Ordered the last of the parts I need for the rebuild of the 12-bolt. Just need a couple of tools for the job. Debating on renting them vs buying them. Verified the parts I ordered match what I thought I needed comparing them to the original parts. Maybe start next weekend? I really need to get more garage time in, but work and other priorities have conflicted. Dusting off and revising my to-do list out there.

Rear Brakes
Received my rear brake’s for the 12-bolt rebuild. These are complete with the parking brake cable. I was going to go the disc brake route, but decided against it after researching posts on the topic. These should do just fine. The goal for this weekend is to inspect the rest of the parts and order what remains before re-assembling. I spent time watching the rebuild video start-to-finish and have already added to my shopping list. The 12-bolt gasket and bolts should be here next weekend.
More 12-bolt parts…
Yukon Gear & Axle Pinion Bearing and Eaton Posi Limited-Slip Gear Service Kit… Still need a few more parts before rebuilding
Another shipment for the 12-bolt rebuild
Picked this up on sale for the 12-bolt re-build: 
70 RS Bumper (Nose)
Already have another I will use, but couldn’t pass this up. Some cracks in the primer. This Spring I will strip and inspect in more detail:
8-22-2020 – More Suspension Parts
More parts for the 12-bolt rebuild. A set of rear end axle bearings and sleeves:
8-14-2020 Update
Have not posted much related to the Camaro lately. 2021 is dedicated to the suspension (including 12-bolt). The supplies are starting to trickle in:
engine mounts and misc screws for the misc parts in pic #2
New cross shaft for the 12-bolt rebuild – American Express had a deal with Summit Racing where if you spend $50 you get $10 back. I couldn’t pass up:
4-25-2020 – Tenzo-R-Turismo
I discovered another Tenzo-R-Turismo steering wheel and bought it (on left). I like it better than the first one I bought (on right).
Been busy swapping the mower deck back on the riding mower after taking the snow blower off. Going to have a few weeks of furlough this year, so coming up with a to-do list for the Camaro to see what I can work on. First will be some yard work around Memorial Day and then more time starting July for the Camaro.
01-01-2020 – AC and Heater Box
So I came across a reconditioned AC and Heater box from The Part Guy: thepartguy.com and got a good deal. I have enough parts, but they would have to be mailed off and then reconditioned, so I ended up getting the pair since they were available and ready to go – along with a deal for buying both at the same time!
The problem is – I don’t know where I have room to store these until I mount them… But since the firewall is painted, there is no reason why I can’t go ahead and mount them! I need to order the proper screws\bolts and the sealant used for these and then get them mounted to the firewall! Give me a few weeks and I should be able to post an update and pics!
Labor Day 2019 Update
Broke down the rotisserie and set up the sub-frame over the last week or so. Next steps will be to rebuild the 12-bolt and work on the suspension:
Unhooked from shell – shell on jack stands:
Tight fit in rear:
Most of rotisserie removed without knocking the shell off of the jack stands – just need to break down the portion in back:
Success!:
Now to work on either storing it or deciding to sell it:
Much more room without the rotisserie! 
4 new jack stands for the subframe: 
Rotisserie? What rotisserie?
Small pile of junk to throw out:
I can still use the ladder to access the 2nd floor where parts are stored: 
Garage is now ready to dive into suspension (it is better organized now than what is in final pic)… I can get the S10 back in the garage now and just have some dusting and vacuuming to do before winter hits!
