Not entirely sure what he used. He did tell me it was a two part epoxy seam sealer. Stays flexible. I also believe he said it was around $45/tube, took at least two to do the car.Bruce69Camaro wrote:What did you use to seal your tubs to the body?
Car looks great!

Re: winter changes/upgrades
Between last evening and today, I had some productive time in the shop. No huge progress, but was able to finish up several small projects.
The rear tinwork is all riveted in place.
The brake lines are now complete front to back only needing to order the rear flex lines once the rear is set in place to measure for length.
The fire system is now completely installed and plumbed as well. Quite a project for sure.
Tomorrow morning I will begin the wiring. I'm sure it'll be a slow start as I need to come up with a plan on wire routing, etc.

Re: winter changes/upgrades
As I thought, slow start on the wiring, but it's a start anyway. lol
Couple pics I missed previously.
This next pic shows the overhead switch panel wires attached to the A-pillar. This was done as the A-pillar trim will cover/hide the wires.

K&R Performance. Pretty nice piece for the money. Came complete with the switch panel, relay board, all the wiring, ring terminals, heat shrink, wire ties, a starter relay and a huge laminated wiring diagram....$550 from Jegs for the heavy duty model with stud terminals.John_Heard wrote:Looks great Todd - whose Relay Panel is that?

Ah ok, I didn't remember that one.
I like your idea for running the wires behind the pillar covers.

Re: winter changes/upgrades
I do have to correct though. The kit came with plain black wire heat shrink. I purchased a label printer to print the white heat shrink labels and then covered them with clear heat shrink to keep the labels from getting smudged or dirty from handling.

Made a little progress on the wiring this evening.
Re: winter changes/upgrades
Ok, so which door panel is that ? I would think that'd be the passenger door panel, right ?DOTracer wrote:Made a little progress on the wiring this evening.

Haven't made the door panels yet.
Re: winter changes/upgrades
Little more progress from last evening. Slow progress, but starting to look like something.
Hard part is done, now I just need to run the wires to their destinations and make the connections.

Re: winter changes/upgrades
Is that your data logger wire bundle on top of the trans tunnel?
Your not the first to do that, but I've got to ask "why"? Lots of extra wire, and there should be room under the dash?
