fall in GA

 

Wow. This is weird...but I just stumbled across your thread on fixing a broken dash on LS1Tech only to stumble onto your project thread here the next day. Looking nice.

 

Thanks man, yeah the dash pad thread has made it to almost all the forums....lol

 

Saw your dash thread, turned out looking great. The only thing I would change is not using cardboard on the back side patch. When I half-moon cracked the dash on my old 96, I patched the back side using epoxy and fiberglass cloth. The epoxy will soak through the glass, bonding it all as one. I didn't wrap mine, but after I fixed the crack, only I knew it was there. I like your vinyl wrap look better, takes away from the plastic look, which these cars have plenty of.

 

Thanks man, I plan on redoing it later on with the 1/8 foam padding under the vinyl and I'm sure it's going to break again, so more than likely ill do the glass this time.

 

Love the car, it looks amazing! One day, I too will get to tear into my engine (when I'm not in college...)

 

Well finally got some bolts to fit the back side of the compressor, man that vibration was driving me nuts.

also found out i had some parking/turn signals lights out while i was down there, so i went ahead and replaced them all, on the front.
also did the blinker mod since i was in there and its free if you have a few wire connectors.


heres the mod for those that dont know what it is. Did the blinker mod




some really old pics i found, man has she changed a lot.

 

True duals done, sounds pretty good, expect some odd popping noise form one of the mufflers. They said it my go away after they burn in.
Also I plan on ditching the tips, they don't look right now that there ran on the frame rails and the rails aren't centered with the bumper.

 

I'm a little confused...in one picture it looks like the two pipes go to a single pipe over the axle, but the last picture clearly shows the pipe routing under the axle...

 

That's an optical delusion. The one pipe with the weld is an up and over the rearend for the passenger side. But look closely, the pipe that's to the left and curves below is still open and unfinished. The drivers side tail pipe isn't connected to it yet.
