Brought home another 4th gen Fbody

[98tadriver]

I bought some parts from a really nice guy on LS1tech and after seeing the roller he had for sale, i realized i would be kicking myself if i didnt jump on the sweet deal. It was in Ladson, south carolina, near charleston

all i need to make this work is a motor and exhaust, which i have already got lined up for it :D

Its a 1999 camaro Z28 with 62,000 miles (6speed of course). its in excellent condition. this car will be the cruiser, the T/A will be the race car, and the topaz will remain my work car.

I thank cody for coming along using his 8.1 liter-factory optioned, chevy avalanche and trailer to make this happen. If i buy a truck/suv in the future, thats what id get. the ride was awesome

this car has alot of appearance mods.

Nice acquisition, Ron.

[FIcamaroRE92]

Nice car, what are your plans for the engine?

[NJ346]

Nice ron, was this car listed on ls1tech? it looks really familiar.

[deadtrend1]

sweet, im just happy the Topaz will still be around also .. :)

[sweetbmxrider]

definitely looks really good! really nice buy!

2 things, get inlays to match the z28 or do away with the badges. ss spoiler and hood :-P

do you know if they are projector housings and true HID's? if not, that light pattern will be so scattered, it will be like driving a sealed beam lt1 :shock:

definitely a looker and best of luck with it :)

[maroman88]

i saw this for sale.. looks nice!

the thing in the grille is the police thin blue line plate lol

[NJSPEEDER]

Nice lookin car Ron. Congrats!

[NJ Torque]

i have a silver ss hood, ron... PM me if interested.

[NJ Torque]

also, the plate, and the sticker on the rear bumper is a thin blue line..that protects law-abiding citizens from the criminal element.

[BurninrubberGT]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<jealous




lol awsome looking camaro

[Frosty]

do you know if they are projector housings and true HID's? if not, that light pattern will be so scattered, it will be like driving a sealed beam lt1 :shock:



No projectors. They're the halo headlights to look like the BMW angel eyes that have the ring lit up all the time.

Nice pick up, good luck with it!

[NjbadSS]

Awesome find! Car looks like a fun project with lots of potential

[98tadriver]

thanks guys! hmm maybe ill keep that plate on there then lol. once i get it roadworthy, ill see how those headlights work out for me. they look almost purple and my guess is theyre most likely illegal lol. ill have to see how long the good ol state of nj takes to transfer the title since its out of state. ill have plenty of time to get it ready. worst case scenario (if the title takes the full 6wks to transfer), it would be on the road by the 2nd or 3rd week of may. im still laid off, so i will have plenty of time to work on it and do it right. as far as my plans go, itll remain fairly stock for now, but i cant rule out a couple runs as is, and then maybe do a lid/exhaust. the trans am will be the race car now :D

[Teds89IROC]

nice car ron, congrats!

[98tadriver]

thanks ted! :D

[madness410]

sweet car man although i saw it pre njfboa post ahah

[98tadriver]

ah yes, a few people have. facebook for the win lol

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Very nice fbod..Congrats on the pick up.:nod:

[baddest434]

nice pick up ron! looks really good.

[98tadriver]

thank you fellas! i hope to keep this car looking good and keep the interior and everything inside too lol

[JL8Jeff]

Looks like a good project. Gotta get rid of those headlights though! :barf:

-

[Blackbirdws6]

Really diggin the hood. Looks like a clean roller. Good luck getting it all together for the summer.

[Knipps]

looks good man, congrats.

[Tru2Chevy]

Car looks good Ron!

Yea, non-projector housings + HIDs + purple looking light = bad, and most definitely illegal.

A good HID swap would be nice, get some projectors to fab into the housings and a good HID bulb (something in the 4000k range is best, 6000k is ok, anything higher just looks blue / purple and has less usable light output) and you'll be in business.

[FBODS4EVER]

sweet score ron.

[98tadriver]

thanks guys. jeff, im curious whats wrong with the headlights?? I think youre just too old school to accept the look of them lol

[NJ346]

Ron let me know if you have any interest in selling that carbon fiber filler panel in the back. I have a nice berger panel for the car:lol:

[madness410]

oh upon further look that blue plate thing is a thin blue line license plate. the blue represents law enforcement and the black signifies good and evil, and how law enforcement stands between both. if you are going to scrap it ill take it off your hands

[NastyEllEssWon]

as for titles ron. the last 3 cars i bought were out of state. they print the titles out right there for you at dmv now. no more mailing out of out of state titles.:nod:

[NJ346]

as for titles ron. the last 3 cars i bought were out of state. they print the titles out right there for you at dmv now. no more mailing out of out of state titles.:nod:

Yea, same here. Both my cars were from Pennsylvania. The Camaro I had to wait for the title(Jan 08), but with the truck I had the title as soon as I left DMV(Feb 09)

[98tadriver]

nice! you guys just made my night (about the title thing) i should be able to get it road worthy before the wildwood car show in may!

[EODMonkey]

looks real good. can you shoot some pics of the carbon-fiber interior i was thinking about it for mine

[bubba428]

damn dude, I'd make the T/A the cruiser and build something with retarded power for that.

[98tadriver]

naw, i have some goals to achieve at the track with the 98. im dead set on that. the camaro is alot nicer appearance wise. it has the interior in it and everything :lol:

[camaro2you]

And what a drive it was to get that car lol, although i must say once down there I didn't want to come back to jersey. Ron, I already have some goodies coming for the avy like i talked about on the trip lol.

[enRo]

FFS dont get hockey stripes :roll:

Congrats. Looks like it will make for a sweet cruiser :nod:

[sweetbmxrider]

- Justin

yeah for it to be purple, its probably like 16,000k-20,000k :lol: definitely illegal

4300k is closest to pure white and has the best light output. hidplanet.com is a great source for info as is ls1tech


good luck not modding the hell out of it though :lol:

[98tadriver]

thanks for the input and advice, ill take a look on that sight

cody- modding the avalanche ftw!

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Nice find Ron!! Good luck with it :)

[98tadriver]

[jims69camaro]

well, you've gotten my wife's attention with this car. i never thought i'd be able to get her to look twice at one. this car was the ticket.

very nice.
