hey all as some of you may or may not know, my camaro had gotten totalled back in novemeber due to a piece of shit now x friend who though he could handle it and put it into a wall...well after the long tedious search i managed to find a rolling chassis at a good dead down in delaware and went down to trailer her up. shes a HEAVY EVERY Option Z28 and ya that means TTops to all those who know i love my hardtops...well ive begun the process of gutting everything i dont need and going on a major diet and also doing some nice custom cutting for the twin turbo setup im workin on and everything is coming out NICELY! gotta do some repainting of the engine bay and minor bodywork. then lastly i will be swapping my useable hardtop from the crashed camaro over on to this one and converting her to a stiffer, nicer, smoother looking hardtop car! call me crazy but i hate t tops...oh and detail on the accident...i got $2200 (after buying it back) from his insurance seeing as the last car was a "V6" which isnt nearly the amount ive had to spend on replacement parts only ($4000) then not to mention the new chassis i bought $2800....do the math and this :dick1: screwed me outta $4600...and isnt man enough to give me a dime!

anyways here are some pics... it goes 2 "before" and 2 "after" then the new one...

haha thanks...im thinking 3rd times a charm!!! everyone told me to go with a vette but i didnt want a car payment and i had a nice built drivetrain already so "knock on laptop" hopefully this car stays!

and ya the hardtop conversion is gonna go easily imalmost thru with unglueing my hardtop "shell" off the old car next is to cut the side rails and then get them welded into the t top car but like i said thats last on my list...im gonna use the t tops for like a month then ill list a T top conversion kit if anyone wants to go topless! haha

ya thats y i have appraised value insurance. it was only an extra 80 bucks a year for my car because my insurance company looks at it as just a z 28. good luck with the new one and hope you can at least part out some of it to make some cash back.

Yeah I carry a customization writer on my policy for the Camaro and one on the bike. The insurance has to reimburse me for everything I can produce a receipt for.

Nice to know, I'll have to look into that.

Chris, sorry about the car, I always thought that was a great looking Z you had.

Good luck with the new car though, I hope everything works out.

Oh, and I called you about that reared earlier. You still got it?

I should have figured that it'd be someone on here that was selling it.

ya im thinking bout goin with progressive on this one...as tons of ppl say they pay like nothing a month...might look into coverage for "customization"...

oh and hey mike haha ya i got your message sorry i didnt call back was busy earlier today. i do still have it but someone put a deposit on it till wednesday...if that falls through your next on the list ill keep you informed tho!

Sounds good, let me know.

I have Progressive too, btw. With full coverage on my Bird and my '97 Grand Cherokee, I pay 121/month. I've never had to make a claim, so I don't know how they are in that sense, but it was really easy to sign up with them initially, I did it all online.

The recent one on 290.
I remember slowing down and thinking "Ouch, that poor car". Had no idea which car it was at the time though. Just saw it had nice wheels on it...

my brother was telling me about this, what a friend takes your car without permission smashes it into a wall, and knowing how much time,money, and how much you love your car and does nothing to make it right,..that is just straight fucked up!
