Recall my last
shot of the underhood wiring process... well, the engine bay is all
wired up, except for the air conditioning compressor wires that are tied
up by the master cylinder. (Not pictured, all the lights in the front
clip are also wired.)

|
Here is a close up of the
fuse box. Every section of wires is loomed. I routed the engine harness
underneath the brake booster, instead of running over top. Also, I ran
the front clip wiring inside the driver's fender to help hide those wires
as well.

On the engine, I ran the loom
along the passenger side of the engine, to get the electric choke, temperature
sensor, and alternator. The loom remaining is not finished - running to
the A/C compressor.

I ended up changing my rear
disc setup after I spend all the time maching up the 01 Camaro calipers.
The 12" rotors where too large to accommodate my 15" Cragar
SS wheels, so I went with the 93-97 rear Camaro disc that I should have
gone with in the first place. These brakes bolted right up to the Chevelle
axle with no need for fabrication.

After the brakes were installed,
I took my time and bent the rear hard lines, which turned out great! I'm
axious to bleed the system and try them out!

|
I managed to dig out all of
my original plastic from the cab. Everything
in the cab was originally tan. I picked up a kit from the eastwood
co to dye the plastics "warm grey"
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
All of the plastics were in
really nice shape - no random holes, just holes for stuff that should
be there! I washed the plastics and then sanded them down.

|
These shots were taken after
the third and final coat. All in all the dye (made by SEM) went on well.
I followed the instructions specifically and did not have any issues with
it sticking.
|

|
One issue I wanted to ensure
of was that all sides, and edges were thoroughly covered... I had to keep
turning each piece between coats to ensure that I covered every angle.

|
The color is fairly light,
but not a saturated and white as this picture came out! The dye even went
well on the four metal pieces that retain the headliner.
