The bumper makes front of the car look a lot cleaner. The new pix are of my seat belt install. this has come a long way since this time last year, when I received the Ls3.

Why do my pix get turned SIDEWAYS when I post them ? Pix of the start of frenching head lights--- had to trim the outer ring off h/l bucket and mount from the inside of the fender--- weld H/L bezel to ft of fender, gives the f/t of the car a finished look.

Excellent work! I just bought a 52' Styleline 2dr sedan last month and I'm loving the work you're doing. I was curious about the camaro seats and installing seat belts, the way you're doing it looks great.

Latest project was to fab drink holders for rear seats, got the speaker boxes covered ready to be fiberglassed. The weather in Montana has finely improved--- a little sun makes a lot of diff in your attitude. The next project is a electric trunk closer --- any pix or sugestions would be nice.

QA1 tube A arms


Vintage Air mini II


Head light rings tacked in place


Cad trunk latch





A/C dryer installed


All a/c and heater lines will be run in the fender well out of sight.



Trying to keep all lines clear of cold air intake
Started on running lines for the A/C and heater--- the a/c lines are EZ clip lines from Vintage Air these are smaller than the standard a/c lines and can be bent in a smaller radius fittings are smaller-- makes for a cleaner install.

It's coming along nicely! What kind of sound system are you putting in this thing? It seems most people older than their 20's don't put as much effort in a stereo as you have. I'm like you though, my '33 has 10 speakers, 4 mids, 4 tweeters and 2 subs, and it has 2 amps to run it all, but I just figure I never really grew up! LOL!

I have 4ea 6.5 JL Audio C3 650 and a Alpine PDX-V9 amp, haven't been able to decide on what Pioneer double din head to buy? Lots of choices out there. Still playing with the routing of a/c and heater hoses-- little by little it moves ahead.


New A-arms will give me the room i'll need for heater hoses


Clips to support heater hoses


Speakers fit in nice-- I was rather suprised how easy they are to fab.

One of the a/c lines passes close to the tweeter



will end up looking something like this
Started to fab a cover for the a/c and heater hoses that are in the wheel well and need to be protected.
