Haven't done much lately. Work/life is in the way right now. I Have started on the front brakes. Am using the adapter brackets to install Camaro 12" rotors and calipers. Gathering parts for the rest of the small, and not so small, things left to do. Gotta pick a color for the exterior paint. I don't want to change the interior color. So I'm thinking a two tone Sandlewood tan (gold) and rootbeer, should go well with the original interior. Bought the intake, and am saving for the MSD ignition. Then it's wheels. I've got ideas, but, I can't decide. If the El Camino would go away it would make the Chevelle closer !!
My SPC UCA's came with the wrong cross shafts, so I had to send them back.. I have the passenger side front suspension completely off the car. I wanted to put everything on with the C6 wheels and take a few pics.. But no!
My alternator relocation kits' bracket for the tensioner wasn't made for my iron block, so it had to be modified, but I haven't gotten a chance to bolt it on yet.
I did get my stock trans crossmember to work with the 4l60E, but I need to "clearance" my trans tunnel a bit more to get the motor as far back as I want it.
It looks like right now I'll get to spend all day Wednesday at the garage getting the motor to set right. I won't be able to set it permanent untill I get the entire front end rebuilt and sitting where I want it. I still need to get front springs. But it looks like everything is going to fit..
Then the body is coming off the frame so I can start bracing the frame. I have a few custom touches in store for it.

A bit short on time as well but doing mostly research on brake lines( make myself), booster & master( ssbc?),emergency brake cables ( just ordered a set of lokar/wilwood emer. brake cables)fuel system( like bzee's setup)cooling setup (be cool ?), ac comp ( ati custom damper & homemade brackets ?)neede to have driveshaft made ( local )power steering lines , oh yeah the harness ( speartech). need to make a crossmember and about a million other things.but still moving foward. JOHN
My main problem is time. Mainly its down to getting power to the wiring harness and getting fuel to the engine. After that edit the computer and fire it up. Then its on to re-assembly and figuring out the little odds and ends like the throttle cable to make it driveable again. Oh and my second biggest problem is money lol.
