'68 Camaro Project "Bodacious" I guess it is time to start my project thread here. I have what started as a plain Jane '68 Camaro. I have mini tubbed it, made my own rear suspension and now getting ready to transplant the LS1 from a '98 Camaro with LS T56. I also transplanted Z06 brakes.

Nice, I like the brake upgrade. Any plans for the block? Heads, cam, etc? Cool pic of your boy by the way, he will enjoy that photo when he gets older. Wished I had some photos of my Dad and I at the BMW touring meets he took me to. They allowed "family runs," and at a 120 mph in a banked curve I was screaming "FASTER DAD"...i was 6. Sorry to get off topic, just cool to see kiddos that remind us of our younger days in the garage lol.

Thanks for the comments. I have 3 boys and they all love to work on cars with me. As for the engine mods. I don't really know what mods are in store. It will be modded, I just don't know what direction yet. I picked up a donor car a few months ago, and getting a LS T56 tonight.
I have been working on my headliner mold. I want a nice one piece headliner so I am planning on molding it in fiberglass and foaming it and covering that with material.
Here is a pic of it before I put it on the rotissery.

It has been awhile since I updated this so...
Update on my Camaro. Finished tank (Made my own), mounted it, plumbed everything. Tonight wire it up, and fire up the engine. Before I had the fuel pump in a 5gal bucket with the gas in it (Yeah very safe....) just to fire it up. Now, I have the fuel system where it should be.
A few more things like buttoning up the brakes, rear gear install and install pan-hard bar. Then I can take the maiden voyage around the block. Sitting on a crate of course.

I have a 68 camaro that I will swap an '08 tbss ls2 into it. The trans is awd but is readily converted to 2wd. I would like to modify the stock e67 harness but cannot find info on doing this. What can I eliminate to get the car up and running? Any pinout info would be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
