🔧 BUILD PSJ's 1967 LS Turbo Camaro Build

[Pro Stock John]

Picked up (rebuilt) gear box and new pitman arm from D&R, will be swapping this stuff over this weekend.

 

[Pro Stock John]

Allow myself to introduce myself.

New stock steering setup in the car, a long overdue oil change, and some checking of nut/bolts up front. Drove it today about an hour.

I will do NOTHING else to this car for the rest of the summer except the damned alignment, nut and bolt the back half of the car, change plugs and see if I can lower the car about 1.5-2.0 by just going a lower on the coil over brackets. NOTHING ELSE.

Went to the Norwood Park car show, was great.

Looks like I need to treat myself to some newer modern headlights. #dingy #themAreYellow #crestWhiteStrips

And I quoteth "NOTHING ELSE"

...ads to list....

 

[Pro Stock John]

Hehe I should never say 'nothing else' again. I am just lying to myself. But the headlights are a safety issue for me, my brake lights are super weak too I gotta figure that out. My turn signals stopped working hopefully it's just a connector that worked its way loose.

Do jeep LED's work for headlights? For my mustang jeep work, and I got some cheap LED lights from amazon. I couldn't bring myself to buy JL $800 headlights

 

[Pro Stock John]

There are some cheaper Amazon lights, and some spendier Holley lights. Not sure what I'm doing yet.

Dont cheap out on the headlights, you will regret it. Vision Industries headlights are plug and play and are quality shit.

Digi Tails makes a LED tail for your car as well. They also make quality shit. You have to install the LED panels and wire it up.
Its not difficult at all, I did my Regal in a few hours

I thought you had someone take care of all your wiring stuff?

Running the headlights and the high beams on relays triggered by the factory wiring is a must-do mod when you consider the current load through the factory wiring and age factored in

I just don't like not seeing halogen lamps in vintage cars... just looks wrong as hell to me

I agree… http://www.rallylights.com/hella-7-round-9003-vision-plus-dot-conversion-headlamp-hl70477.html

 

[Pro Stock John]

Yeah I have all new wiring. I'm probably getting the Holley lights.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

You're still probably going to want to use the new factory style wiring to trigger relays.
How much current do the new LED headlights soak up I'm guessing it's at least a little less than an hid?

 

[Pro Stock John]

I have no idea, I don't know anything about lights. lol

Way cheaper than the Holley lights

When I was in MI last week I picked up a set of mid 70's 15x4 Cragar SS skinnies. I don't think I'd race on them but I might cruise on them? Let's see how they clean up.

i bet these things weigh like 55lbs each, please confirm

 

[Pro Stock John]

They are in fact super heavy lol. I would never race on these but I always wanted a set. I'm hoping to score a deal on tires so I can put them on the car and just stare at it.

Stumbled across these that feature LED lighting but retain the old classic look for the Hairy Canary.

I just saw an ad for them on Instagram, they look good.

 

[SleeperLS]

This car is just nasty. Nice job.

Drove the car 90 minutes today mostly in traffic, never skipped a beat. That gets me to around 10 hours of total street driving. Did a long pull on the Kennedy, 14 lbs feels good, feels like a mid 9 second power level.

 

[Pro Stock John]

Got the car aligned by Thalmann's in Northbrook, Justin was great to deal with. Fronts were way off but the rear was already squared up nicely by my friend Eddie V.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Looks damn good.
