sway bar ends on today and finished buttoning up the heads on the motor .... work on the intake tomorrow and do some sandblasting of the front leaf perches.

Always somethin' to do ... thanks for lookin'

That is just a great looking setup. The tubular arms are great too but I am partial to the factory cast items for some reason.

[waynieZ]

They look sweet on there.

I am pleased with the components, I think a simple clear coat and she'll be looking good.

Thanks, I think so too!!!

Also got out the original valve covers and cleaned them up, made mounts for the original shocks, unpacked the Ride Tech box ... just like Christmas!!! I'll finish the engine tomorrow and lift the car back onto stands and drop the engine into the frame. I had to order longer u bolts for the multi leaf setup on the 12 bolt, they'll be here on Monday.















So I'll work on the air bar fitment and get that all lined up w the 12 bolt, spray some epoxy, and keep plugging on .....

Thanks for looking ...

[waynieZ]

Sounds like a plan!

[Sonar Chief]

frame in ... PITA by yourself! Especially when my car was one of the variants that didn't line up with the holes just right.... I wrestled it into place. Epoxied the leaf mounts, bolted the shock mounts and got the bars ready for test fitting, and spent another 3 hours cleaning up the trunk pan (my arms are tired now) and rails for some epoxy tomorrow ... supposed to be 80 degrees.




Wanted to get the holes drilled out on the frame but I didn't have a driver for the drill to get the bolts in ... I'll get that in the morning and then prep for painting.

Not much progress ... it's clean thou!!!

Thanks for looking ...
