Today went well. installed the Firestone air bags. upper and lower control arms, new spindles. installed the front and rear Disc brake kit... new ball joint,bearings, tierods, ect.
also got the Painless Performance wire harness laid out. this is a complete body and engine harness for the LS1 motor and 4L65E trans.and all of the body wires as well. it is a pretty cool idea seem to be laying out nicely. mounted the fuse panel underthe dash. In stalled the Lokar black shifter on the trans and the pedal inside. need to locate the shifter and cut a hole in the floor next.
I figured I better take a few pics of me doing the work I didn't want you to think I had a Magic stick or something. LOL I'll keep you posted.

I just finished Painting the Lime Time Camaro.
Lamborghini Green base, with chacoal stripes, added some pinstripes around the strips, then Pearl flip flop tricoat over everything. added a little airbrushed fender vent just to spice it up. Finished it up with 4 coats of Clear coat. all done in PPG products. I used a Orange pinstripe color. the first up close pics really show off what the coor looks like. the other pics faded out whenI took the pic. Hope you all like it. It will take a little buffing tomorrow then finish putting it together.

I also got the Kwik Performance accessory brackets installed befor I took it into the booth. These are really nice bracket for anyone looking install was a breeze. as easy as a stock setup. I will add a coupe pics of that tomorrow.

We have the trunk almost finish, 2 Sony 10" subs, and Sony amp, NOS bottle, compressor from Firestone, Carbon fiber covered panels. Tail light installed, headlights installed all wiring done to them, adding driving lights where the hole in the grill are. Turn signals are in the headlights. brake boost installed, running brake line Classic tubing stainless steel, now and the fuel line is from Tube Tech. rad. hoses are on and the Classic auto air kit is finished up as well.
The Kwik Performance brackets fit perfect. I used the Corvette version so it gave me a little more room betwen the engine and rad. Radiator is from Mark 7 radiators. they made it to specs I asked for and bolted right up. They even offer black anodizing but I did not have time to wait the extra 2 weeks. Spal dual 11" fans are installed and wired to the painless harness, I did have to get a Speartech 4l60e to 4l80e conversion wire kit. Lokar shifter is installed, with the boot having the indicator on it. i used all of the Midnight series so the pedals and the shifter plate are Black anodized, look sweet.
got all of the Steel Rubber seals installed.
7 days till we leave!!! it gonna be close but we should make it.

Looking real good. What kind of headlights are those and what are you using for driving lights?

[customshop]

The headlight are black out lights from APC and the driving light are called 6 shooter from apc as well. they took a small amount of trimming to get them to fit but the headlight have the turn sgnal inside them so I was able to use the turn signal hole for the drving lights. I got the Magna flow stainless exhaust on today, Finished the Tube Teck stainless fuel lines, finished the Classic tubing stainless brake lines. Installed the ecm today. I hope to install the other Kinetik battery in the front and work on the Power steering lines and res. tonight after supper. Mabee fire it up Tomorrow. I hope!!!!
