My 80 Z Clone Pro Touring in progress

[J. Chris Davis]

Finished up the back which should finish all of the sound proofing inside of the cabin. Now to work on reinstalling the pedal assembly and dash brackets.

I previously had the pedals and dash brackets sand blasted and powder coated.

Pedals and dash brackets reinstalled.

You're crushing this install and moving right along. Keep this up and you may be driving it next month!

[J. Chris Davis]

The goal is to have it ready next spring. Might be sooner than that at the rate I'm going. Changing the oil and going to start the Camaro today to make sure I have no coolant system leaks after replacing the heater core and hoses before I go too much further.

[J. Chris Davis]

Put the dash in so I could get the dash brackets adjusted and that allowed me to get the console in and get that front bracket installed. Might have to make some adjustments after final install but it looks pretty close.

[J. Chris Davis]

Installed the Kilmat in the trunk and taped up the seams.

[J. Chris Davis]

Finally got to the install of the electric parking brake set up. here are some pictures from that project. Used the Lokar kit, a linear actuator and a couple of custom brackets for LS1 brakes.

Still a bit dirty under the car that I still need to clean up. I'm also using 12" Race Ramps to support the car. Much better than floor jacks.

Computer has been down for a week so I haven't been able to update things. I was able to get a 1/4" plate and have it bent to the shape I needed for the electric parking brake bracket. Everything seems to be working well.

Umm, excuse me but what is the red RR net to it???

With all that mat in there you might not hear the engine running,

[J. Chris Davis]

Made some progress on wiring and installed the carpet since I need to run wires over that. I also installed a GNTX-221 Gentex rearview mirror with map lights and compass. I had to get a mount from another mirror so it would work with my mount. Easy enough to take these apart and change.

[J. Chris Davis]

I apologize my notifications must be turned off as I did not see your post until now. That is a 73 RR next to the Camaro.
Hoping to make the interior as quite as possible.

[J. Chris Davis]

Just a little update. Still working away on wiring. I did get some headliner material to install on the headliner board and put that back in.

[J. Chris Davis]

Working away on wiring. I will be cleaning everything up once I am finished running wire for everything. I wanted additional items that I did not want to run off of my factory fuse panel so I added another one with relays that will be accessible through the glove box door. I won't have a glove box insert anymore but don't really need it. I also picked up a rear package tray from Classic Industries and installed my rear speakers.

[J. Chris Davis]

Small update. All of the wiring is completed. Just need to get the wires all bundled up and out of the way of stuff like the vents. I also found a place for the keyless entry module in the driver kick panel hole.

[ryeguy2006a]

Looks like a lot of work! Not sure if that keyless entry module is waterproof, but in the event you were caught in the rain you could get water in that kick panel location.

[LUV2XLR8]

It looks like you're running 1/4" brake from the distribution block line to the rear tee fitting before it splits over the axle... I'm assuming from the tee it's 3/16" to the rear disks.. did you have any issues building pressure or bleeding the calipers?

[J. Chris Davis]

Should be fine. Never had water get in that area before. This car also never gets driven in anything but sunny weather.

No issues. Brakes work great.

Small update. I have the rear interior panels and package tray installed.

What will you place over the insulation in your trunk? Carpet?

[J. Chris Davis]

Yes, I plan on putting some padding down and carpet. I have panels that I previously made out of cardboard for the trunk but plan to redo those in wood.

[J. Chris Davis]

Wiring is finished and loomed ready for the dash.
