So where exactly are we,er, them at this point? Let us recap Days 5 and 6.

On Day 5 (1/17) the RidTech front suspension was buttoned up. TheBaer four wheel disc brake setup was installed, the Vintage Air system finished. There was a lot of cooling system and fuel system plumbing, audio system installation, and application of liberal amounts of Dynamat insulation in the cabin. 

On Day 6 (1/18) it was the mad rush to finish the Camaro in time for Firing Day. The Fiitech fuel tank and other fuel system components were installed and plumbed, but the main tasks were wiring, more wiring, and even more wiring. The final assembly of the interior was begun as well.
