No no... Just sell the hatch and use the money for wheels

I actually thought about it before and no it's not possible to do it without a lot of custom work.

[9302z28SS]

Yeah true. I'm thinking of trying something with just the wing somehow. Then maybe foam the gap between the spoiler and hatch
Then fiberglass it then drill mounting holes into the hatch and mount it.

Of course I'd buy a project hatch to do this lol.

Well here's somewhat of an update

I tried to start the car today to pull it into the garage to pull the opti. Well, I started it it was knocking all over the place due to spark retard.
Then just died, tried to start it again and it would turn free. Crank real slow then backfire out of the intake.

So I pushed it by hand into the garage. By myself. And took the intake elbow and cold air off. Tried to start it again.
It shot 6 foot of fire out of the intake.

So I ripped it all apart including the opti. That thing had an inch thick of grease and dirt on the cap alone.
Every connection was gunked up, the rotor button was the same.

Every one of the metal plates had bad bad rust on them on the inside of the opti.

So I wire wheeled it all cleaned everything and put the opti back in. Hit the key and it started right up I gave it
A few wide open hits and no sputter or drag, put my crank pulpy back on and belt did it again still running great.

So it just goes to show. Sometimes your opti isn't ready to die just yet. It just needs alittle crust taken off the top.

alittle update

after fixing the opti and putting everything together again

I did alittle custom fab work. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Looks alright but I'm just not a fan of the billet grilles... they never fit right or look right. I think it looks good in the headlight pockets but the part over the grille looks like it's sticking out too far and the bars don't look even (which is my complaint about billet grilles in general, not your work specifically)

[9302z28SS]

Yeah it does stick out alittle. I still have some fitting and shapping to do. But ill be cleaning it up alot soon

[BP_Z28]

I like the idea, but just seems completely out of place on a Camaro IMO

I happen to like mesh grills a bit more on LT1's.

[9302z28SS]

Yeah me too. But I couldn't find one so I just made this out of a few scrap grills I had from a 88 Silverado

[9302z28SS]

just alittle camera whoring
