My 67 Camaro update

[navyflyer72]

Well she is off to have an alignment and a few small electrical loose ends tied up. I should have her back sometime next week. It will be the first time in 4 years that I have turned the key and driven her... probably doesn't need to be said, but I can't wait! Here she is headed off...

Cool ride. Those are some big brakes on the front. It fills up the rim nice. If its been 4 years, I know you are more than ready for her. Nice job.

Very nice job. I dig the color combo. What drivetrain are you running?

Nice! What is the color?

[vanzuuk1]

The car looks really nice, get the rear to sit a little lower and it will have a perfect stance.

Beautiful Camaro man!

I really like the color combo, brakes and wheels. I love TTII's

I remember loading mine onto the flatdeck a few months back to get some things finalized. I was soooo happy to get it home after 4 months!

[navyflyer72]

Actually, you are correct,the front is coming up about 1/2 - 3/4 inch to get the fenders off the tires, and the rear is going to come down about 1-2 inches to level out the stance. Can't wait to get her back.

[Johnny Blaze]

It will ge dead on when you adjust it.

Oh, and what is the color?

What he said!!!

[BADVELLE]

Very Nice! Post More Pic's, Soon!

[navyflyer72]

Thanks for the compliments, the color is a ford color, paint code TK, I think someone posted the name before it is like shadow or something like that, I will look it up again. I liked it because it was really subtle with the black Z-28 stripes and it changes really slightly with the sun from a dark metallic to a light grey metallic from different angles. The metallic is very slight also.

Cool. Looks very good. Did you install the painless harness? IF so, what did you tihnk about it?

[navyflyer72]

Johnny,

I did install the painless harness, I think it is probably a "relatively" easy install if you are going back to original specs, but with all of the misc. modern stuff I added it took me a LONG time to install it. I laid it out and zip-tied everything into bundles based on where it was to be routed, with a zip-tie every 2 inches, that helped keep things neat and orderly. Terminating the wire ends was somewhat time consuming. You really need to have all the components, a bunch of ends (weather-paks, or crimp/solder on), and a WHOLE lot of time. As you can see from my description of the car above, there was a lot of non-stock additions. But I also know that it was done right, so that is added piece of mind.
