Nice!

Spblack · 10-07-2014, 09:58 AM

installed front accuair sensors on Camaro clip. Tried many different ways but this was the only way with the 1 1/4 sway bar up front.

Spblack · 10-07-2014, 10:01 AM

Put the cab on to check for clearance. The dirty dingo mounts allowed me to move the motor forward enough to clear firewall.

Very awesome build sofar. I have a 79 camaro sub frame and shock waves too. Just need to get it welded on. I was wondering how much would your friend charge for the rear notch parts?

I ll ask him. I think he still has the program saved for the CNC cuts. are you running sensors for your air ride? if so, you have to run the front sensors like I have them. its the only way with a sway bar.

Tanman · 10-07-2014, 11:04 AM

I will hopefully run the sensors.Thanks for the tip.I will definitely be using your thread as a guide to do mine.

Spblack · 11-23-2014, 10:00 PM

its been awhile since I posted on here. Painted Firewall, finished brake lines, installed eastwood insulation, found a sweet spot to mount my ECM. I am off for the next week so I hope to knock out as much as possible.

Spblack · 11-23-2014, 10:06 PM

ECM hiding behind dash

pbeguy · 11-24-2014, 12:47 AM
