looks good but make sure they pull the sway bar and flip it over before they drop the engine in.

I just saw this link, and you beat me to it!



Great car. I'll forward this link to my bro, but he's really looking for a '65 fastback to build.

Thanks guys!

The shop that put the swaybar on wont be touching my car again!

I have a great mechanic now that is going over all.
I bought stainless bolts to replace all suspension bolts that weren't stainless or zinc
plated.

I also purchased Billet Specialties Pro Bolts for the front sheet metal and
Totally Stainless OE style stainless bolts for the rest of the body. Inside the car,
I have a master screw kit that is labeled for each area to make sure the small details
are correct.

Thanks for the forward!
If the car gets to mechanics (mid January) I will finish it

Just ordered the new heat exchanger from C&R Racing.
Part number 56-00010.
This is a direct fit heat exchanger.
No mods needed other than one drilled hole in the
radiator support!

C&R saved me a boatload of $$$$, as I would have had to have one custom made
and modify my hood latch \ support.

The exchanger is designed for ZR1 ZL1 LSA high horsepower applications, so will
be perfect with my forged LS3.

C&R worked directly with Vintage Air on this part.
It is said to work perfectly with the Vintage Air condenser!

Purchased it from Summit Racing for $599 shipped.

Firewall almost done. A little more body work needed.

Aligning fenders, hood, header panel, cowl, etc after this.

After this, we will paint the underbody. Mechanics soon after!

[Blevinator]

Finally some progress!

Core support, firewall, cowl, dash have been painted PPG carbon Flash Metallic.

Lizardskin on underside painted satin black (John Deere Blitz Black)

Next is electrical.mechanics soon after. Things will definitely pick up now!

[Blevinator]

Electrical started!!

C&R is one of those little known gems. They do all of the cup cars. They don't use epoxy or cheap cores. I've been a fan for awhile now. Getting ready to order their LS swap radiator for my El Camino project. Will never run another brand. Eager to hear how you enjoy yours!

New wheels

I am working on a '68 very similar to yours. Would you mind sharing what size wheels and tires you ended up using, and what back spacing you specified?

Thanks.

Went to drop off some loom for my wiring today (replacing all plastic loom with fiberglass\fabric loom)
My car is sitting next to the Spurs 1969 Camaro.
I was talking to the electrician working on my car, telling him what all mods, etc I am doing to my car.
He remarked by saying "It will never be what the Spurs Camaro is"
I asked why wouldnt it be? He said that the Spurs Camaro was "built for the Spurs"
I asked him what the Spurs Camaro would sell for. He said they probably have 200k in it and
went on to say that I could never afford it, and to not make him laugh.
WOW!
I only have 100k cash in my car so far, so he must be right.
I am in sales and have rarely, if ever, had someone say something so out of place to a customer.
Hes very good at what he does, just set me back a little with his words.

So I had to Google what the "spurs Camaro" was after reading this.
Meh... Besides the ZL1, it just looks like a dated overhaulin' wanna be.
This is exactly why I have a picture of my '95 integra from high school on my fridge. With its huge spoiler/body kit and clear tail lights, it was the hottest ride in the parking lot..now it just looks silly(although I maintain to this day that my rare JDM Mugen spoiler was the ****)
Keep it clean people

Heres an issue I really need input on.
Using an American Autowire harness
My electrician is telling me I will see an 8 inch run of wire from the factory pre cut hole for the fusebox to the back of the motor

Cant the fusebox be relocated to the other side of the trans tunnel??

Any other ideas?

Any help here is much appreciated!

Update: Ended up spacing the fusebox off the firewall and running the wires
through the passenger compartment. My idea!

[Blevinator]

Still moving along!

Moar!!

[Blevinator]

Moar!!

There will be much more soon!
Going into mechanics after a few weeks!
Fun will really begin.
I have the entropy LS swap radiator with the Entropy direct LS fan control harness.
Believe me, next few months, this beast will look totally different!

Coming along nice. Can't wait to see more updates.
