1995 ECSB BlueJay

Fade ought to be able to be done by amyone who works in a body shop. The technique is very similar to blending.

Very cool. That is good to know. I have seen some Mark III trucks with fade that were not painted right and they look awful. Mostly likely done by amateurs.

Thank CSO. I have never seen another Blue one. I have seen a Hunter green and several Maroon.

The new blinkers arrived today make it even better. I'm really starting to dig this truck. I have a few more cosmetic upgrades to do and some tuning on the engine. Then an aftermarket exhaust I it will be ready for daily use.

DOT approved. I want to thank Shovelbill again for his lighting thread. These are awesome. I am also going to build my own headlight relay harness with the high4 and a switch. Need to hit the junkyard up and see if I can find the elusive fog lamp switch.

I need to get some new amber 1157's which leads me down another rabbit hole. Going to try some LED ones.

I cleaned out from behind the 64' so I could get the last brake lines installed and then bleed the brakes. Man I need to order the 4" rear lower springs!

I got all the brake lines installed and tightened all connections. Then I proceeded to bleed the brakes. Every single connection leaked so I went back and fought to get all of them tight for an hour. Then I got fluid to the back lines and the front. I still have air in the system. I stopped after a few hours of crawling up and down my body gave out. I will tackle it this weekend and have working brakes very soon. Then I just need to get the new skin on the driver door and a shifter and we can go down the road for a test drive.

One last thing the front t block to connect the rear lines was the wrong size for the rear. I had saved my old one thankfully and after I cleaned it out it went on with no hassle. Thank goodness I saved it.

My Camaro used to look like yours, then it lived on a road course starting in 2004. Amazing how much better they look when they're not beat to ****.
