do you know the base timing?

 

No. I personally didn't set it, my buddy did. Seems to run good. Should I retard it a little?

 

Started mounting the headlight covers. Got two top tabs on each. Need 2 or 3 more in each, and they'll sit better. I like them though, I'm
Gunna do a small lexan rear spoiler too. I just like the look.

 

Are you going to tint those headlight covers?

 

Nope I like them clear.

 

Got the rs badges mailed out today they said should be there in three days or so

 

Awesome! You have officially contributed to my build, your mj ey will be in the mail first thing tomorrow morning! Thanks man!

 

Not much got done today, took a few pics. Painted te underside of the hood all black. Took some pics before I painted.



Still excited on how nice my tail lights came out


Car still has running issues. Runs and revs fine in neutral but with any load it's sputtering and dying.

 

its looking good man love the "slayer" underneath the hood

 

Thanks man! Haha the slayer is gone now, but it was a nice touch.

 

also i was afraid of the fuel pump running when i started the car so i cut the wire. curious if i messed something up with the gas gauge? it doesnt work. need to fix that. itd be nice if any of my gauges worked!

 

Well first off a big thank you to 86_irocz-28. He got those badges out promptly and they complete the cars missing emblems. Awesome. Took a few pics today, I'll get more done tomorrow.




What do you guys think of this? Black Camaro emblem off a new Camaro. Painted.

 

good glad they got to you cars looking good have you picked out wat color youll be painting it?

 

Well I think it'll stay in primer
For a little bit, and I think when the time comes it'll be orange. I'm gunna paint my truck and see how I do at painting.

 

Picked this up today. Now the gf has one. Super clean black interior full exhaust 305 auto. Headers were a nice surprise!

 

looks like a good find how much was it? wish my gf was into camaros to she just wrecked her 95 altima and now were getting this 89 lx mustang its a 5.0 for $900

 

Nice. Hers was 2200.

 

This is the spoiler I want to make. Anyone have a link to those tirnbuckle things?

 

Started straightening out the dent.
Here's what I started with

After pulling it slightly straight

Heating up my bent bumper

I have to get some bondo and fill in the low spots. It should be pretty good when I finish.

 

Got a few things from the previous owner. I need help. He gave my the factory shroud, fan, coolant and washer reservoirs, and a bunch of extra parts I can use on the red RS. My question is, how much am I missing for the fan to work?
Here's the fan

Can I just hook up power and ground? How does it attach?
Some other pics.

 

some just take zip ties through the radiator and strap it on that way ive seen some make custom brackets as far as whats missing im not sure as ive never had electric fans although once i do my 383 swap i will be updating to electric fans from summit also i received your letter that was a pretty cool drawing my gf thought it was awesome.

 

Haha awesome. Well I notice that it has moving parts so it can't sit against the radiator.

 

Got it done! So much nicer. Comes on with key on.

And here's my lexan t tops that I want to paint.

 

Tonight's project, recovering the dash cover.

 

Looks good!

 

Completed

 

Bought some
Bondo to finish my dent Repair. Also decided to smooth the antenna hole, and the nose emblem.

 

Looking good & nice progress!!!!

 

Thank you! It's nice to get some positive feedback!!!
Today I finished filling the nose emblem, but I'm
Not sure if I like it. Might put a decal there. The antenna hole is filled, came out really good. Also my dent is almost done. I primered it to see howuch more
Body filler I needed, almost there! Looks better than before. Also it was the first day being next to my girlfriends new 91 RS.
Nose emblem filled.


Antenna hole filled

Dent half done

The bumper is all messed up and there's still a lot of low spots, but it's getting better.

 

Almost forgot!!

 

So I started dying the interior. The carpet and all the plastics will be black. Gotta find a due for the seats. I'll get some Pics ASAP.

I also got a cowl hood installed!
......too bad its on the wrong vehicle!

 

In case you need help or arent sure on how to dye the interior heres a thread that shows the steps https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...ic-carpet.html

 

Looking good what did you use to coat the engine bay?

 

Looking good bro what did you use to coat the engine bay?

 

It's just flat black rattle can. Nothing p
Crazy.

 

OK thanks the picture made it look like something special, keep up the good work.

 

Your dash pad looks great. Did you use vinyl? I did on mine and it came out alright but yours looks better. Good job on the build!

 

Yup vinyl. I mean I went over everything, so it looks smooth. Thank you for the compliments. I'm happy people are reading this!

 

Whoa!! Did you paint the truck and not the camaro?? Common, dont let the third gen nation down!!! Fix that dent and paint her!!

 

No! The truck just has a painted hood!!! Lol

 

Also did you make or buy those headlight covers? How do they attach?

 

Great build so far. I can't wait till you do that spoiler. Definantley excited to see how it will look

 

I made them out of 1/4" plexiglass and attached them using 1/4 turn fasteners and l-shaped brackets bent to match the angle on the bottom and made some simple brackets for the top. I used to sell them a while back on here but stopped making them after my daughter was born. Here are some old pics.

 

Would you be interested in makin me those fasteners? Lol.

 

Thank you! Not sure if I'm just gunna do a lip, a little higher attached to the stock spoiler, or a full lexan piece.

 

Well keep us posted

 

I'll probably start with a 2 or 3 inch lip off the existing spoiler. So we'll see if that looks good. If not I'll make one like on big mods car, or buy the hawks.

 

I wish I had the time. The 1/4 turn fasteners I used were from a BMW X3 bottom engine panel. I had a ton of them but they're gone now. The brackets are very simple to make. The lower brackets are L-shaped brackets bent back some and screwed into the bumper. The upper are made of aluminum I bought at home depot. Here's a pic of the first ones I ever made to give you an idea of they look like.

 

If you move your battery to the truck you will want to buy another battery.... You cannot have a vented battery inside your car. It vents gasses and no good will come of that. You dont want to be breathing vapors from your acid battery..........

You will need an optima or another non vent battery. You will know you have a non vent battery when its mountable in any position.... sideways, upside down... which ever way you want. I put my battery in my spare wheel compartment since I dont need a spare wheel. A good non vent battery will cost you about $200 give or take some depending on the battery you chose. Cheap batteries are just that.. A good non vent one will be closer to $300. But that also depends on who you know too I suppose
