I like how your modest about your welds, I to am a welder and your welds are good, great job by the way!

Thanks Barry. Finally got the motor mounts from Oreilley's. Freakin expensive at 57$ a piece. O well at least I know I wont have to replace them very often. Also had to make a trans mount converter bracket to mount the TR6060 to the T56 crossmember. Ill post up some pics next time everything is taken apart for prep and paint. At least I know everything fits now. I had to split the top of the trans tunnel and open it to make room for the taller trans, but other than that everything bolted right up.

Third-Gen · 08-11-2012, 10:40 PM

Subscribing...nice build so far.

2SSRS · 08-19-2012, 09:09 AM

Nice build, but like all your work you do its first rate.

Third-Gen · 08-21-2012, 02:38 AM

Thanks guys. Spread the word! The more business I get the faster I get to work on my own cars

Moar pics and updates Pleaz.

Third-Gen · 10-26-2012, 11:08 PM

Im trying guys. A new job that isnt quite paying the bills, a 5 month old, and a jobless mother have been putting the squeeze on the wallet and my free time. Ill post up some pics soon, Ive been working on getting the trans mounted and hooked up.

b4z · 10-27-2012, 02:27 PM

Sorry to hear the issues you are having. Keep us updated.

GunnyG · 10-27-2012, 02:45 PM

Wow, so far this is awesome! Subscribed!

Third-Gen · 11-15-2012, 01:36 AM

I havent forgotten about you guys! Not much progress yet, but in the next few weeks I should have some updates. GunnyG, Im not sure I know what IECC is.

Third-Gen · 01-30-2013, 12:05 AM

OK guys been taking a break in cars dealing with sick kids and a bunch of crap. Been working my tail off, and decided to splurge. I was going to buy a dash shell for a 5th Gen like in my roll age pics, but I found a complete used pullout from a Vette salvage yard in Mississippi. Can't wait to get this thing in and looking sweet. First 5th Gen dash in a 3rd Gen? I think so. Doesn't hurt having a blown ls3 and a tr6060 either. I'll keep u guys updated. Here's what's coming next week in a big box:

It is that time of year for folks being sick. Looking forward to seeing this install. What kind of hurdles do you expect?

RedVictory · 01-30-2013, 02:53 PM

I can not wait to see this completed

Third-Gen · 01-31-2013, 10:58 AM

ya flu season is no fun, especially with an 9 month old in daycare. I had another dash that I used for mockup at Hess that was out of the ZR1 Camaro, and everything fit pretty well, just had to trim the front edge of the dash to fit the different curve of the 3rd gen. The steering column lines up, but I have to make the finish panels for both ends of the dash, and a new column cover, and who knows what else. The firewall is going to be the hardest part with the air intake for the HVAC, and the lines will have to be moved for the heater core and evaporator. Its gonna be fun! haha. But i think it will be worth it!

b4z · 02-01-2013, 04:53 PM

Glad to see a update on this car. Did you ever look at a GTO dash. I see a,new GTO complete interior in a '60s GTO and it was amazing.

Third-Gen · 02-04-2013, 01:48 AM

nice. well i figured id keep with the camaro theme. it might be weird to put a G8 or GTO dash in my camaro. I just started putting a new 2012 F450 superduty dash in my 86 F350 tow vehicle. But thats a whole other forum haha.
