Hello from Tennessee!!

Hey everybody, new member here from Scott county Tennessee! I just got my 94 Z28. I traded my 99 wrangler for it even. The car has the LT1, 6-speed tranny, and is a blast to drive. Ive always wanted a sports car and when I seen this one I had to have it. The car needs a lil work tho. Its a convertible, and the top needs replaced, I need to get my seats redone, and my hood, door and fender have minor damage to them. But considering Im a gear head anyway, this car will be changing alot from the way it looks now!

Im hoping to learn some stuff from all of you, and do some unique mods to the car also! Im a member of the R6-Forum as well as here. Ive learned alot over there about my bike and things I can do to it and great track day tips as well! Im sure this forum will be just as helpful with my car as the other is with my bike! I look forward to learning from you guys!

Ill post up some pics of my car and R6 tomorrow once I figure out how to do it lol. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jon..

Re: Hello from Tennessee!!

Welcome-

There are many places that do replacement tops, as far as seats you have a couple options. Some have just opted for newer seats from someone parting out their car or just got new covers for them.

There is plenty to learn and many people here have plenty to offer...welcome again and enjoy your car.

Re: Hello from Tennessee!!

Thanks man, I seen some tops on Tops4less? But now that Im a member here I think Ill have a look around to see what I can find on here, and maybe help another forum member out as well. I found a guy on craigslist that was parting out a 99, the seats were grey and black cloth for $100 for front and rear. Whoever had the car before me put 20" Fondmetal wheels on it, and thats not really my thing lol. They dont look bad, but they rub and IMO 20's are just too big for a camaro. I would like to find the C6 Corvette wheels for it, or maybe some 18 inch black rims with chrome lip. My car is white so I think that would really set it off. Thanks for the info again! And any advice is much appreciated!

OH, I also just seen the mod you done with the 88-98 CK truck headlights. I think that looks sick!!!! I think that may be the first mod I do once I get my top! That mod looks really clean and very tasteful IMO.

Re: Hello from Tennessee!!

17s are best for 4th gens IMO, and leatherseats.com seems to do the best replacement leather seats of the mass-produced style type. Just my opinion based on pictures only though.

Re: Hello from Tennessee!!

Im about 3 hours northeast of Nashville. Scott County is at the very top of Tennessee, if you look at a map of Tennessee you cant miss it.

Tks- it took a lot of time to get it all figured out. If you decide to tackle it give me a holler- I can walk you thru any problems or questions you might have..
