Definitely not as easy as the Camaro Damon! Most everything bolts right on the Camaro. This one is kicking my rear with custom fabrication. Still fun, just more work and different fun.

I worked on getting the underneath of the car back into the shape that is was originally in before one of the 2 owners before decided it would be a great idea to paint the whole underneath of the car matte black including the rear end and frame that was at one time nicely powdercoated.....needless to say I'm getting there with that project....

My Detroit Locker came in for the Rear End 2 days ago and my Strange Axles also came in today. Both very very nice pieces of equipment. I'm impressed. The Third member is was off to the speed shop yesterday for proper shimming and backlash (god knows that I can't do that). So hopefully this thing will be back together tomorrow sometime with a pretty sweet rear end setup.

Drove my 1975 Camaro to work today and let my boss Rodney take a spin it which he came back with it in one piece.

I went to the Aeroquip store and bought 20 ft of -8 braided stainless fuel line, and then pissed myself when he said " that will be $169.60."

Brave soul! In 37 yrs. nobody but me has driven my Camaro. Even the body shop had to push it around, as I took the battery with me when I dropped it off for paint!

I don't blame you. Throttle jockies are everywhere. My cousin took his pickup in for something, I can't remember right off hand. But when he got it back it had a bent rim. This was at the biggest Chevy dealer in town. The dealer told him he was SOL because there not stock wheels and he can't prove they were'nt bent previously.

Yeah, I know the owner would try to watch out for it, but considering how excited his employees were when I drove it in I wasn't going to tempt fate.

If I was going to have mine painted, it would most certainly go without the fuel pump.

Prepped, Primed, Sanded, and Painted the Rear End in my Car....then put in a set of brand new set of custom Strange Axles and a "N" Code Third Member with a Detroit Locker and 4.88's gears....then gave her a long overdue wash and polish....12 hours worth of work and now I'm headed to my real job but it was totally worth it..
