It wasn't today, but last week picked up a rough set of G8 rims and got Michelin X Ice tires installed on them for winter use.

I've also been making significant improvements in the idle tuning. The idle has been challenging me since the cam went in and custom exhaust went on. Summer tuning was ok, but now that the weather is getting cool again, more issues are turning up. I feel like I'm finally getting REALLY close to having it nailed down.

Did you get the cam installed? How do you like it? Are you running a stock torque converter? I just ordered the same cam today for a DOD delete.

Ordered remanned Brembo calipers from Rock Auto. Found on RA the rear Brembo Rotors that are apparently hard to find.

Used a 2014 Camaro to get all my parts.

Sssoooo if anyone is needing rear Brembo rotors got to RA.

All won’t deliver for a week, car is sitting now with the snow & ice here. Need tires and looking around which ones to get.

I installed a speaker in the right front door, and switched the door panel to the Chevy SS door panel that I've had for a few months.

I did have to swap the wiring harness from the Caprice to the Chevy SS door. I was surprised that there was an "insert" that came out for the Trunk Switch, so that swapped in very easy.

The speaker adapters from Crutchfield worked great. Their wiring harness adapter didn't even come close, so, clip and crimp (actually used some of those heat shrink with the solder in the middle connectors)!

Going to tackle the other door tomorrow.....Now that I know what to do!

Awesome! Did you get it tuned yet? Every day I work on my cam/head swap for about an hour on my lunch break. I am in no rush. Waiting for my heads to come back. Block is stripped down and ready to be put back together. I have the 3.45 and love it. Highly recommend.
