Man we need pics! I am sure it all looks good but I want to see that dash! Did you use the factory style headliner with the bows and such?

RNation0001

iTrader: (2)

yeah factory head liner, dash is looking pretty decent and im debating trying to wrap the entire dash and the filler in vinyl or suede or something the top of the dash has a few cracks, and the filler panel i made could use something so i dunno what ima do yet, ill get some pics in the next day or so and hopefully in the next week itll be on the streets for a test drive

Coming out VERY cool!! What did you end up using as far as harness and ECU prog?

RNation0001

iTrader: (2)

well originally i had a camaro ecu and custom made harness but now i have switched to a holley hp setup, becuase i want to run a nitrous shot, with the holley ill be able to run a decent shot and run it dry and have the ecu add the fuel, it will also cut off the nitrous if afr goes high or low

The console couldn't have fit any better! It ties in nicely with the dash. How are the seat covers coming along? As soon as I get my car back from the fab shop and then the tuners I will snap some pics of the under carriage for ya.

yeah its all coming together, as far as the seat covers im kinda intimidated to do it but i will eventually lol maybe this winter. as for now im just ready to drive it lol hopefully gonna get the windshield installed this week, any pointers on installing a windshield?

geberhard

I honestly do not recomend installing th windshield yourself. Most glass companies can do teh install for a few bucks (cot me $20 for te mobile service last time), actually a replacement one new installed at home was under $150.

hey tsnow are you coming to lsfest this year?

I installed my front and back glass with the help of my son. No sweat, I just did a dry test fit. Once you have the glass in place (dry) you will want to use a piece of masking tape from the roof down over the glass. Cut the masking tape at the top of the glass and use the tape a reference to center. Pull the glass out, lay down the butyl tape (correct thickness and proper location), add the rubber shims on the bottom, have a friend grab one side of the glass, set in the bottom while someone else checks the center(tape), and slowly lay it back. A little bit of pressure by hand and she is sealed. Add trim and your done. I left mine out in the sun for a few hours and reapplied pressure just to make sure the seal was good. You will be able to see whether or not the glass is sealed by looking at the butyl tape through the glass.

I haven't give the LSFest much thought but I may have to see when and where its going to be. I have always wanted to go!

Do not use the urethane sealer in the tube. Your moldings will not lay against the glass properly. The gap between the glass and moldings will allow air to possibly lift the moldings off. Here is a link fom Oreillys for the butyl tape. 3M calls it ribbon sealer. I cannot remember what thickness you will need. This link is for 5/16" which I think is correct but I will have to check for you. Here is the link:

Any auto parts store will or should have the same product.
