Started a new job at the beginning of October. The main part of it is engine machining. It's been a lot of fun learning how to do that! The other part though, is building this car. The idea is for it to be a completely modern version of a '67 Camaro. The drivetrain is a GM Performance Products LS3 with 480 hp, with a Tremec T56. Rear end is a Moser 12-bolt w/ posi and bolt-in axles. Front suspension will be Fatman G-tech spindles, and it will have Kore3 brakes all around. A few other parts we've got so far...Ididit column, Detroit speed booster and master cylinder, Detroit Speed select-a-speed wiper motor, Detroit speed subframe connectors, Competition Engineering solid subframe bushings, and Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum A/C. Most of the fab work is done, it will be off to bodywork and paint soon.
Sorry for the poor pictures, there are all from my phone...haven't remembered to bring a real camera yet.

Smoothed firewall, Willwood clutch m/c mounted and relocated wiring harness location for more clearance around the m/c.

Only required a slight bump at the front of the tunnel to fit the T56

Car was not factory air, had to cut the holes for the astro vents. Also heavily modified the center of the dash to fit a '69 center A/C vent, a double DIN stereo, and the Vintage Air controls at the bottom.
