Thanks, became a pro after doing my old Pontiac. lol The Camaros dont have nearly as many point for adjustments as my 72 does.

 

Looks Awesome Mike.. Your hood lines up better than mine.. And mine is Original..lol.. I will be fixing that after the new motor gets in

 

car looks good mike. Now I gotta get on my neighbor about painting my car!! and I figured I'm gonna wait for the tax return check and go all out with the motor set up and use the $$ I got from the heads to shut Dorothy up hahaha

 

Thanks guys!!!

Awhile back in this thread I picked up a Hooker complete exhaust system to go with my Hooker LT headers. Finally got around to installing it tonight, kind of, still need to connect the y pipe to the headers bc I dont have a flange coming off the LTs. But anyways, the exhaust tips look NICE on the car...

 

Looks good

 

Also throwing it out there if anyone has a LS1 SS radiator support laying around. I have a "trimmed" Z28 LS1 radiator base that I used when I had the LT1 front clip on. If you have the Glasstek cowl hood, you just need this, a SLP lid and bellow for the conversion. I will trade for the raised SS radiator support so my SS hood is functional.

 

WEll, well well look at you, that car is bling bling like a sons a biatch now aint it!!!! lol

 

It will bling bling when I get the stainless CAMARO inserts for the taillight panel.

 

Lookin good, you made lots of progress since I last checked.

I don't care how she looks on the outside, as long as its 23* and reverse cooled on the inside .

 

Little bit of progress despite the cold rainy weather moving in. The grill (which I may smooth and paint black) and turn signal lenses are installed. Just finishing up putting the dash back together after re-installing the HVAC system and should be driveable again, too bad the season is almost done though.

Grill and turn signals in...



Engine bay after heat, a/c, power steering is added back in. Took a Edelbrock STB in on trade awhile back so I added that as well to the engine bay. I still have a couple bugs to work out. Found out the bleeder valve was leaking coolant (hence the bolt in the line as a temp fix) and I need to install the overflow tank as well. Although Im going to paint that black first.

 

Looking more like a stock car everyday MIke

 

Probably the best sounding catfish ever.

 

I just picked up a radiator support, lid, MAF, and what looks to be a stock accordian style ls1 TB-to-MAF bellow (isn't that what it's called?) from Ebay to use on a 95 Z28. I think it's probably just a normal Z28 one, but how would I tell? It looks to be raised about an inch. I didn't measure it....just eyeballed.

Thats what I have on now. Im looking for the SS/WS6 one thats raised up and inch or so more than the stock one for functional Ram Air.

 

If its like .5 an inch to an inch raised its the non SS/WS6 one. The SS/WS6 base is rased up more

 

Not sure if you found an SS radiator support yet, but check out user name "Beefy" 's for sale thread "TSP MS4 Camshaft, Covercraft"....


Looks like a great deal on one in there.

 

Just an update...Also its been just a hair over two years since I started this thread...

2 years ago...



After more money than I expected but still within reason and a change of plans for the build (was going to be a full out race car now a quick street car) I think its alot better. LS1 front clip, SS hood/spoiler/wheels, LS1 dash and center console and still an LT1 engine



Cant wait to see what this year will bring for the car. Although this will be my wife's summer daily driver, she said I can play with it as long as she can drive it without any issues. I have a couple ideas in my mind so we will see what happens!

As far as future plans, right now its parked for the winter with junk wheels on it since I will be redoing the silver 10 spoke SS wheels to look like the 35 Anniversary Edition wheels. I still need to finish the exhaust and install the CD player and speakers back in as well.

 

Nice work. Did you see the previous reply from me about the LS1/ram air radiator support for sale? I'm not sure if it's still available, but knew you were looking at one time.

Also, will it fit into the new Street Stock class??

 

Yeah, someone told me there is no difference between the z28 and SS radiator support, only the ws6s had the raised ones.

As far as the Street Stock, I guess so, not sure the official rules, but the engines never been apart yet other than the valve covers. I have some 1.6 Comp Cam rocker arms Ive been meaning to install one day.
