Default New in Iowa

A little about me,name is Andy, Im 41, wife, 3 kids (2 of them have graduated). I have been around Camaros all my life, have owned a 69, 77 LT, 89 RS and currently have a 71 Z that needs restored. Decided I wanted to get something I could enjoy now til the 71 is done so took a small trip last week to Chicago and bought a 98Z. Its blue, cloth, t-tops, minor mods, heads, ls6 intake and exhaust. Only flaws are 4 of the 6 speakers dont work and I have 3 holes in each quarterpanel and the top of the spoiler from where the original owner attached some crazy spoiler on top of the original one. Other than that really great car, cant wait to start adding all my own touches to it. Once I figure out how to post pics, i will.

Welcome to tech, fellow Iowan

As far as the spoiler goes, there's some decent options for aftermarket, or picking up a stocker on here in the classifieds will be a sinch.

Not sure how familiar you are with the vendors on here, but for a lot of body/exterior parts, 6LE is the man.

As far as the '71 goes, you should probably spend some time in the hybrid/conversion section. Get yourself a nice 6.0L or LS motor in there
