Hi Adam,
Dan's photo looks very close to my Camaro which is original B/M. On this one Joel used the engine compartment battery tray and he added a section of heater hose to act as a grommet where the battery cable comes trough the trunk floor. He did the same thing for the fuel lines that run to the electric fuel pump. It sounds crazy but it still works after all those years.

Sam, I think you're totally misinterpreting the angle of Adam's questions. Adam, like I, were not around during the hey-day of these cars. He is seeking help to add METICULOUS details to his oftly rare cars. I know Adam well and he is hardly a trophy collector - he is a real enthusiast!

Dan

Dan,knowing that some of you guys were not around then or new to the hobby is why I was just pointing out that the way it was done in the old days is how Joel, Paul the Plowman and or most of us did things back then. Cheap, a somewhat jury rigged job BUT functional. Nothing trick and not alot of store bought stuff. Homemade and to the point. Don't think my statements need to be debated here. And YOU know personally that I would never knowingly steer any of you guys wrong.

:bigthumbsup: It was driveway paintjobs and backyard build ups back in the day. Sammy is spot on. He should actually be the admin of the Day 2 section.
