| The front spoiler is made of black molded plastic and mounts to the car under the front
valance. |
|
|
| The mounting kit for the front spoiler is not available for the early second generation
Camaros. I decided to make my own spoiler braces out of some steel pipe and used a press to
make the flat mounting ends. I used stainless steel button head bolts to mount the braces
and spoiler. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Here are pictures of the spoiler brace installed on the driver's side. You can also see the
how the spoiler attaches to the valance using nuts and bolts. |
|
|
| Here are pictures of the spoiler installed. I opted to not drill into the valance for the
side mounting screws of the spoiler. I did screw into the back of the valance in the wheel well. |

|
| I picked up a set of the Glass lens headlights with removable H4 bulbs. The headlights
have a halo ring that I hooked up to come on with the parking lights. The lights required
trimming the headlight bucket and the headlight mount. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The light required wire hookups for the halo ring and a small color bulb in the headlight.
I didn't want to cut my new parking light harness, so I made a harness that fits between the
parking light harness and the parking light. This makes this headlight wiring easy to
remove in the future if I ever get rid of these lights. |
|
|
| Here are the lights installed in the car. Overall they are ok. I am not thrilled about
the light output from these. I am using relays so I have enough voltage. However; they
do not seem much brighter than the old sealed beams. |

|
| Before installing the back seat, I had to install the factory seat belts. |
|
|
|
|
| Before I installed the rear seat back, I glued down the front edge of the rear package tray. |
Here are the back seats after a good cleaning. I picked these up off of Craig's list. |
|
|
| Here are the seats installed. The back installed first then the bottoms. Everything looks
better in person than in the picture. The flash seems to throw the colors off. |
|
|
| I also decided to clean up the door jamb area with Ring Brothers billet door strikers. The
striker is made from 304 stainless steel and the base is made from 6061-T6 billet
aluminum that has a black anodized coating. The old ones look plain ugly next to
the new ones. |
|
|
| I used tape to mark the location of the original strikers so I didn't have to adjust the new
ones too much. |
|
|
|
|
| The Fesler Built Door Lock Knobs replace the plastic factory units. They are made of
6061-T6 aluminum and include rubber o-rings for the grooves. |
|
|
|
|
| I decided to upgrade the steering wheel to a Grant Elite GT steering wheel. This steering
wheel has a diameter of 14 inches and has polished aluminum spokes. Installation was simple
because I was replacing an old worn Grant GT steering wheel. So the adaptor was already
on the column. |
