Wow!! What clean, tidy, meticulous work. The attention to detail is top notch.

I am about to instal my fly by wire gas pedal in my 69 camaro. Ive got a few ideas in my head but haven't put tools to metal yet. I'm interested how you determined the optimal pedal position in relation to the stock brake and clutch pedals. I would love any input you have. Closer pics of your mounting solution would be great if your willing to share.

Love the glove compartment and speaker enclosures. Are the open holes in the rear speaker plates for ports from an eventual subwoofer box????? hmmm

A little sound deadning mat inside those enclosures and poly fill (pillow stuffing) would help with any resonance and standing waves. Should sound great. Focals are top shelf!!

Here you go, hope this the helps. I'm not fished, I still have a little to finish up, but I do that when it's back on the rotisserie.

I spoke to a Focal rep and he had advise me to leave the speaker buckets open so they have plenty of air. The fronts a vented out the bottom which the Focal rep told me was fine. Yeah, when I get to final assembly they will some sound deadener for sure.

A little update. Here are some pictures of the exhaust system. We bought a Stainless Works system and modified the tail pipes to work with the DSE Quadra Link. We also added some Borla mufflers and some V-band clamps.

On the radiator tubes. I used a piece of one size larger tube, made it fit to the smaller tube and tiged it. Not sure about what your looking at on the the exhaust though. Are looking at the flange? If so thats part of the v-band.

I will be doing the inside of the trunk with Black and Aqua spatter paint. Beside the amps, sub box and battery the trunk will have a factory look. I may have a mat made to to fit the bottom, but I'm not sure about that.

Jay, another question about the lines. Do you know if they are annealed and where are you sourcing them from?
I've had trouble with some stainless lines wrinkling in the bends if they are not annealed enough and yours look perfect. That's why I'm asking,

Thanks again,
Joe

Hey Lenie, Never finished the build thread over here. Maybe I should bring it up to date..... What you think? Jeff doesn't use it all that much although he says he's going to use it this summer. I got my Red 69 running last Saturday. I should have some video to post up this weekend of it running. Your car is looking pretty awesome.

Since someone asked I'll bring the thread up to date. The Camaro has been done for a couple of year's now and it a blast to drive. Here are some picture of the wiring. Here are some picture of the wiring and most of it was cloth braided to give a nice factory look.

We had some problems with the MAST LS3 which MAST took care of with no problem what so ever. It was kind of a pain having to take the car back apart though. We decided to pay a little extra an upgrade to an 675 hp LS7https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2015/05/Picture1417-1.jpg (http://s816.photobucket.com/user/Jamess113/media/jeffs%20Camaro/Picture1417.jpg.html)

Here's the car all finished up. We took it out to the Goodguys Show in Columbus 2 year ago. We made a couple laps on the Auto Cross with only 400 shake down miles and did really well. Robbert McGaffen shot the car while we were in Columbus for Camaro Performer which ended up making the cover of the May 2014 issue.

It's a modified Stainless Work system. We added the V-band clamps, mufflers and made the tail pipes out parts that came with their kit. The only thing we didn't modify was the X-pipe.

Jay, once again, beautiful build and incredible attention to detail. Question, by chance do you recall what brand the window fuzzies were that you used? I have tried two different manufacturers and they both fit like crap and the quarter window outters are too short.

Thanks

Thanks! I'm pretty sure they're made by PUI. They have the wing tips on the quarter glass ones. The rear ones always seem to be to long. I can never seem to push them back far enough to get them to fit right so I end up trimming the ends furthest to the rear of the car, the end with the wing tip. I also drill my own holes for the screws as the ones in the body never line up. That away seems to help in my case. Hope that helps

Some pictures of the doors and interior going together. We ended up changeing the steering wheel as it was to small and we thought it looked out of place.

Thanks Jay! Were those original GM panels? They look like they are better than original. Great work.

No Tony, they are Al Knox aftermarket panels. The were warped really bad. He also had to shorten them a little before he covered them in leather. I bought a set of OER one's for my car they look about the same expect they're not warped. I guess we'll find out soon enough if the fit any better.

I really don't bother stopping in to say something in threads often, especially on firs gen Fs since there are so many now, but your fabrication and attention to detail is fantastic! Very nice work!

Jay,


I don't spend too much time on this site, but I still come over now and then to check out your builds for ideas. Something about your build style just looks right to me. Thanks again for posting all the photos to help others out!

Beautiful build. The LS-7 was well worth the need to change license plates, LOL.

Thanks! We changed the plate and it now reads LSX. We wanted an LS7 plate but someone else already had it.
