Sweet. Though I am disappointed you're not pointing to CMC.
But I bet if you brought the car to MidOhio in September, the Texas compound could have it fixed up in a day or so! This post has been edited by bsim: May 28 2007, 05:04 AM |

Third gens are cool. My first car was a third gen Camaro. Now that they are almost emissions exempt in my state, it'd be great to get one and have the freedom to do whatever with the motor legally.

QUOTE (trackbird @ May 26 2007, 05:40 AM)  QUOTE (Jon A @ May 26 2007, 06:36 AM) What intake manifold is that? Holley Stealth Ram. It's basically an EFI tunnel ram setup. I guess Holley is selling it as a Weiand piece too, but it's this one: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/serv..._10002_88790_-1 If you go to the B 100, you should talk to my nav Ellis about his custom work on those intakes. He's fabbed up two of them now & they seem to make some serious power. They even look purdy (after I polish them). |

Like, when are we going to get our thirdgens together and thrash them?
NFME is dead for '07 so I'm done for, and in need for some driving. Preferrably June 27th through 29th. |

We spent this afternoon trying to fine tune mine, it's getting closer. |

Well, last night was productive. I was inspired by our stripping of the 24 Hours of Lemons project car on Sunday night and I removed a large portion of the interior of the Camaro last night. The only things in the car right now are the front seats, the carpet and the door panels (which I've just not pulled off yet). Everything is out of the rear, I just have to unbolt the bottoms of the seatbelts and remove them and pull the speakers and speaker wiring to complete the rear section.
I guess I should take a few pics and post them as progress is made. |

Progress:
The rear portion of the interior is now gone, the rest will be coming soon.

The Blaine Fabrication rear spoiler is on the car and we now have rear deck pins to hold the hatch shut.
Picture 58 is where I laid out some (almost straight) lines on the hatch to line up the spoiler. Picture 60 shows that I laid out the mounting location, then called Alan and then moved it. That explains all off the bolt holes that I have marked out. Oops. Picture 61 shows that you should use a straight edge to make sure you don't have the spoiler bent, tweeked or otherwise twisted before you mark and drill the holes. Remove the hatch latch plate and the electric hatch mechanisim, center punch your holes and start drilling (once you've checked and re-checked and are sure that everything is lined up). Picture 108 shows that the 3rd gen hatch should use 4 long bolts on the hatch (two on each end), but, if you drill through the bottom skin with a #3 Unibit, you can stick a deep well socket in there and use the short bolts. So, that's what I did. Picture 109 shows the mounting plate and hardware after it's bolted into place. Picture 110 shows the spoiler once it's been bolted down. Picture 111 shows where I mounted the rear hatch pins. Picture 112 is the bottom of the hatch where the pins are mounted. Picture 114 shows where the pins are in relation to the spoiler. Picture 119 shows the hatch pins installed and complete. All of which explains why there is still interior stuff in this car right now. I've been busy doing other things.

Looks good. I knew you said something about replacing the hood. If you need a replacement, let me know. There's one standing in my barn.
