We both know the answer to that quote....and the "ONLY" way that car is going to see that much air is when it's going up on the trailer or up on a floor jack!....bracketchev1221 wrote:I sure hope so.

Re: Winter Upgrades....
Those shocks are probably wondering what in the hell did we do to deserve being taken off a Chevelle and put on a Camaro?

The shocks were scared of the speed so they needed a break!

Love you guys.....

Re: Winter Upgrades....
That is nice work Bruce. I'm working on my own switching and relay setup and will post more content after a bit. I can't believe how much work it has taken to wire this stuff up.Bruce69Camaro wrote:Forgot to post a picture of another upgrade that I had fun doing.

Re: Winter Upgrades....
Thanks Harry, I like what you got going on.
Did you figure out how your going to hang the box off of the hoop?
This wiring plan was fun. I used to hate wiring, now I don't mind it at all, once you figure out how to do it.
Guess my 20 years of working on boilers did pay off for something....LOL

Yep, I got the switch box mounted. I used some lightweight clamps from Summit:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lng-22755
These Longacre clamps (my proshop price is a bit under $16 each) are for 1 3/4" bar and like John I'm running 1 5/8" in my cage. I spent another $3 on a 6 inch long piece of 1 5/8" exhaust tubing which just happens to be 1 3/4" on the outside. I cut a couple of narrow rings from the tubing and cut them on one side so I could fit them around the smaller tube. I had to take about .020 off the mating surface of the clamps to get a good clamp but as you can see it worked out pretty well. This is mockup on a bit of leftover 1 5/8" tubing...
Here's the box mounted on the hoop. As you can see, there's still a bunch of wiring to finish, but I'm making good progress
I'll post more photos once I get the box mounted and the relay panel finished.
