Nice lookin car. Nice clean interior also. I really hate criticizing,but I'd have to agree with the others on the foglights. But as always, IMHO. Good job on the 91-92 style mods.

I appreciate everyone's comments, it took a lot of work time and sweat to get her where she is today. I didn't like the fog lights when I first put them on, it kind of grew on me though and gave it a unique kind of factory look since the fog lights are factory. I havent seen any aftermarket fog lights that I particularily like, if anything i'll switch to IROC fog lights, but for now I like what I have. I had also thought long and hard about using a 4th gen interior, (dash, console, door panels etc.) but decided the swap is not very original, and I really do like my near mint 3rd gen interior. Don't get me wrong, I really do like the look of the 4th gen swap especially fatal's car! that is awesome man! but I just cant get myself to give up my current interior. Everyone keep up the good work on your cars! i've seen a lot of nice F-bodies on this site, it makes me proud to own one!

i love it. nice, clean, and stock. the only thing that i see wrong with it is the tail lights. just the amber light. ever think of doin the "red tail light mod" would really look nice. unless u like the amber then dont listen to what i say. but again nice Z

Yep, the steering wheel is from a Lumina Z34 (before they made the monte Z34) its the same as the Lumina Euro steering wheel but this one has a red bowtie instead of a silver one. almost every other lumina wheel i've seen has the silver bowtie. I think the red bowtie compliments the red Z28 emblems well. The steering wheels in the Lumina APV and Cavalier are slightly different. A little different design and the Cavalier wheel is smaller I think. The front seats are from a 94 Beratta Z26, the rear are stock camaro, but they've all been recovered to match. I think that Beretta Indys and GTZs had the same seats.
Heres a shot from the front end. The smooth hood is only temporary until I get the ASCD SS hood, the stock Z28 hood was the composite type and it had separated and came off the car, I see this was a recall but I like the SS hood better anyways.
Sorry the pic is kinda dark, i think the batteries in the camera are dying
