Re: Hey BlackOutSteve!

Hey BlackoutSteve, I just checked out the vid of the air raid siren you have in your by-line.
I lived in Florida during the Cuban missle crissis and Bay of Pigs and was not even aware of these things.
Totally Cool and good job starting the V-8 up after so many years.

Very cool ....

;D

You all have gotta check out this bad boy ...

Re: Hey BlackOutSteve!

Hey, Steve, I've always wondered if your Camaro was always right hand drive or did you have to convert it? If you did convert, how?

[KeithTurk]

Re: Hey BlackOutSteve!

Steve's Camaro is a left hand drive that he converted poorly the first time and PERFECTLY this time... it's a truly stunning bit of tin work... he's got some killer pictures of the heater box somewhere that we can beg him to break out...

it's worth the effort of pestering him...

Not quite right, but close. ;)
It was converted very poorly before I bought the car (1992), but I did make some effort to rectify to evil handling witch about 10 years ago that worked out quite well, although it was still an ugly conversion..
This resto is all starting on a clean slate. Firewall, dash, subframe, wiring, it's all correct now, although I'm still doing the wiring..

No, unless they borrowed a Youtube link.

Wow, glad to hear you had a great time Charlie. The weather would have been great this time of year too, yeah?

There are way too many photos to try and post.. I've been a long time at this too.
But here's some of what I've done.

The subframe (bought off Squrrel (Jforb)) was put on a jig that I made, and converted to function and look as OE as possible. -as if GM made it as RHD.


I also made a rotisserie and pulled the car completely apart.


Refabbed the dash from a doner..


..and refabbed the firewall..


Made the heater box that Keith has mentioned. That was fun! :D


Now I'm wiring..


So, it's coming along, but taking too damn long. I work 6 days a week, and almost everything that goes on the car needs to be modifed or fabbed. Overall it's fun., but sometimes it's a pain in the butt being a fussy wanker!

Re: Hey BlackOutSteve!

Wow, very nice work BlackoutSteve.

Oh, and being a "fussy wanker" is the only way to get it done right. No, "She'll be right, mate" on that beautiful car !!
