      Spent a few hours re-routing the wiring from the painless universal harness... Going to have to cut and extend a few things since alot of electronics were moved around from conventional locations. Fuse panel is moved to the top of the trans tunnel. There is an interior panel that goes right in front to conceal it, but still have good access to it. Should be much better than tucked all the way up under the dash.


      Picked up some of the audio equipment yesterday too... Trying to keep it super simple, but still have some nice sound quality. Im putting 2 Infinity 6.5" woofers in the kick panels, and the tweeters in the dash where the factory vents used to be (I only use the foot and defrost vents anyway). Fed by just an iPhone with the JL Audio volume control to a super small and lightweight Kicker 100W 2 channel amp.

      Thanks! Super nice pieces, but my order got lost or something so turn around time was a little slow... they admitted to messing up. ***** happens and it shows alot that they came clean. I would deal with them again

      Love the Vettes and got into Camaros at a young age cause I could never swing owning one. Someday I will build a Vette just like this!

      Few more little things I got done...
      Heres the amp Im using. 100 Watts, very small and draws only 10 amps at full load. Lightweight too!


      I made a heater control delete plate to put my Honda Push start, ignition and acc switches


      Got rid of the 1DIN radio plate and made a new one for the JL audio volume control and iPhone dock

      Thanks for the concern guys! All I lost was power... My shop and home are on high ground so we stayed dry. Lots of people lost alot more than just power though. The next town over (Sea Bright) is non existent now. Lots to rebuild!

      Doesnt look like much has changed but most wires are now routed properly, and I think* I have everything wired properly. Crossing my fingers that everything works as it should when I hook up a battery!



      The most time consuming thing so far would be making everything serviceable and removable as if it came from the factory like this. I dont really ever picture myself taking any of this apart again, and probably no one else will see any of it. But knowing that its done right makes me sleep at night.

      This is the circuit board and controller for the in-dash shift light and on-the-fly rev limiter control. Added plugs for all of the different in/outputs.


      Now everything is pulled out of the car again to get it ready to lay some lizard skin down

      Another small update...
      Santa brought me a few corvette goodies. Some AeroCatch hood latches, and a set of Corbeau 4 point retractable locking harnesses
      It took me a few days to build up the courage to chop up a nice original BB hood, but the deed is done and Im glad I did it. Now I can feel a little better about cutting up the front part of the hood for the head extractor radiator setup.



      Lizard skin is down, and Im just waiting for a my next free second to bring the car to the guy who is going to build my cage. Then all the electronics can go back in and I can move on with the next project!

      Hey Cris I gotta say I love what your doing.
      I have been a Corvette Tech for 18 years now and I have met few guys that use their Vette for what it was intended for. Racing!!!
      You said; "Kind of a shame that out of hundreds of corvettes, only a handful hit the auto x" and I concur. When we would have our Corvette Fest you could tell when the new zo6's we doing the 1/4 mile in 14.5 sec they didn't know what they were doing and/or didn't want to hurt their car.
      Performance cars were meant to perform. You have the perfect idea as to what your Vette was meant for.
      I have talk to **** Guldstrand many times throughout the years and he has always said one thing; "Race car guys take a car and rip it apart to make it lighter and faster." That is exactly what he has been doing since 1964. Love that old guy.

      Anyway, Kudos to you.

      Thanks Kacy!
      And Toby- I have only met a small handful of other corvette owners that actually race their cars. Thanks for the Kudos!

      More progress!
      This is one of the very few things that I have farmed out to have someone else do for me. Im glad I did though because I dont think I could have done a nicer job so far. My goal is to have a simple roll cage just for my personal safety and chassis stiffening. My car is on street duty 90% of the time so it has to be very tight and unobtrusive too. I dont plan on racing in any events that require a cage but when I do open track days I like it for my own peace of mind. It is based loosely off of SCCA specs. Very pleased with how its coming out so far...

      Sorry for some of the crappy cell phone pics



      Here is how its bolted to the frame...
      1.5" long .75" chromemoly slug threaded for 7/16" bolts with a 3/16 washer welded to the frame
      (rear bars get 2 bolts, main hoop gets 3)



      (temporary bolts)






      All 1.75x.095 chromemoly. He said he was able to remove the entire rear hoop + rear legs from the car so it will be fully welded by tomorrow so I can paint everything outside the car before it goes back in. Then I get to take the car back to my shop, pull the motor so he has front frame access and get started on the halo, a-pillar bars and dash bar.
