So you have the same using the power steering pump? Did you built your own brake system?

Question:- Perhaps this system uses the power steering hydraulic supply to drive the accumulator, when pressing the brake pedal while simultaneously rotating the steering wheel, does the steering will be hard to turn? Or it will be unnoticeable. Thank you

I havent driven mine. Or assembled it for that matter. The pump is a GM type II pump that is modified so the resivior has been removed and I have a remote tank for the fluid. It doesnt have to be that way but it looks better to me. There are many different pumps out there for this. You may want to search it out.

Guys, what do you tell me about soda blasting. I will paint strip the car to remove the bulk of the paint, then I will take the car to soda blasting to continue removing the spray.

Have any one used soda blasting on these cars? Does it harm or warp the sheet metal?

Any opinion on this?

No warp but it can get trapped and cause the paint to peel off. I'm only repeating what I heard on that though.

Yes, I try to remove paint as much possible with the paint remover first. Then I use an orbital sander to remove the left overs. But the under side of the car, and engine bay and frame etc, will be done with sand blasting.

What paint did you use for the sound deadener? I bought the original rubber mat but if there is a better product i will use it.

Today I removed the stock 10 bolt and leaf springs from the camaro (quite heavy). Now it is the time to continue working on the frame.

Does any one knows from where to buy minitubs? Only DSE?

Yes DSE is the only one with stock looking tubs. Otherwise its generic Pro Street tubs. Basically sewer pipe.

Classic industries sell DSE minitub cheaper than DSE itself does.... I do not know why. Just for you to know guys.

From where I can buy solid mounts for the engine?

Solid mounts can be had from summit or Jegs. I have Moroso brand.
