My 80 Z Clone (Pic Heavy)

I'm not sure why you are not able to view the pictures. They are showing up fine on my end. I did the LS1 rear brake conversion a couple of years ago, but never did anything about the parking brakes. Got all the stuff to do the parking brakes and then decided I wanted to try the hand brake set up as well. I'm still not sure if it is going to work or if I'll even like it. I was out in my garage working on this stuff Saturday, lol. I'm right outside of town north on Rt. 26. I'm usually around.

We always take 2 down to Sterling.

2nd gens are well represented in that area for sure. I visited with a guy that's just 2 blocks away from my mom that has a sweet red '72 with an LS motor and trans. I met up with another guy from Morrison that bought a few parts from me that has quite a few 2nd gens. Both I believe are members here on Nasty.

That's cool. I do not know who either of those people are. I actually don't see many second gens around here. Must be kept in the garages all the time like mine, lol.

I wasn't able to see the pics because I was doing it at my work PC. Here at home I'm able to view them. Very nice car!

Thank you!

No new update. Been busy during the holidays and still trying to decide if I like how this parking handle set up will look. What do you guys think? Does it look good or does it look cheesy? I wasn't too fond of cutting into the lid, but I don't see any way around it. The pictures are on the previous page.

Finally made up some brackets and got the Billet grilles installed yesterday. Just need to get it powder coated in flat black now.

Also picked up these guys.

No new pictures yet, but have been pretty busy working on the car and buying stuff for it. I bought a Pioneer X9600 bluetooth stereo, Polk Audio speakers, radio power off delay module, dome light fader timer relay, built up the harnesses and got the relays for the headlight relay upgrade. Got the kick panels and foot parking brake all out of the car and the old stereo out as well. I'm still deciding on this parking brake set up, but getting closer to pulling the trigger on that. Hoping to get some update pictures taken. Nothing really to see yet, but a torn apart dash.

Took a few quick pics tonight. Just need to sand and paint the kick panels and get everything wired in.
