Project Budget 10 Second Camaro Thread by Black94Z28

3 minute(s) of a 176 minute read

Along the way I am going to be keeping track of what is spent on parts and post any changes and try to do write ups on little tricks or stuff I discover along the way. I will post time slips until I get to my goal. So far the car hasnt been to the track, but I'm going to guess if i raced it "as is" right now, I would get a high 13 second timeslip.

I am going to try and hit the junkyard though on Monday and see if I can pick up some decent sunvisors, somet-tops that arent scratched, and I need the little bracket that attaches the fenders to the front bumper. I believe from the factory it was rivited to the tops of the bumper and one bolt attaches it to the fender. Right now where the fender meets the top part of the bumper, its a little loose. Cant find this bracket anywhere Although this has nothing performance related, its really all I need as far as the "Restoration" part of the car goes.

Ok, I purchased an alternator relocate kit from Jerry on this board which also eliminates the power steering. Now all I have is the crank pulley and the alternator pulley. Hopefully this will free up some weight and horsepower down the road.

Also picked up some sheet metal to cover the huge hole in the firewall after I tore the heat and A/C out. I took the firewall gasket, layed it down on the sheet metal, marked an outline and marked where the bolt holes where so i can just trim the piece I need and bolt everything up (Im going to paint this black before I put it on, so I will have the picture for that once I get it painted)

I guess lets start the price list...

Summit Race Seats with leather covers (bought used) $100

Alternator Relocate/PS Delete Bracket & Belt (bought used) $75

Sheet Metal for A/C/Heat-Delete Block Off Plate (Menards) $4.60

Here is the kit on Jerrys car...

And here is the kit waiting to go on the car
