started and messed up the interior on my art paint

Sharp looking camaro. I especially like the serpentine pulley system. I've wanted to tackle a belt system like that and couldn't figure it out but the pic you showed of the front of the engine will help me out tremendously!..thanks !.....'Z'

Very, very nice in all areas. Did the open grille come that way in the kit?

[Steve Keck]

Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks Steve!

As for the pulley system look up Billet Specialties and search for TruTrac in their catalog. The installation pdf's provide a nice line drawing for visual reference once you find your application.

My biggest hurdle was aligning the variuos pulleys into one plain. I used .032 piano wire for mounting the bracket to the engine block and brass tubing to stand it off the propper distance. Start with the water pump and work out. And, don't forget to install a reverse direction water pump!

Thanks Jordan!

IIRC the grill came in the kit but I had to grind off the back and finish the job with the back side of and Exacto blade.

I love the paint job on this camaro! You got one pic there that you really couldnt tell that it was a model and not a real car!

Thanks, Russ.

IIRC I used the houndstooth decals from the convertible kit. They come black over clear. The pace car kit has orange so be careful.
