83 camaro progress, updated feb 9th

here are some pics i took this morning, car is coming along nicely,

decided to change the motor mounts over, so i figured i may as well drop the whole K member. removed knuckles and all the suspension components,
im going to get some energy suspension control arm bushins, and also i want tp ick up some tie rod sleeve adjusters from hotchkis. they take place of the stock ones that always freeze up and are a pain in the ass to adjust.








items that need to be installed



engine builder installed the new oil pan





installed my new steering wheel as well

sorry about the picture, the blue in the horn button is not that color

Very nice, except the blue horn button ruined it for me. Looks like you're gonna have a great car when you're done.

Ahhh....I thought that might be the case .

You used flash on that pic, right? That's probably why it looks like a lighter shade of blue .

Ahhh...yeah, that pitch black coupled with the flash will do that, then....

Good luck with all of that work!
