Yes, prop valve is a must like he said. I haven't hooked up e-brakes yet but I'll be looking into that in the near future. Probably try to figure out a way of using the same camaro's cables. We'll see...

I have lots more engine pics I can put up later if you want. as well as the install of my fuel cell. I plan on eventually getting a 45 degree fuel fill neck and a nascar style quick fill cap to mount in the quarter panel so I don't have to pop the trunk to put gas in. Again....where is that fine line between street car and race car? lol!

How did you make your spoiler?

Any pics of that process?

I have one pic of the cardboard template somewhere. lol I just made it from carboard, figured out what degree I wanted it angled, and took it to a shop that cut it from 1/8 in steel and bent it to my desired angle. And since the trunk has a slight curve to it I did have to make 1 cut right in the middle just down to where it bends, not all the way through, and then bolted it to the trunk and welded the gap back up and smoothed it out. My dad and I had both ours made at same time. I think it was about 80 bucks a piece. And they are heeeeavy duty! No slamming the trunk with these bolted on. lol!
