Default 99 Nitrous Camaro Build

Build I have been working on for a bit, hopefully have it running this winter. Here are some pictures of the progress of the car.

The car as I purchased it:
Car had a cage, brakes, rear, mini-tub, QA1 springs and shocks



I wound up pulling my rear from the Pewter car and having Mike Duffy do some work to it. Really happy with his work. Also, installed Afco custom valved setup for my front and rear.








There wasn't any interior or wiring in the car, so I wired it to my liking and have finished quite a bit of the interior.


[/QUOTE]


I have spent the majority of the time working on the engine/engine bay arrangement. Uses a few parts from my old combo, but not many.

Motorplate/midplate mockup





Cooling system
Wanting to do something clean and functional here, this is what I came up with.












Had this tank made by chiseled performance, great quality and price. Fuel system is done.






Most everything for the engine is mocked up where I would like it. Still have to run a few lines, mount the coil, alternator, and some sensors.



Decided to ditch the polished/gold combo on the car. Went with the black/double beadlock versions.

Thanks, not sure really. It all depends on how large of jet I want to run in it.

More of a preference thing. You can adjust the shock up or down based on where you want the stroke of the shock to be, so its never bottoming out in either direction. Also, with the coil-over you can adjust rear ride height easily.

Thanks man, I kinda trimmed the cowl to where I can keep some of the plastic that goes over the cowl area. No nitrous plate at the moment, just a spacer. I traded for a taller black one, you can see it a bit better in this picture.
