I need to stay on top of this and when this is done if you ever decide to take a run out west here to the rock store and the snake on mullholland hwy, I want to be there!

 

After literally 10 hours of work the A/C control panel is ready to install. This should look pretty much factory.

 

Pure artwork!!

 

I always thought GM was missing the boat by not offering a LS version of this from the factory. After following this thread the reasons why they didn't are quite obvious.

The work you have put in to this project is nothing short of amazing.

 

just saw the semi-startup vid..this thing is gona be killer!

 

Thanks. The original idea was to put a bone stock, medium mileage Camaro V8 in it. That has morphed into a fully built Ls1 with everything new plus a huge Comp cam and roller lifters, Manton push rods, Yella Terra roller rockers PRC heads with 2.065" valves, a FAST 102 intake manifold and a 102mm Nick Williams throttle body. Should be in the 520ish HP range. This thing is gonna be fun!!

Sounds like it....and probably a little scary!

 

I once had a Vega Panel Express w/ 500+HP 350, BW-T10 HD220 4 speed, narrowed Camaro 456 rearend, boxed frame, ladder bars and a MG vertical gate shifter...your's will probably be a some quicker but the fun factor should be close. Wheelieing away from a traffic gets some really strange looks from the people in the next lane.

 

The rear axle is out of the car again and some final brackets/tabs are being installed. Here is a shot of the e-brake cable brackets. Dirt simple but no reason to make them more complicated. As you may recall, these Camaro brakes are swapped side for side to get the lever to pull forward. So you are looking at a left rear brake mounted on the right side.

 

It all in the details!!
