Camaro SS build

[Skraight.]

Thanks, really bummed right now.

Took apart all of the OEM suspension in preparation for the install. Even took out the rear carpet/trim.

Went to install the rear bags and realized RideTech sent me the wrong size 90* fittings. Fuck.

Called everywhere, searched menards, lowes, napa, etc. No luck, the only 2 places that have them aren't open on weekends.

I only had til monday to finish this as I'm home for the weekend for spring break and looks like it won't be getting finished.

So to not feel like I didn't do anything I installed new o2 sensors that it needed and got some sandpaper/paint/primer to work on the wheels.

TL;DR:Took apart all of car in prep for install
Ridetech sent wrong part
installed o2 sensors
air ride install delayed until who knows when.
working on wheels this weekend instead

no parker stores in your area ?

That happens to me EVERYDAY. Just saturday my radiator fans died on me, I spent the whole fucking day searching for right type of relays and came home with a GSD biting pillow and overheating engine.

air ride install delayed until who knows when.

Dangit. I got excited.

[Skraight.]

Nope no Parkers in my area.

Also when trying to strip the wheels couldn't figure out why the stripper wasn't working very good. The wheels were coated with some sort of epoxy? So they are going to the powdercoater for media blasting.

Ordering the pieces I need from bag riders today so hopefully I can actually start on this.

[Skraight.]

Bag riders shipped my 2 new fittings today and I dropped off my wheels at the powder coaters.

Thought this was kind of ironic and funny. A civic higher than a camaro.

[Skraight.]

A small update, all I can think about is installing the air ride, and waiting until may will kill me.

Tomorrow I'm going to call into work and request the whole weekend of Apr 5-7th off.

That should be enough time to install it all right?

[Skraight.]

A good update if anyone is even following this thread any more.

I got my requested days off, so the install should be going on the 5-8th.

Also my wheels are done at the powder coaters!

And lastly, my gotti center caps finally got here from france! original caps for 12$ a piece, not bad!

[herrakani]

Cool!

love this car. now moar pitchers guy!

[Skraight.]

Thanks, there will be a lot more 35mm pictures coming when I get it all installed and I'll take some of the process.

And any opinion on what type of steering wheel I should run?

I want to do a wood grain one to pay homage to the 60's special edition camaros that came with them, but it may look off in this car.

very nice man. cant wait for pictures!

[AndyMpire]

i say find an original 1st gen camaro wood wheel for it. i think that would be badass.

[Skraight.]

Got it all installed :-) took a day and a half and we took our time to make sure everything was done correctly.

Here's a few photos and a teaser shot of the rear at 75 psi

Stopped by the shop for some supplies:
