Project Old School update

[Andrew McBride]

I picked up my modified F-body oil pan about a week ago. I had another stock F-body pan that is next to it for comparison. A buddy of mine who welded it did a fantastic job.



Got my new wilwood master cylinder. I waited for a month to get this thing in because the black ones were on back order through the dealer I went with.

Also, p/u an 02' Camaro radiator and fan set-up from a friend who had a wrecked Z28, the price was right! Free. The friend who welded my oil pan is going to help me weld some mounting brackets and then a piece of 3" aluminum channel to cover the top of the radiator. It should fit well and look pretty good. I am going to clean it up and paint the radiator 30% semi gloss like all my other parts.


I bought a stock pwr steering set-up off of ebay. The new ones were pricey, so I found a low mileage unit that should work great with my stock accessories.

I haven't got the motor back together, but here is a picture of the water pump painted up. I am trying my best to make it look kinda like an old school block, and I think it should turn out pretty cool when I am done. The alternator, all the bracketry, pulleys are painted a low semi gloss with Dupont high heat paint and so far everything has came out looking pretty good to me.
