66 El Camino - Project CaMEANo

[Mr. Anderson]

Getting closer. Rear end pinion angle adjusted properly, shocks installed. Got some more sound deadener laid down. Finished patching a few holes in the panel between the interior and bed. Finished the brakes up (hadn't assembled the driver's side). Got the e-brake cables run and finished the fab needed to connect them to the Camaro handle. I wanted to keep the cables short and the routing simple, so I ran them straight over the driveshaft tunnel, through the rear panel and through the floorboards. This also kept them fairly hidden from under the car and out of the way of any exhaust routing. I made a sheetmetal cover for the cables to keep them free of any obstructions, which will be upholstered.



Cables not shown here.




Will probably make brakes lines next. Haven't decided if I'm going to use an el camino gas tank still, or try and fit a chevelle tank and hide the filler behind the rear plate. I have both tanks so it's just a matter of test fitting. Gotta come up with a little cash to pick up the rest of the interior pieces...headliner, door panels, sill plates, etc. Starting to get excited again!
