67 Chevelle - LS7, T56 & Schwartz Chassis

Very nice. I have a question about the lights.
You said you now have 4 hi and 4 lo beams. Do they have two high and low per bulb? I may look into swapping my 66 lights, but I would do all 4 bulbs. Would I end up with 8 hi and 8 lo beams? May be interesting.
Thanks for the ideas and great build. I can't wait to get mine back from alignment so I can get it on the road a little. May even steal your color. I was thinking Maximum Steel 2014 Jeep color but not really sure. Your outside pic looks very nice and dark, almost a black chrome, but inside pics look much lighter. Which is more accurate to how it "really" looks?

The color is difficult to explain, in painter terms it has good flop, it flops between lighter gray to almost black depending on angle and lighting. Swing by any BMW dealership and look at a car in Mineral Grey Metallic and you'll get a better idea of the color. I chose the BMW variant of the color because of the much finer metallic and it never has a purple or pink hue like the Ford, Dodge and others that are similar. Mine is a straight PPG mix of the 2013 BMW Mineral Grey Metallic.

Lots of progress in the last few weeks. After some heavy modification for the rear sway bar mounts, the Ricks tank with CTS-V pumps is in:
Switched over to a hand operated emergency brake and everything is hooked up and working:
Got a nice mount for the Vintage Air controls fabricated:
Fire suppression bottle mounted and nozzles placed:

The cables had to be routed over the trans tunnel because there wasn't enough room under the tunnel. Since I won't have a back seat, it was no issue going over the tunnel because I'll just continue the console all the way back.

Sorry, I missed the question originally, yes it is a Lokar and it is rock solid with the base we built. The Willwood adapters didn't work quite as advertised, but it's a really nice solid setup.

The power steering reservoir is from Detroit Speed, P/N: 090601http://detroitspeed.com/Steering/090...reservoir.html
The Cold Air Intake is from Spectre Performance, PN 901108

Fire Suppression Activation Button mounted in the Ashtray:
I got all of the spots on the chassis touched up from exhaust fabrication and frame notching, I got the shock tower brace painted and the remote reservoirs for the coilovers mounted:
I got the fuel vent and differential vent installed but need some more AN fittings to get them plumbed:
My daughter was less than impressed with having to ride up the lift in the trunk for the process:

I ended up having to trim that piece a fair amount to make it work and cut a relief for the outer fender lip, I also ended up having to weld tabs on the edge under the radiator because my radiator was wider and deeper than stock. Then we didn't like how close the intake tube was to the fans, so we ended up cleaning up the pipe and doing away with the rubber elbow. I can't blame Spectre though because my radiator and chassis are non-stock as well as have replacement fenders. It probably would have been cheaper and faster to just fabricate it from scratch,

the 3 inch exhaust is in with borla xr1 mufflers. We ended up deleting the inner portion of one of the cross members to make for a cleaner exhaust. There's roll bar almost directly above this location so i don't think we've lost any structural rigidity over the standard schwartz chassis:
the aerocatch hood pins are in and the air funnels replacing the inner headlights are all buttoned up:
a detailed shot of the brackets underneath for the hood pins, below this bracket is the remote oil filter and air cooler:
the drysump tank is in:
the oil cooler and remote oil filter:
remote power steering reservoir:
plates in the trunk to get the remote reservoirs thru the trunk floor:
a shot of the driver's side showing the exhaust:
