Okay, it's been a while since I've done an update.

I have the rear axle back on now and I just need to move over to the four post lift so I can torque the control arms down.

The front suspension is pretty much done also. I had an issue with the lower shock mounts stripping out so I used the clips to fix that.

My wiring is started.

And my master cylinder is mounted but the brakelines are driving me nuts. I bought the right stuff detailing and they are not labeled where they go so it's a puzzle.

As soon as I get these things buttoned down then it's going on the road for the season before I do anything else. I want to enjoy driving it for a while.

Weekends are busy with cruise ins and car show with my dad. The last one we took the 2011 Z07 and the 1934 Ford.

You are making progress. Be sure to torque the control arms with the weight of the car on them and not while it's in the air.

caljon88 05-29-2014 08:35 AM

I had a guy tell me that it needs to be on its own weight. Glad we have a four post lift so I can stand underneath to tighten things down. I would not have ever thought about that. Thanks

o ok i know where camp hill is about 2 hours from me. good to know i have another PA member on here. question for you with that wiring harness. does it come with all the ends to make the connections?

caljon88 05-30-2014 09:54 AM

Yes it does, some you have to crimp but the dash harness is pretty much all done. Very easy to do so far, I am impressed! I love the Pocono area, we vacation up that way sometimes. Jim Thorpe is a little dream town too, good biking, beer, food and shopping.
