I *finally* have my Camaro back together...

It has been apart since October last year.

New dual disc clutch, new flywheel, new hyd. slave cyl,
new Ideal master clutch cyl., tick ss clutch line, tick fast bleed clutch return line.
New 2 pc. LPE driveshaft, new 1400 HP axles, rebuilt LPE 9.5" rear diff with 3.73 gears.
New Pedders poly diff bushings, new ZL-1 rear swaybar, handmade endlinks with rod ends.
Replaced the tunnel brace with a new Spohn brace.
Swapped the wheel studs with longer Pfadt wheel studs. New open end lug nuts for all wheels.

Powder coated the lower control arms, and cleaned everything underneath....
The rear suspension is beautiful.. a work of art!

I get a 4 wheel alignment and corner balance with scales tomorrow.

I have a test and tune at devens on Sunday the 22nd to get it dialed in for the C5fest...

Was at Portsmouth Chevrolet from 8:30 till 4:00 p.m.

Did an alignment (race car spec's) on their new hunter alignment machine, checked all the fluids, corner balanced car on the scales. Bled the clutch to remove the remaining air. This is the first alignment that I have put on the car to the spec's that I wanted all along. Finally have all the parts in place to get the amount of negative camber I need.

Checked everything underneath to make sure everything is tight and in place.

Borrowed a dealer plate and took it for a blast up the highway.. no unexpected noises.. the vibration I had last year is gone. Everything works perfectly.

Ready for Sunday's Test and tune to get it dialed in for the Camaro fest..!!!
It should be pretty exciting to see how fast I can get to on the skid pad with this setup.

I was able to get to 68 MPH last test session a year ago.. didn't have this much negative camber and newer designed ZL-1 rear sway bar should help improve things...
