Low Mile 2002 Camaro Z28

[skates15]

Yes and I am up in the air on if I want to keep it or not. Im leaning towards yes since it was part of the original paint set up.

Keep it. I'm thinking of what a pin stripe would look lime on my patriot blue 1500.

Awesome time capsule! Fantastic condition! I can only imagine the fun you’ll have driving it! What tires do you run…size?

I have a 2000 WS6! Stock motor with a tune! ARH headers with ARH catted y-pipe into a Borla tuned cat-back! I installed a cutout instead of the tuning rings!

Too much chassis work to list, but fun at the road track, occasionally in the higher 12s in the 1/4! (More of a track car!)

I do love my TA, though it doesn’t come close the the new stuff 1/4 wise! Just a fun driver!

Congratulations on the acquisition. Very nice car. I have a 2000 Firebird Formula, but all stock.

I wanted a TA so bad. Red specifically. There are just none here that aren't trashed. I love you WS6! Tire size its got Kumho 25/45/18s on the rear and 245/45/18 on the front. It does not like the tires. It will roast the tires like the Bullit mustang in Bullit lol. I am looking for a set of drag radials, but then I would want big and littles. The joys of having a hot rod lol.

I know my 275 40 17s roach up pretty easy on a factory motor! Monster twin disc clutch, Tick Perf adjustable pedal, and remote bleeder(and line-lock), help it a bit!
;-P

Its been a semi busy week. Installed a black billet grill with a LSX emblem. I got every bulb changed out and working with modern bright LED's. I still need to swap out 2 more in the interior, but the main ones are done. I have a shifter handle conversion coming and also a black Hurst pistol grip shifter. New dash cover is in as well. I just finished buttoning it all up.

 

[Treburkulosis]

Added a Hurst handle to it. I hate trying to shift the car with the stock knob.

Nice pistol grip!

I went T-top with thumb trigger for the line-lock!



Red switch in the ashtray arms the line-lock and light between the Top and TCS rockers!

The rocker switch in the base of the ashtray opens/closes exhaust cutout!

Also, under the lighter socket, there’s a switch to turn on my electric fans (hi/lo)! Helps keep the engine cool when waiting to stage!

 

[Treburkulosis]

That is my favorite handle. I am jelly of the 6 speed! Mine is just getting started. I want to add a line lock and my nitrous kit. I was going to go out to TX2k24, but we are leaving tomorrow for Broken Bow. They moved it about an hour from me. I will be there next year.

Have a blast! Looking forward to see more of your build!

Finally moved it out today. We have been in Broken Bow. I need to install my smooth bellow. I am doing a Berger panel with a Nickey Chevrolet emblem. I am trying to score a rear set of black race stars with MT ET Streets.

So clean! Love the color! No stripes in the road yet?

On the main road out of the neighborhood and in our kids stuck up school car pool line leaving out lol.

 

[Treburkulosis]

There is this really nerdy guy teacher in the line that is a a hole. Anyways I love making him smell the smell of Freedom Fumes! He gets so pissed at me because the car is super gassy.

 

[Treburkulosis]

Lots of appearance stuff happening. I installed a smooth bellow. That was a PITA with the Volant intake. I installed my tablet so that it has a touch screen. I did the Berger panel mode on the tail panel. Ive decided to follow the same idea that I did with my 67 RS/SS and do a Nickey tribute car. I am waiting on the rest of my decals and another Z28 emblem to arrive and then I am swapping the emblems. I literally got the last set of Nickey emblems on the internet lol. They were a pretty penny. I am trying to score some Race stars this weekend. The guy works odd hours so its tough.I taught my little car buddy how to sand this week. We painted the calipers black. I am taking it to its first show tomorrow. My 83 year old grandpa is bringing his 72 Grand Prix that he bought new. It should make for a fun show. Ill have some better pictures by Sunday.

 

[Treburkulosis]

I also shortened the shifter. I have it working, but I need to work out some stuff with it. The main thing is it shifts out of park.

 

[Udy2554]

Still have the ‘67? I wish I had 2 of my “old” cars! ‘68 RS/SS with 375hp 327ci!(tunnel rammed w/dual 600s, 13:1 pistons, fuelie heads), and my ‘70 1/2 455HO TA(640HP at the back tires)(raced at Summit Pt in the SVRA in the late 80s!)!

I’d love to see the ‘72 Grand Prix! My college roommate had one! AWESOME, “sleeper” grocery getter!

Z28 is looking SWEET!

I wish. I had it ready for paint. It was a Van Nuys early SS car. It had almost every option available in 67. It was a 350/Th400 car. I had a rare SSP Mustang that I had built 8 years earlier come back up for sale. I ended up selling it and getting the Mustang. Ill take pictures. He finally had it repainted back in 2010. It was a triple white car. He didn't put the vinyl top back on in due to the rust issues they cause. Parts are almost non existent. It still never been rebuilt. He did get away from the points distributor a few years back. The entire driveline is still how it rolled off the assembly line. Its a 400/400 SJ car. That is awesome about the 68 and I really like the 70 TA cars. They looked so good. I have been building muscle cars with my dad since the 80s and then Ive been doing my own builds for over 25 years. There is just something therapeutic about building or car showing a car.

 

[Udy2554]

Sometimes Therapeutic, sometimes quite frustrating!!! Many times I’ve had to step away!

My dad passed just before I turned 11 in ‘77! He did love cars though! His summer car was a ‘65 convertible Skylark! BB421 wit a 4-speed!(maybe a precursor to the GSX?) Hus winter beater was a ‘73 Opel GT! I remember him doing donuts and fishtailing turns in both! One on snow, one on pavement! Mom traded them, and the ‘67 convertible Electra 225 for a Buick Estate Wagon(5 kids when dad passed)! 3 rows of leather, OldsmoBuick 403(TA auto motor?) 3.73 gears and turbo 400!!! That thing embarrassed IROCs to about 85 mph when I got my license at 17! I bought it off her as a senior in HS! Cracked the heads busting snowdrifts that winter! Packed radiator with snow… Wish I had that car nowadays!(There’s a built, 4-speed Roadmaster Wagon out this way now!!!)
