need to make sure all bolts and rear is centered, install rear pads and rotors, parking brake cables, front pads and rotors, trans mount ,, picked up a poly one, figure out what exhaust i am going to use, replace y-pipe and left side exhaust manifold, make sure the fuel and brake lines are completly bolted down, i have new injectors but going to hold off on that for now, get an alighment. so i figure about 1 to 2 weeks should be able to put on road and drive it, maybe sooner,

[ted gerlach]

now that i have done what i could due with the house since sandy its time to get back to work on this, i have gotten out more parts, decided to swap out the shocks and struts to bilstein's got some chrome c5 z06 wheels 17 front and 18 rear, also picked up a set of spohn adjustible front lower control arms, going to use the slp headers that got wet from the flood waters and sell the edelbrocks i have also going to install the muflex cat back, but first i need to scrap the shell of an impala ss and finish cutting up the 92 v-6 firebird that did not make it,

[IROCZman15]

if you are swapping o some different rims....what are you planning to do with the older ones (the ones in the pics on page 1) or are they somehow trashed from the hurricaine?

[ted gerlach]

this camaro and the 24 foot inclosed trailer were at the storage spots i rent. the wheels were in the back of the trailer, along with other parts

[ted gerlach]

well its been a long road but car is on hold sandy did way more than i ever could have expected, i have not touched the car since the flood got parts out then they came to due the front steps and found a whole lot of termite and carpenter ant damage it took me almost 2 months to fix all the damage that was found but now house is solid as a rock and this week the insulation has been installed, 70 sheets of sheet rock in garage and Thursday is the day for installation,
now back to car, lost more than i thought to flood water so as soon as i get alittle bit of time i am going to bring car home clean it out and take a good look at it see what what i still need to get and try to finish//or just get on road for the summer

Ted,

You can always call us at CTW Motorsports for a set of wheels...

[ted gerlach]

i have 2 sets of wheels i like,,, chrome Z06 and the bonspeeds, just not sure what wheels i should put on it,, think it might get the Z06 wheels today

[ted gerlach]

Z06 wheels are on and look awesome, so they are staying for now.... car has been transported to a shop to have the edelberock headers installed as well as the borla cat back, need to get a radiator its leaking [ since i got the car ] going to due griffin or be-cool not sure witch one yet, also going to have slp runners and plenum i have set out and powder coated crome like should look nice with the black vette valve covers, even if its only a 305,

[ted gerlach]

just an update,
thanks to dave's help. he got the headers on y-pipe in, roller rockers on , gm performance valve covers on, a set of bilstin shocks and struts in , ac delco plugs, taylor wires msd cap rotor and coil all on and done, just needs to put borla under it, then its off to exhaust shot to due the custom work i want done.
car runs pretty well for a 305 just for ha ha's i might throw the set of slp runners and ported plenum on,
still need to do front and rear rotors and pads, install griffen rad and blue goodyear hoses i have for the car, just need to order a edelbrock water pump and possibly a heater core to just do the complete coolant system over,
this is the plans i have
after dave's hopefully in the next 2 weeks depending on weather maybe more, off to exhaust shop, then to my work for and alignment, then straight to bodyshop for some work to be done, cant afford to get car painted but i can get the parts edged in and put on for now, this is what has to be done at bodyshop
