Re: A '54 named Busty
I found some threaded holes underneath the frame horns so I chased them in hopes of using them at least to hold the mock up bracketry on for me
these may have been for the Camaro sway bar I'm not sure |

Re: A '54 named Busty
since one side of the stock front fender mounting brackets was already separated I decided to divorce the other side as well for easier installability and tinkerability
here I am grounding down the head of that rivet before pounding it out |

Re: A '54 named Busty
decided to give her a little colonoscopy today, just had to know the 8.5" 10 bolt rear end digits so that I could set my speedo proper in HP Tuners
we can make out 16 41 followed by 1 77 so looks like it was assembled on 1=January in 77=1977 then we take the bigger number 41 and divide it by the smaller number 16 carry the one, times the circumference of the earth and we go ourselves a 2.56 tall gear rear end, good highway gears but this don't explain why she is so burly with that little 5.3L in her http://www.teufert.net/camaro/1977.htm apologies the pics are blurry Last edited by Gregski; 04-20-2021 at 09:49 AM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
started wiring up the Auto Meter Z-Series gauges last night, the wires will get cleaned up, zipped tied and loomed, this is just a moch up to make sure everything reaches and works first
even found a place for the Obi-Wan Kenobi glad that I didn't have to drill new holes, same for the MIL aka check engine light, I may just put the high beam light in the other hole, might not even wire it up just use it as a conversation piece |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Don't forget to label that check engine light, lest you forget what it is. I'm not speaking from experience here, as far as you know....

Re: A '54 named Busty
so it appears the previous owner did a Craigslist rebuild on the rear end, aka rattle canned it black right over the grease and rust, that's not right so I took her down to bare metal

Re: A '54 named Busty
I don't know exactly why, but when you called it a bowl I had a great idea. Well it is a great idea in my opinion.... maybe not the wife's. I could use an old diff cover for a sink in the camper I'm building.

Re: A '54 named Busty
then I hit it with some red primer and allowed it to bake in the sun for a day or two, while my OCD got the best of me and I went to town on the 10 bolts of this Ten Bolt Rear End
