I've been trying to do something every day or else it'll never get done. the power brakes, master cylinder and porp valves is like a maze of lines.
i took a tone a pictures so I didn't screw it up. ordered all new front lines. cleaned and coated almost everything. I had issues with only one line
that wasn't the right length so I used my original line.
I got the tail panel and trunk finished but the wing isn't on yet
got the Trans in with my homemade support bracket. got the rockers adjusted and got the engine in. more to come.

there you go a guy that pays attention to detail ,i like how you have eveything covered up to protect things the way they should be ,i think about things like that when work on the engine like fender protectors ,i see some guys dont even think about that while installing an engine ,very thorough job ,got to love it

Thanks,
why put grungy looking parts back on, right. it's easier to do it while it's apart. and it makes it worth more in the end. any little thing can scratch up the paint so I like to be extra careful.

this is the gen 1 engine in my 95 was a challenge next for me besides a stock ls1 car ,is BB in a 2 gen 77 or later on up to 92 ,plenty of space for them too ,i am more of modified guy ,but see the many reason for guys wanting to keep them stock is my reason for wanting a 2002 ss ,plus staying stock saves alot of mach up work head aches an so on

WOW ! nice. I can understand how it was a challenger to put that in there. my wife had an '94 T/A and that was always a pleasure to work on, NOT! I remember replacing the spark plugs was a PITA, let alone the whole tune up. nice job.

thanks still a work in progress though an some help from friends it is easyer to work on then the lt1 for the most part lots of wires gone about 100lbs lighter too with the 350 turbo ,thats the thing about the newer cars there not realy made for different engines ,there makeing it harder to do swaps more then ever ,so takeing stock car an puting the hard work into that is less work then modifying everything ,like say headers are a good upgrade even a super charger ,but there are limits guys want to defy all the time ,like a 454 in a bace car is a challenge far past even mine,but i seen a few pro stock cars ,done by the pros right

well it's been a while since I posted anyhting. I've been busy getting everything finalized on the Z now. I've been working on the interior and under the hood. Hopefully I'll be starting it up this weekend.
