I just bought my second third gen camaro. this time convertible. The lower portion of my deck lid is rusted, bad. where can you get a replacement lid or is it better to try and not out the rust?

 

i would say a junk yard but i know you'd probably never find a vert in a junk yard

try sanding it down

 

Thanks
is there ne place to find convert parts besides the top?

 

GM parts depot, napa, advance parts....umm....classic industries has quite a bit...but i got my new top from topsonline.com i'm sure they sell more than JUST full tops

 

I know of someone parting a 'vert, (no, not me!), want me to ask him how much for the trunk lid?

 

ive seen them on ebay a few times

 

There's a guy I'm getting a few other parts from, and he has one. I emailed him asking if it's still for sale and how much. With his permission, I will PM his info and price if he responds today.

 

found one for ya..

That's the guy, his name's Tom - I didn't post the link because of the 'no ebay ads' rule... it the link gets deleted, you know why!

 

thanks for all the info. i'll try napa and some of the other places listed. i'd rather see if i can get a new deck lid.

 

Napa? New deck lid? I would be very surprised if they carried it, as these cars were all made into 'verts outside GM's plant.

If you do find a trunk/deck lid new, please tell us!

 

If you need a deck lid I have one...
Lots of vert parts sitting around from my old baby...

the spoilers not on it but i also have the three piece spoiler... and lots of bs stuff

How much you want for the spoiler ?

 

What ya got and what ya want for them. I am interested in All of it!!!!!

 

Settle down, 911 - it's winter in Illinois, we get first dibsout here in Cali, we're still putting our tops down!

 

I know that Fbodymotorsports, even if they dont have a great rep here.. are creating many reproduction parts for our converts now.. so i'd check them out.

u said dibs.....

 

Yeah, that's right - dibs!

I'll be cruising over to the SC3G.ORG meeting/dinner this Saturday with my top DOWN! Which, for now, means twisting my 6'2" frame into the back seat, folding it down so I can reach under the tonneau and remove the vice grips that currently hold the convertible top pin into the hole in the tonneau cover, so that I can then get out of the car, pull up the rear of the top, so that I can manually pull each of the two little 'emergency' cables that pop the tonneau cover, so I can then release the front of the top, pull it back, stuff the whole thing down, realize I didn't fold that little part by the front of the top correctly because it doesn't all fit under the tonneau cover, do it again, then close the cover.

And I used to think t-tops were a pain to take off and store!

I have GOT to get a manual top release system set up...

Lon, what if I just bring you my car - will you get this worked out?

Are any of my fellow 'vert drivers attending the dinner tomorrow? (Sat Dec. 3rd) http://www.sc3g.org/thetrack/viewtop...er=asc&start=0

 

Gee...I can't wait to get my vert up and going so that I can do all that....

 

Ah, but not for long - I've convinced Lon to help me get together the parts I need to convert my 'vert back the the manual style release, so with a little luck it will be a simple operation to get the top up and down.

I saw how his worked at tonight's dinner, and it was easy as can me.

Man, that guy sure does know his stuff...
