New parts I got for Christmas, Grant Steering wheel and adapter kit, want to use this and save some weight over the factory steering wheel and eliminate the air bags. Plus looks better than stock too. Also got a billet grill for the Camaro, but that is just dress up so I'll leave it off the list.

Grant Steering Wheel...$29.95
Wheel Adapter Kit...$20.95

Should have some installed pictures later this week.

Ok, finally got the car running again after pulling the heater and a/c box and related hardware. I have tons of room on the passenger side now!   I'm thinking about moving the computer to under the dash, any issues with that? 


I also pulled the power steering parts, the accessory bracket, and relocated the alternator down to where the a/c compresssor used to be. Seems to rev up alot faster now that it just has the alternator and crank pulley.


Next, I want to do the LS1 lid conversion, which all i need to get is the ls1 lid base (if anyone has a spare), a oval to circle coupler for the throttle body, and I will give it some room with a cowl induction hood. Hope to sell the moroso CIA to fund the ls1 lid swap. Also trying to work out a deal right now trading a built up 4l60 for some weld prostars (15x3.5s and 15x10s) So hopefully that goes through.


Took a couple pictures, I know everything is dirty, its the middle of winter so everything will have to wait until spring to get cleaned up. I took one of both my 4th gens together, one of the grant steering wheel installed, and another of the relocated alternator. Also drove the Z/28 around the block to get a feel of how it drives without the front sway bar and no power steering. Its not as bad as i thought. I backed into my parking spot no problem with the factory 16s on the front!
