Homologation should have always been required for all race cars. Imagine walking into your local Cadillac/Buick/GMC dealer in the year 2000 and seeing one of these in Gold Firemist Metallic with turn signals and a plate bracket in the showroom between an 8th gen DeVille and a 1st gen Escalade

I’ll post pretty much any Cadillac race car but this one is quite special to me even if it didn’t do much on the world stage

I think I mentioned it as “original” before and, while the car is a lot less original than we initially thought, the AC is original in that it’s been installed for the car’s entire life from what we can tell, just not factory optioned.

Nathaniel @ndh111.bsky.social · 19h

Yes, the AC is a dealer add-on type setup that’s mounted under the dash. It has the evaporator and blower motor under the passenger side and a set of vents and controls under the driver side. I wish I had a better shot of it by itself but this is what it looks like before and after removing the dash

Interior of the Camaro with the seats and console partially removed. The AC system can be seen mounted underneath the dashboard above both footwells.

POV shot of the Camaro driving down a country road from the passenger seat. The AC vents in front of the separate AC condenser and blower can be seen by my knees under the glove box.

The Camaro’s interior with the seats, carpet, dashboard, and center console removed. The AC system is lying on the floorpan. On the passenger side (near) is the main unit which has two vents on the front of the evaporator and blower motor. It is attached to the driver side with a corrugated ducting tube which has two additional vents and the controls for the system.

More Camaro Time. Dashboard reassembled with the lower section and doing some investigation on the AC, turns out it’s Sears & Roebuck brand. #weirdcarbs

A white 1972 Camaro in a garage with a carpet on the hood.

New upper dash pad and instrument cluster bezel for the Camaro reassembled with the cleaned up lower dash plastics and heater vents in a box face down in the bed of my brother’s VW Caddy

Shitty picture of the tag on the back of the driver side duct and control panel for the AC that mounts under the dash.

Is it a new mailbox? I know water issues don’t always make themselves apparent until things are already wet, but that sounds like an issue someone should have come across before 🤔 I have my fingers and toes crossed that things get better for you 🤞

Nathaniel @ndh111.bsky.social · 1d

People will literally spend collector prices on a classic car only to put the cheapest Amazon junk LEDs on it. Insane when Holley Retrobrights exist.

Nathaniel @ndh111.bsky.social · 1d

Stef, I’m so sorry, but between this and the moving fiascos, I think you may have some sort of postal curse on you.

Not a ton of work done today but I had to finally christen the Camaro with some OATS. #weirdcarbs @ohoat.bsky.social

Rear window of the Camaro with a list of things to do taped in the middle. An OHOAT Deerfella Crossing sticker is in the bottom left corner. The ends of the seatbelts are also wrapped in bubble wrap and taped to the window to keep them out of the way while working on the interior.

Closeup of the OHOAT sticker in the window corner.

Still waiting on light bulbs for the cluster and foam for the heater ducts but gave the lower dash plastics a bath and painted and repaired the duct brackets which I dare say turned out better than factory, not that the bar was incredibly high to begin with. #weirdcarbs

Driver side bezel for the heater vent from the Camaro dashboard covered in years of grime.

One of the heater ducts with the rusty bracket still installed and the two pieces from the other side next to it. The brackets were untreated metal riveted into the plastic duct.

Inside of the duct with the bracket reinstalled. It has been cleaned and painted flat black and has new aluminum rivets.

Under/outside of the heater duct showing the two rivets and painted bracket.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Just did one of these punctuation: ~! in a work email by accident but left it because it adds an air of whimsy to a long Friday

I don’t have that many for my pedals but I do have a bunch for PA monitors that should probably be done that way that are just hidden under the edges of the studio carpet instead lol

*have no idea what I was actually looking up in the first place but pretty sure it wasn’t exhaust related*

I kind of want an Accord to not break my sedan streak but this looks very nice. Swap those multi-spokes for a set of Equip 40s and some OATs in the back window and I’d be set
