| The battery was machined from aluminum and the battery tray was cut, scored and folded sheet aluminum, much in the same fashion as a sheet metal tray would be formed in 1:1. |

|
| The rear leaf springs and part of the axle were fabricated from brass. I’ll have to re-assemble them to see what I have to work with. Sure glad I bagged them as left & rights… |

|
| The headers are modified parts from the ’67Corvette I pulled the engine from. I added extensions for cut-outs. They will mate up to the chambered exhaust. Never got around to making the hardware, but no worries regarding those parts now, just more fasteners to machine.... |

|
| These are the new rotors. Modified from Tamiya left over parts, with new aluminum machined hubs. Studs are made from steel bolts. |

|
| Here are the spindles and backing plates, machined from aluminum back when I started this project, and they have been modified to accept the new rotors/calipers. |

| Upper control arms for the modified C4 Corvette suspension. Another similarity shared on my real Camaro… Also machined from aluminum a while back. |

| Machined from aluminum, with a foam element. It also needs some final finish work. |

| Reworked headers. Thicker, (now in scale) flanges were made out of styrene to replace the brass ones. I also drilled mounting holes in them. The brass mounting pins were replaced with steel pins. The extensions are aluminum tubing ( I forgot and thought I had made them from Plastruct like the roll bar). I also drilled the flanges and block-off plates for hardware. |
