We also got the subframe out outside on the rotisserie before we realized our compressor was acting up and we'll have to call a mobile blaster. We also didn't get much work done on the floors and chassis because our BRAND NEW Hobart 140 welder decided that it didn't feel like feeding wire anymore. Gotta go exchange it tomorrow, but it really ruined my progress on Saturday.


But, besides all the problems, I did manage to get the a-arms powdercoated in a semi-gloss black. I'll run them down to have the Prothane bushings pressed in this week.

 

the powdercoat looks great

 

Thanks, Blade!

The Gear Box sent us this T56 rebuild kit and steel 3-4 shift fork for the T56 we're putting in the car. Jerminator donated a T56 and the rebuild, so major thanks to him! We still need an LS1 4th gear/input shaft, 6th gear, and an LS1 front plate, so if anyone has anything lying around they might be able to help us out with, please let me know!

 

This may be a bit out of line, but I have met some of the guys at Goodmark and wrote an email requesting the donation of some parts for your cause. I don't know if they will donate but I thought I would try!!!

 

i'll be seeing your brother-in-law soon enough, i'm out to iraq in april! nice car!!! wish i knew where to start on a project like that.

 

FlightMech, I appreciate it, man! If I could get a driver's door I'd be set!

Camaro Dreams, thanks for your service and stay safe!

 

Yeah, I don't know if they will contact you or not... I hope they do. You might want to update your list of needed parts though...if it is not up-to-date that is...

 

I'll get on that tomorrow. I've been super busy this week and haven't had a chance to touch the page.

Got some good stuff in this week! I got in the Hotchkis 2" front drop springs I bought off of brownz on the pro-touring board, and the VBP 2" drop leafs I bought off of 68sixspeed on the pro-touring board. Many thanks to them for hooking me up!


Also got in the Covan's dash panel that Queen City Speed donated to the project. Major thanks to them for taking care of us there!


And finally, we got everything we need to get the rear frame and suspension fabricated! But, our brand new Hobart welder crapped out after about 30 minutes of use. Yeah, it is covered under warranty, but I won't have it back till the end of next week. So I'll be able to fab everything up next weekend, but this week all I'll be able to do is mock it all up. At least we can do something, though.

 

Do you have any sort of idea when the LT (your Bro-in-law that is...)is coming home?

 

He'll be home in July.
