No real updates. Just been driving it and having fun. I got the door panels back on and most of the little stuff wrapped up. I upgraded the headlight wiring to include a couple relays and have a LED 3rd brake light to install.
Really all I have left is to get the AC working in the Spring and I have an old cruise control to hook up.
I bought a cheap Pyle 10" Bass Tube to put in the trunk. They get mixed reviews so will see if it is any good. Ended up being 60.00 w/tax from Advance Auto Parts so if it sounds decent it is worth it.
Upcoming upgrades include IROC steering box and a factory ratcheting shifter if I can find one cheap.

Well I ended up returning the Pyle Bass tube....JUNK!! I did find a used Basslink on CL though for 30.00....score! Going to try to get it installed today. Also I made the decision I am going to give Autocross a shot in April. The local SCCA has events about 30 min from me and I am going to give it a try. My son is 12 and he is VERY excited about getting to ride with me. I am sure that will result in more future upgrades to the suspension.

Got the Basslink installed. This thing thumps pretty good for its size. Also picked up a s-10 space saver spare at Pick n Pull for 10.00. Test fit it and it fits perfect and keeps the front end off the ground. The size is 155 90 16 if anyone is looking for a good size spare.

Went to pick n pull the other day and picked up a spare tire from an S-10 155/90 16 and it works great. I bolted it up on the front end and drove around and no rubbing at all. Fits in the trunk where the old one was no problem.
Also got my numbers made for April. I just grabbed some magnetic vent covers from Home Depot and had some black vinyl laying around that I covered them in. I printed the numbers on my computer and cut them out of Aluminum tape I had laying round also. Not prefect but only cost 5.00. CAM is the new SCCA class (Classic American Muscle)

A little update. Too cold to work on the Camaro so started looking for some upgrades. Found a good deal on some Alston G-Braces on Ebay. Brand new for 137.00 shipped!! Also ordered an IROC steering box from Advance Auto Parts. They had a 50.00 off 125.00 online coupon so I got it for 70.00 plus tax and free shipping. I really wasn't planning on doing much to the car this Spring/Summer except getting the air and cruise working, but.....
Also have some scrap 1.25 1/8 wall tubing from some junk I picked up that I am going to make some subframe connectors and wonder bar. Plan on getting solid body/subframe bushings also.
