'68 Camaro - Modern T/A

[Protournova]

The plan was to wait with engine and transmission, but in order to be able to finish all metal work I decided to get a block and empty cylinder heads. Hopefully the alu block (sbc) arrives from the states in a couple of weeks. With block and heads in place I can make brackets and mounts for exhaust, fuel lines etc before media blast and primer.

I forget that you have to ship most of your parts in... how much $$ does it add to the deal. One thing about having to ship it in.. justifies alu or at least a good excuse.

The last order I placed, I payed approx 6.40 swedish crowns per dollar. With shipping, tolls and taxes it ended up around 8.50 sek per dollar. Still that is a good deal compared to if I were to purchase those parts from a swedish dealer, which often takes 12-14sek per dollar (excluding domestic shipping).

Got some steel wheels that will be used during the build.

Fuelcell installation started with moving the two AN8s which gave me the opportunity to practice tig-welding. Small modification had to be done in the trunk as well.

That worked out slick... how is the angle on the gas cap side? Boy that is tuuubed...

Haven´t made the flange under the cap yet. Remains to be seen...

I know it's been said a million times but your garage is AWESOME.
The Camaro looks great as well. If it were mine, I'd almost consider clear coating it the way it is now.

Yes, he´s a local - here in Sweden... =) He made just a few to promote his company. I won this cap in a hot rod magazine (Gasoline) competition.

Don´t remember exact size. Borrowed those wheels. Think they are 235 in front. Just about to test some 28/12.5 in the back on my Aero wheels. Think it´ll fill out the wheel arches quite nice Sounds like You have a nice project there. Yes, go with 15"!

Been working on my Econoline for awhile. Started yesterday though installing brackets for dzus in/on(?!) the trunklid. Never used dzus before - quite tricky to get them levelled etc.

That would be great if you could post them, I'm sure a lot of people on here would have interest in that.
