Car fired up today..
We temporarily plumbed the fuel cell. After SEMA it will all be done in hardline, for now we did braided.
And if anyone is curious.. here's the bottom side.. not flashy but very functional.

Looks Damn nice! Congrats on getting her back on the road!
Where did you get your driveshaft? And why don't you want to keep the braided line? Smell?Camaro Convertible Build Pics - http://s447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/rob07002/

The reason for ditching the braided is asthetic. The hardline will just look better inside the trunk. I haven't had a gas smell problem with the XRP braided line."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Only kidding, I'm the same way. What was the shaft? Around $400?Camaro Convertible Build Pics - http://s447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/rob07002/

$470 I think.. with the super nice yoke and all the other goodies. Originally Posted by rob07002

You can look good.. it's just bad when you put the looks ABOVE the function.
Like the billet hood hinges.. are the necessary? no.. do they hurt performance in any way? no.. so it's all good. That sort of deal.
I just don't have the time to get the car to my car that has the tools to bend 1/2 inch stainless line so the braided will have to do for a month.

best seats out there and I've ran them in this fabric on my last two cars, might as well continue the tradition.

That has to be one of my all time favorite undercarriage photos. Of course, I'm a little biased, but oooh-la-la!!!! Tight, clean, tidy, sweet.

Very clean. Love the exhaust coating! Are you running 3" the whole way or 2.5" tails?

Lord Fusor for the undercoat. It's a lightweight/rubbery coating. Maybe added 4 lbs to the car. Requires a special gun to shoot it. Originally Posted by 01somta

Oh, btw... notice the bung just behind the passengers side headers. I had that put there for the chassis dyno guy.
This way he doesn't have to disconnect my O2 sensors to install his for tuning. I highly reccomend this to anyone with an EFI system. Makes life a lot easier.
The 3-inch X-pipe is from Magnaflow."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."
