That Z snout is really gonna look badass! Good choice.

Glad you decided to save it.

A 6 speed Vert will be a fun diver and could be a collectable in the future.

Car is going to look great when you are done. So what is the plan for the 2nd gen now?

I'm looking for another 2010-2012 Camaro SS donor for my 73 Camaro. Currently high bidder on one being auctioned tomorrow. I have 2 out of state vacations in the next 4 weeks so the car playtime will be paused abit. I have about 15 months to finish the 73 if I'm going to make 2025 Hot Rod Power Tour and I'm still working fulltime.

The 73 Camaro is getting 275/40/17 x4 installed this Thursday.

You buying up Camaros like me buying gym shorts.

Removed the front bumper and was happy to see no damage. Will test fit the new bumper hopefully tomorrow. TPMS sensors installed in the BMW wheel & the 73 Camaro wheels which also got 275/40/17 tires on all 4.

Looks great! If you happen to need a new drl harness make sure to go by the tag number & check what bulb number is on the back of the drl housings. There was a revision somewhere around 2012 & they changed.

In case anyone else didn't mention it... you should start a members journal!

Mr Monte · 02-23-2024, 10:25 AM

The wiring harness in front is complete, Cushing behind the bumper is not damaged.

Will have to look into the members journal.

Yesterday I had a Mobil tire guy replace tires on 4 of my vehicles. Was quite the show for my neighbors. I keep them entertained. LOL

I buffed out the carbon fiber hood today.

Previous owner painted many things green. I am green free now. The strut tower brace & engine cover were the last 2 green items.

0stones0 · 02-25-2024, 04:34 PM

Turning out to be a nice keeper.

bsn · 02-25-2024, 04:50 PM

The green paint explains why it was salvaged!

Nice! Green free is much better!
