Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics
Thanx for the info. I have to install a VA setup in my 72 and take the original setup out. I'm not looking forward to it. Thanx Dana

Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics
Finally got the Vintage Air system installed…..Not exactly what I would call “SURE FIT”……but not that bad either….The installation instructions are really more like a “tip sheet” rather than real instructions……and their sequence is not correct either!......Now that I’m done I could install the next one in a ¼ of the time!
They (V.A.) claim that on non-air cabs there is no cutting of the firewall required….That’s BS…..You need cut it out as pictured to accommodate the upper binary safety switch line….I chose to make a quickie cover plate for the unused firewall openings….(I did see another forum member had to make the same cut I did)

Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics
Finished up the last of the interior dyeing I needed to do....Several different people have recommended this "Colorbond" stuff.....it was super easy to work with....virtually no prep!...Just clean w/acetone and then apply with 3 or 4 light mist coats.....It really just soaks in nice, quite amazing!.....I hope it lasts as good as it looks!
Here's the link to their site...I could'nt find the color I needed on their color chart....but I was able to locate the correct "Medium Blue" in that same brand at one of the Camaro parts house's (Rick's)..... http://www.bryndana.com/index.html

Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics
I just went through the whole thread and I am impressed to say the least. I like them stock too. When (in the begining) I read that you were going to add factory air I said to myself aw man you need to go V.A...then I saw you did. You'll be glad you did. I put it on my truck and I will do it again and yes the instructons are out of sequence imo too. Next time I'm puting the lines on before finish mounting the evap box. Nice job!!

No real updates....still waiting on the seat guy to finish the buddy buckets...as soon as they are done, I will get back on it....Its so close, I'm ready to get her done and start enjoying her!
I did get side tracked a little bit here lately when I found this one owner 68 RS/SS Camaro that I just had to have....All original w/matching numbers and original paint....Got a SMOKING deal and could not pass it up....I may just flip it, have'nt decided yet...

Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics
Actually have a little progress to report....Finally got my seats, door panels, headliner and visors back from my upholstery guy....Mounted up the seats to the frame and took a real test drive....Had her on the freeway and everything!....Other than some pretty "loose" steering she ran great!
Had a buddy come over and help me align the body panels and install the door seals..so thats now done!.....Gonna put the grille and front bumper on in the next couple days and then I will down to just the interior. I believe I have everything (parts wise) to get her completed....Shooting for two-weeks completion...I will then need to get her back to my painter and have it wet sanded and buffed...... Here's the Buddy Buckets.....More pics to come soon!
