Re: Time for an update!

nice project, but im going to have to disagree with one thing: shaving the nose emblem. these cars look naked without them! btw, what wheel and tire combo are you running?

nice work man

rwdtech: Wheels are 18x8 front and 18x10 rear. Tires are 235/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. I love the shaved nose emblems, it draws your attention to something else then the emblem, it makes the front end a lot more aggressive.

Re: Time for an update!

Gonna agree with Spikez on this one.... Shaved front emblem looks awsome!!! I feel like it was one of my best body mods.

Re: Time for an update!

Time? hmmm... I dont really know, I just work on her as money/woman permits. lol Seriously, its more of a money thing.

Body re-assembly alone was a solid 40hours. Making the LS1 harness from scratch was something like 20hours. Sound deadener was about 6-7hours. Re-wiring body harness and other misc. stuff 50hours. Im just taking my time to do everything right, the first time. Its the 3rd time I dissasemble the car, and I aint doing it again. The worst is done and let me tell you, all that $$ and time was worth every bit of it. I can work several hours on her and when Im tired or have to go; close the light, and I dont even have to wash my hands.

Re: Time for an update!

Amazing job you have done so far.............

Quick question....how are you going to put gas in it. I saw the cap coming through the drivers inner rear fender but how are you going to access it?

Re: Time for an update!

From the trunk trim on the driver side. Camaros (Maybe Birds too) have a locking compartment there, like a small glovebox. That's where Ill access it. Btw, updates coming soon!
