Cody's Camaro Body Restoration

First off I'd like to say thanks for watching, and I would also like to say that I did this all by myself at age 19... Enjoy... 1992 25th Anniversary Z28 Camaro Body Restoration.... Did it myself with no real body work training for under $1,000. I am very pleased with the product. Painted in an open shop without a paint booth.

how do u remove the rear bumper frm the rear quarter pannels? i have all the plastic tabs removed but its attached to the quarters and idk how to remove it

[camaroman1992]

@2p1s3i If I remember right you remove the plastic panels inside the back of the car and there are 4 bolts that come through from the rear on each side. They are on a special strip so don't worry about finding the bolts on the other side of the bumper, just remove the nuts and the bumper should come off.

Can you work on mine i need front bumper and some cracks done

[yootoob04]

Good luck. Intact junkyard camaro = unicorn. Wish thirdgens came with a performance motor and trans paired up. The 350 coming with the 700r4 was fucking stupid. (Thats the auto trans, for the retards)

ideally i'd like to just find a wrecked 98-02 with the LS1 and the T56 that way i'd have all the wiring and the computer too and i wouldn't have to look for all the little stuff

[camaroman1992]

haha yeah an LS9 would be great but like you said that requires wads of cash lol... but for now im going to rebuild the factory 305 and put a set of heads on it and maybe a few minor mods and put a short throw shifter in since its a 5 speed... wat i would like to do is take an LS1 and bore it out .030 and put a stroker crank in it and of course CNC machined heads and what not with a T56 backing it and 3.42 gears (6 Speed for the retards lol)

[yootoob04]

Excellent job man. I have a 92 RS with a few touch ups myself. Say, what is your motor plans? I'm kinda torn between a ZZ383 and a LS1. Wish I had wads so I can put a LS9 in her lmao. (Thats the motor the 2010 ZR1 Vette has, for the retards.)

Just a Helpful hint i had a friend holding the ground effects while i was drilling and it seemed to help a lot. Any other Questions let me know.

[camaroman1992]

didn't replace any of the body pieces on the car since it was a low budget project. I fixed the front with some light sheet metal behind it on the totally broken corner. I drilled holes in it on each side of the break and then i counter sunk them. I put pop-rivets in from the front into the metal on the back to hold it and then ground the tops down to make it so i could hide them with body filler. I sanded the filler down smooth and then filled in any other low spots.

you did a amazing job on your car i do have a question for you did u have to replace the lower ground effects on the front and if not how hard was it to fix i have the same car you got even the same color but my fx are all battered and missing paint
