New gas cap is on.  Trans temp sensor has been drilled and tapped and put on.  |

New terminal connections for the battery are on.  Here's a shot of the second fuel tank breather.  Some of the finished results from the modified filler neck.  The rims that are on the rears are FR500's. They are 17x10.5 with Nitto 555 315/35/17 tires, with a backspacing of 6.84". They were barely rubbing on the shocks, so I had to add spacers. When I get new weld wheels in the future, they will have a backspacing of 6.5" so I won't need the spacers then. This is with the spacers.     |

Front brakes are done, just waiting on a new check valve for the brake booster. Rear brakes are going on right now. The passenger side of the interior is put back in. Driver's side just needs a panel welded back in that was cut out to make room in the trans tunnel.  Exhaust tip is done.    |

Braided brake lines are on. I still have drums in the rear...only for now. Here the line for them.  Here are the front lines.   The red is just from the reflection of the camaro parked next to it. |

Little update, more to come soon. New brake booster is on and installed. The one that was on the car when I got it needed to be replaced.  Probably the most difficult thing on the whole build is putting in the Camaro gauge cluster, and making it look right. For the most part it's in, but there's still a little tweaking left to do on it.   Here's an idea on what it should look like.  The panel that's covering the hole we cut on the drivers side trans tunnel is on and secured. We tried welding it on, but the metal is very thin and it wasn't working like we wanted it to, so we fastened it on there and fiberglassed both sides of it to ensure it would stay intact. I also picked up a Wolfe Craft Racing 6 point cage. I'll probably have this installed here in a few months, once the car is actually running and getting broken in.  It's getting very close to being all buttoned up. We just need to relocate the fuel pressure regulator, plug in a few more things, and then ready to be dropped off at the tuner. Aside from tuning he'll just need to pin in the fuel pump and fans to the computer and mount the ECU in a place of his liking. |

Did you happen to see how much weight was saved with the tubular radiator support?

Did you happen to see how much weight was saved with the tubular radiator support? I didn't weigh it, but it was definitely a good chunk of weight. Especially with the matching tubular bumper support. I'm hoping the car will be under 3k pounds with me in it. |

Just a little delayed for more updates. Decided that it was best to have the fitting for the turbo return welded to the oil pan instead, so that took some back-tracking. Had to remove quite a bit in order to get the pan out and have it welded. But that's all being put back together this weekend.  |

Little update....not a lot left.
Turns out the fuel lines I bought aren't PTFE lines, so we ordered new ones to replace with. Those should be here next week.
This weekend the steering rack, shifter cable, and a couple other little odds and ends things will be put back on. Other than that, all that's really left is all the needed wiring (gauges, pumps, fans, ecu, injectors, etc.).
Very excited to be this close.

Had to order new brake bleeder screws for the front.
Also ordered more fuel line. I had enough for everything except the return line.
We still need to add a piece of aluminum to the cold side and tap/mount the intake temp sensor. The piece of aluminum is on the way.
We're also changing the trans cooler lines to hard lines, so that we can route them differently. The only problem I'm having is finding the fitting I need. I need two 90 degree 3/8" to -6AN female fittings, and I can't seem to find any.
Other than the fuel return line and trans cooler lines, all that's left is bleeding the front brakes, adding the intake temp sensor, and wiring.
