Wide Body Conversion Info
I've read a few posts in the past about wide body (ZO6) conversions, I love the look of the Z but I can't see spending on a new Z specially with the economy as it is.
So the question to any that have converted: Where is the best place to get the body parts, and the wheels.
Thanks

Most seem to have got the panels from Gene Culley.
Also if you do a search there was someone who posted all the parts and part #'s if I remember correctly.
Good luck with the conversion. I think they look great.
Of couse some will give you grief for not getting a "real" ZO6.

Call Gene Culley at http://gmpartshouse.com/ for the body parts. Best price, great service, and genuine GM parts. Fits perfectly.
Ask 10 people about wheels and you will get 10 different answers.
My answer is CCW. http://www.ccwheel.com/files/home.php
Again great wheels and great service.

That is the icon for lurking and listening, meaning I want to know too......
If you have a coupe, Gene Culley has the best deals that I have seen. Caravaggio makes plug and play rear quarters for Verts. I found Z06 OEM wheels in the parts for sale section of the forum.

You can also get Caravaggio fenders for the front for about half what the GM ones cost but you have to do some fitting first. That's what I did. It'll cost you around 10-12k and more if you want expensive wheels or complete paint job. I love mine, glad I did it.
