I totalled my 2000 SS and i want to buy the car back from insurance. The motor and tranny is all good. Just the body is badly damaged. I found a 1972 Camaro split bumper rolling body for $1500 with interior and no motor or tranny. I was wondering is it too much of a job to convert it or what? My brother can paint the car and all i pay is for paint no labor. My plan is Hugger Orange with black stripes ( SF Giants fan ) with black Z06 rims. What yall think? Any advice, input, comments are totally welcomed.. Thanks guys

Do it !!!!! You won't regret it .

 

do it. Check out my homepage for some info

 

Make sure to keep all your emmisions equipment from the wrecked car. It should pass without issues.

Thanks guys.. Im just waiting for insurance to tell me how much my old SS would cost.
Schitzo - Thanks.. looking at your page made me want to do it so much more. Quick question, If the car had a vinyl top can i sand it down to make it look like its never been there? Like a regular hard top?

 

I'd be interested to find out what they charge you to buy the car back.

Just curious.

P.S. Do the swap

 

Yup, rip off your top , get out your grinder, DA sander and air file and get to work. My 1st gen used to be a vinyl top car.....

 

kwkenuf- thanks thats wat i wanted to hear.
1st and goal - Ill PM you wat the insurance says. Hopefully tomorrow ill know.

 

I say do it, the 72 will always be worth more than a modded 4th gen anyways.

 

DO IT DO IT!! No regrets!

 

do it .......GO Niners! ...if you need any help im local

 

x-pauliber - All i can say is WOW.. that is beautiful!! exactly wat i want but black stripes. And your interior is what i wanted too but instead of your white i'd put black.. Please if you have more PM me the pics.. BEAUTIFUL CAR!!
gEtyOPaPiOn - I wish i can do it myself but my shop is gonna swap it for me.. I dont have the tools to do it. I wish i did.. I appreciate the offer.. And oh yea, OAKLAND is the home of the sideshows.. Ya'll remember that.. LOL
