callaway c8
Hi Big John
I'm converting my 2002 to a c8 body
I was wondering if you could give me a call. I have some questions about it. 401 447-1673.
Thanks Mike

Re: callaway c8
This should be cool. Can you take a progress picture of what the car looks like with the Callaway rear bumper on, but with the stock Camaro front bumper?

Re: callaway c8
Hi everyone I have been making progress on the C8 conversion. I will try to attach pictures. The car is prepped, and the parts are being painted except for the rear bumper. I am waiting for that part to come in. I hope to start reassembling this weekend. I will also try to post pics of that as well.

Re: callaway c8
Awesome. Are you going to stick with the stock light pewter metallic paint or are you going to custom paint it? Any other Callaway modifications or just the CamAerobody?

Hello The coloris going to stay the same, but the front grill is going to be black to match the roof. Also a set of black wheels. Powergroup 3 is possible inthe near future.

Re: callaway c8
Fantastic!
I never paid too much attention to how similar the C16 nose cone is to that of the C8... (I see the heritage)
Are you keeping the original paint color?

Painting the grill black should look really nice.

Re: callaway c8
This is the first time I've seen a CamAerobody install in progress. Keep it up! Loving the pics!

Re: callaway c8
I just realized I have some questions.
Does the CamAerobody come with installation instructions? Can you take some pics/scans if so?
What keeps the front fenders from flapping around? You've cut the "do not jack here" fender mounts off at the bottom of the stock Camaro fender, so I'm wondering if it just flaps around now.

Re: callaway c8
Hello The kit comes with some incredibly vague instructions. There is a lot of room for imagination and guess work. The folks at Callaway are very helpful. The newn gill panel bolts to the cut fender and wraps around the rocker panel and fastens to the underside of the car very securely, and you still have access to the jacking points. I am attatching some more pictures. It is complete except for the rear bumper which I am still waiting for from Callaway.

Re: callaway c8
It's looking really good. Can you take a full-body shot of the car from the side? You've cut the stock rear bumper out of all the pics. I'm curious what it looks like.

Hello
I still don't have the rear bumper yet. When I get it I will post more progress pictures and then the final pics when it is painted and installed
Thanks Mike

Re: callaway c8
I'd like to see a pic of the car with the Camaro rear bumper still on the car if you'll take one from the side.
Sorry I wasn't clearer the first time.

Re: callaway c8
Looks really good. Bet you have the most unique Camaro in your entire town now
That dent in your driver's side rear quarter could be removed by a paintless dent repair specialist for not very much money, time, or effort. You'll just need to be careful not to lean on the car there and re-dent it. I had a similar one on our '95 Z28, and I leaned on it, and sure enough it came back Guy re-removed it for free.
