Camaro looks like a '67: I had a couple of 69's (never should have sold them.....).

So what's the secret to not having the PlastiDip stick to what you use to dip the items? Seems like that could be tough to have come out without any issues. I've seen the commercials where they dip something like a pair of pliers in but they get to hold onto something that doesn't get dipped.

Looks like they turned out great!!

Why thank you!

On the Camaro... you're close, its a 68! I had it together at one point, maybe 2001? I took it apart for paint and here we are. I had a de-stroked 400 (377) some decent old school 202 heads and a 5 speed out of a mid 90's Camaro. Now I'm planning on a big block stroker 496 and a 700r4... ONE DAY. ;(

I have always wanted to do the Power tour. Maybe when my boys get older.

I don't know about the non-stick part... I'm thinking about maybe some grease or cooking spray on the wire? I would be worried about contaminating the whole can of Plasti Dip though.

Missed the cutouts for the side marker lights-dang it!!

Would be interesting to see what the "fix" is for the "sticking to the wire" problem. I like this idea and now you have me searching for the answer!

Finished putting the fuel lines in tonight.

All of the original metal lines inside the frame rail were sleeved in a braided metal cover. I wrapped the inlet line in a heat wrap before sleeving it and heat shrunk the ends to make it clean. I have heard to many stories about vapor lock due to the ethanol fuel boiling in the line from exhaust heat. I figured I would heat wrap it now while it is easy to do... just in case.

I hope to get the motor buttoned up this week.
