Love this series, only thing I can comment on so far is to try and stay away from car washes because they can damage your paint. Those brushes clean up a lot of dirt daily and it can scratch your paint
I have the same car with a couple minor differences. Z28, same year, same color and also an auto :( Nice to see someone giving some tlc to an old fbody, hard to beat the value of these old lt1's. You motivate me to give mine the attention it deserves. I'll be tuning in, keep up the good work man!
I bought one of these cars a while back and like it. I remember in the 90s riding in a friend's 95 Corvette and he punched into it and that thing left pretty hard.
I got a recommendation for the paint. You can sant the rough spots smooth then take a try at wrapping the car. That’s my plan for my car but you may still want paint
Nice ride :D Here's my 2 bits for the rear window trim! I've got a '95 Z28 and I replaced the windshield shortly after I bought it. While there at the shop, I asked one of the workers about the back trim around the hatch glass, because mine looks a lot like yours did...and he basically told me that I could rip it completely off and be perfectly fine. He actually recommended doing that instead of replacing it because he didn't think the cost of the new trim would be worth it. So...I'm gonna live with mine for a while longer and then probably just rip it out. Depending on what your experience is like with that universal stuff, I may decide to copy you and put it on mine since it might look a little too odd without any kind of trim there around the window. Also! If you ever decide to upgrade the sealed/stock halogen headlights to some HID or Xenon bulbs or something better than what GM put on, please let us know because I'd be very interested in a video of the process! As it seems right now, I *think* the only hope I'd have to try to do that is to buy something like this kit and then change the bulbs out to the Xenon/HID/whatever other ones...but since it says on this listing that it's "only intended for Halogen or Incandescent bulbs" then it probably wouldn't work :\ www.ebay.com/itm/Euro-Crystal-Clear-Headlight-Wiring-Bulbs-For-1993-1997-Chevy-Chevrolet-Camaro/312228072686 (They also offer only low beams for $65 instead of low and high, but it just seems weird to me to have halogen high beams and then these improved ones for the lows...) (Also also, I notice you're in Utah. Are you part of the UFBA?)
@@SamaritanElad Ouch :( that stuff you may need to get from a dealer...or maybe an aftermarket place like Classic Industries. Worst case scenario, you could maybe hit up a body shop and see if they have any contacts that might be able to hook you up!
Looks good but the upper part glass trim deflects water in to the channel to drain out the back so I just wonder how well that will work. On my 95 camaro the trim has shinked so one side is short but so far they haven’t broken.
Great vids! I'm really pleased you put this online. Thanks very much. I'm in the UK considering a left hand drive car to do a 2000 mile trip to Europe. The 4th Gen Camaro is looking like an option 👍
Just FYI, you can order the window molding from hawks thirdgen. But I have to say, your's turned out to be pretty good. Please let me know how it's holding up, because I need to do this on my Trans Am as well. But It wouldn't be looking to bad without any molding at all. Love the camaros, I'm building my motor right now :)
@@ReynoldsRides Hi I just checked their website but apparently it's not listed anymore. I ordered one last year, and it's still sitting in a cardboard box next to my car in the garage. Might wanna e-mail them and ask for the molding. Maybe I can find out the part number as well in the meantime.
I had a 93 Z that looks exactly the same as the one you have. I'm so saddened that i got rid of it. I miss my baby. Time is a thief. It takes everything from us eventually.

That window molding looks really uneven on the hatch glass, and I have serious concerns about its ability to seal out water. The window switch replacement looked great though.
I probably misspoke. I’m not entirely sure if the molding I removed was functional as it relates to water. The more I think about it, the more I think it was just a molding/trim piece (the rear hatch has a weatherstrip for water). Regardless, I’m not any worse off because the molding I removed wasn’t doing anything in the condition it was in.
I can't wait to start working on my 1995, I'm looking to replace or the weatherstripping and seals and all the rubbers if anyone knows where I can find them online please let me know i got a hardtop, and I'm planning on installing a sound insulation all over the interior

Smaller projects like these go a long way in making the car nicer to drive day to day. Loving this car project!

nice job it's all in the details
@5:00 - Nice job with the rear window trim, looks better with the work you did.

Agreed but the paint on this car is not in the best shape so I don’t worry about it.

In the south, should have let the trim be, for water.
Wow, you might own the only 4th gen with unbroken rear glass trim and the window switch panel firmly affixed in the factory location. Nice work!
oh cool! you went to a quick quack car wash!
Looks good to me I might do this on my c4 rear window seal
I like the trim
Thanks for the Video... I Subscribed! Cheers

Yep, I see this ones paint is doing exactly like mine.. damn.. Still nice tho
How I put the window belt moulding back on? Hellllp!!!! There's gotta be a trick. It won't snap.
hey boss what optispark are you using, im having trouble with my 96. Dont know if its the opti or an exhaust leak
I’m not sure what kind it has. I haven’t had to touch it yet.🤞
