I'll give you $200k to run down to Texarkana and bring me back 400 cases of Coors in 24 hours. And maybe pick up an elephant on the way......

Looking good Jeremy. been waiting a long time to see that thing finally roar up. I was out in Wilmington NC this past weekend and two of my buddies have 4th gen maros and couldnt get over the fact that my car has been sitting for 2 1/2 years. And finally started getting the motivation to diving back into it. But seeing you and how far you have come along with your car is beyond my little transmission issue. Thanks for the motivation man!

So what's the new news with this project Jer? Anything new going on with it? You think your gonna make OC cruisin weekend in May?

[ls1camino]

Been busy with starting my company. Haven't touched the car in months. I'm always in OC for Spring and Fall Cruising Weekends...look for the white and maroon chevy dually.

Damn that both sucks and is good! Hopefully both of the projects (new co. & frankenbird) work out for ya.

[RedFenix_68]

Hey Jeremy, if you get Frankenbird up and running to the point of cruising it let us know. I am sure some of the guys round here would be willing to try and get something together to go cruise over a weekend or something.

Since my old brake lines were rusted and I was adding a ABS delete, I decided to redo all of my brake lines using blanks from the auto parts store.


Here is my line lock for the front brakes and the proportioning valve for the rear brakes. The proportioning valve is there to regulate how much brake pressure is applied to the rear since it should be receiving less pressure than the fronts which get the full power of the pedal. For the most part I was OCD about the bends...under the hood I used a tube bender, but when it came time to connect to the calipers, I just hand bent them to where I needed them to go.

Jeremey, just making sure I got this right. I hope to be working on the brake lines this weekend. Is my diagram correct below?

[ls1camino]

Aren't there brake lines in the rear of the ABS Module as well?

[SMWS6TA]

nope just the one's I pointed to.


might be the LT1 yrs
