Check out this page out of the Keep It Clean Wiring catalog, or go to their home page and download the catalog. They have lots of customizable LEDs for dashboards, push-button start kits, and a lot of other cool stuff.
It looks like your floors are right on the edge. My guess is that they will reveal many more holes after media blasting. Not what you wanted to hear, I know, but we see it all the time.
The good thing is that floor pans are pretty cheap for that car, and not a terrible job when it's all apart like that.
Looking forward to seeing what you do in the dash!
Cool seats, too... what color is this one going to be?
The driver side frame rail on our '68 Camaro had a big crack in the arch of the rail. Instead of trying to repair the rail in the car, we removed the old one and replaced with it an OER frame rail from Classic Industries. In this video, we show you the removal process, fitting the new piece, protecting the mating surfaces, and welding it in with our HTP MIG 200 welder.
The cowl boxes on our 68 Camaro were very rusty, so we decided to replace both using OER cowl box panels from Classic Industries. In this video, we show you the steps to removing the old boxes, sealing the new pieces with 3M Seam Sealer, and welding in the new ones using an HTP Hole Punch tool and MIG 200 welder.
Some people consider the 1970 Chevelle the pinnacle muscle car. Especially when equipped with an LS6 454 and a 4-speed. Randy Fricke brought out that exact car to the 2011 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.
While it is possible, I'd recommend against it for a couple reasons.
First, it would be about 10x more expensive than hard steel lines to do.
Second, brake hoses are very special items... you'll notice that the stainless braided brake hoses that run from calipers to frames are short, and they have to have some sort of certification tag on them. The fact that no company that I am aware of makes a full hose kit for a car tells me it's not certified or safe. I think one of the caveats is that the hoses have to be crimped ends, done in a facility that meets a federal spec.
Is it that you don't want to bend your own hard lines?
We also want to point out that the original engine and transmission were LONG gone on this car. We're also taking a conservative approach to the build, so that some day, it could be returned to stock should the owner wish to do so.
Introducing the "CoyoTBird" - a 1955 Ford Thunderbird being built in the V8TV shop! This '55 is being retrofitted with a new 412 HP Ford Racing 5.0 Coyote crate engine, backed by a Richmond 6 speed manual transmission to give this old 'Bird new wings. Follow the build to see the transformation on V8TV!
FAST Electronics recently announced an upgrade to their race-proved XFI Fuel Injection system which adds new functionality to the popular system. Perhaps the most significant advance in the FAST XFI 2.0 system is the addition of self-tuning capabilities. What's even better is that you can send in your existing FAST XFI 1.0 box and have it upgraded to 2.0 at a surprisingly low cost. We spoke with FAST at the International Motorsports Industry Show to learn more.
The original trunk floor was not terrible in our '68 Camaro "Reloaded" project, but it had some surface pitting and rust that we didn't like. The cure was a new OER trunk floor panel from Classic Industries. In this video, we show you the steps to removing the old panel and welding in the new one using an HTP MIG 200 welder.
