cdub42 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 if u try to attack it as one big project it will overwhelm you. break it down to smaller goals. fuel system, ignition system, short block, long block, coolant system, windows, seats, doors... so on and so forth. thats how i break down the really big projects i get handed in my line of work 1 Quote Link to comment

oldschool80sguy Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 The modern camaro?? Old and new, it's a retake on a 60's/70's original color, my exact mix is based on stock 2012 Camaro. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Cool, that's what I thought :) Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 you seem to have most of your systems sorted, if it were me id bolt on suspension first so it rolls(if thats not already done) then move onto the other systems you have done, then finish with the list of things still to do 2 Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 agreed, that could work. The car is already rolling on coil overs all four corners, no steering or half shafts, no drivetrain or interior. This is most likely the way I will go, and I will check systems off on the board as I go so I don't drunkinly miss something you seem to have most of your systems sorted, if it were me id bolt on suspension first so it rolls(if thats not already done) then move onto the other systems you have done, then finish with the list of things still to do Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 BRAKES FIRST! Your paint and body work look too good to have to redo a fender because it rolled into something when you were pushing the car. 1 Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 ^^^ Yeah what he said. Love that color also. That air dam looks to be a little too low. Might scrape. :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Oh one more thing. Buy a bunch of 3" blue masking tape to use when bolting everything back up. It would be a shame to scratch that bad ass paint. Quote Link to comment

Your paint and body work look too good to have to redo a fender because it rolled into something when you were pushing the car. Valid point, I actually didn't know line wise which is going to be the bigger PITA, the fuel or Brake Lines? Want routing to be neat and out of the way. Prolly run 18" of braided line up from each corner, to the divertor and then to the two individual cylinders. Quote Link to comment
