do you have any pics the the wiring harness under the dash?

camaro41701 · 07-16-2008, 01:44 AM

**lolife99** · 09-21-2008, 08:19 PM

Very NICE ride. Is this your truck or a customer's truck? I see you are running the new Billet Specialties Apex-G wheels. I like your "attention to detail" throughout the truck.

68 short step · 09-21-2008, 08:21 PM

nice ride

camaro41701 · 09-21-2008, 09:30 PM

Thanks guys.Truck belongs to us.Started out to be a low budget shop truck.Things kinda got out of hand for what we intended.Still thinking about a spray in bedliner and some tie downs in the floor corners.

northern 85 · 09-21-2008, 09:37 PM

Nice! do you sell the camaros or restore for customers?

pcorriveau951 · 09-21-2008, 09:42 PM

Nice Truck!!!! how do you like that fatmat? does it cut down the noise good?

camaro41701 · 09-21-2008, 10:10 PM

Most of the camaro are ours.A couple are customers.
The Fat Mat works good unless you have a header close to the firewall.I have one tube that is about an inch away from the firewall and the mat was melting.I got up this morning pulled the header and wrapped it with header wrap.Double wrapped it where it was close to the firewall.It still was getting to hot.Ordering some center dumps in the morning.

72BlckButy · 09-23-2008, 08:24 AM

That shop truck turned out great! Nice work!

Any more shots of how you ran the wiring to make it a little more clean?

camaro41701 · 09-23-2008, 10:50 AM

All of the wiring was ran through the lower firewall,then around the lip above the tranny to the starte and msd.The wires for the headlights were ran through the frame to radiator support and across it on the bottom to the other side.
I will try to get pics.

**steelhorse** · 09-23-2008, 12:11 PM

Very nice truck.Is that the factory seat?

camaro41701 · 09-23-2008, 01:57 PM

Factory seat.Just showed her how I wanted it stitched.

gonline71 · 09-23-2008, 03:07 PM

Beautiful job! Where is that billet dash from and was it fairly easy to install the after market gauges?

**steelhorse** · 09-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Where is the radio?

camaro41701 · 09-23-2008, 07:06 PM

The gauge cluster is NO-LIMIT.I did'nt have problem with install.Little trimmin around the top because you have to change the location of the headlight and wiper switch.
Radio,let's see.I have a supertuner3 350-290 HP,with 2 1/2 inch flowmaster woofers.LOL
