smokin5s Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Welp, more toys came in over the weekend as well as the motor is done minus the alternator being bolted back up and the battery being charged. This should be an interesting year! Here's a picture of the Alternator that still needs bolted up. I wanted to post this so that you would have a better idea of what it'll look like on there.. http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/CamAlt.JPG Here is some Shots of the motor http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/CamEngn1.JPG http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/CamEngn2.JPG http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/CamEngn3.JPG http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/CamEngn4.JPG I am still working on some fabbed brakets as well as some covers to make the engine look a little cleaner and to cover up my N2O silinoids up front. Here's a few other things that came in... http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/Hooser3.JPG http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/Hooser1.JPG http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/Moser1.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Of course I couldn't let the Camaro have all the fun. I got a new exhast system for the GP http://www.cofba.org/users/joshmiller/Pics/web/GPBack1.JPG All in all, everything seems to be comming together pretty well. I will post some updated pictures as well as a video of the camaro running as soon as I get the Alt back on and the battery charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 looks good:wtg: but still looks like a pain in the ass to work on graemlins/finger.gif to f-bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Car is lookin nice. +1 on the pain to work on. On the strut tower bar I have a question. I never really understood why people put that single bar across the engine bay. You might notice a slight difference, but imagine the difference if that bar was triangle. As in a bar going across the center with 2 other bars going from each shock tower to the center of the engine bay/firewall. This would make it work better considering your centering the weight. I see you don't really have the room for this, but it's somethin to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you don't really have the room for this, but it's somethin to think about.Ya, it's REALLY a PITA to work on, but in the end I guess it's worth it. The STB is there to stiffen the frame some and not allow as much flex. I don't really see how a triangle would really help that much more if at all. The car isn't really flexing front to back, it's side to side, and that's where the triangle would help (front to back) I could be wrong.... I dunno... Obviously it helps since allot of people have STB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm not saying the STB's don't work (obviously they do), I just think it would help stiffin the chasis if it was done that way. Ahh who cares......Hoosier > * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
