Does anyone have an accurate parts list for the C6 convertible widebody conversion. I'm not sure what can be reused, and what needs to be purchased. I'd like to have everything I'll need here before I start. So far, I have the Z06 front bumper (nothing at all on it ie: grill etc.)
I have the Z06 front fenders ordered (panels only)
I have the Z06 rear convertible quarters ordered (panels only)
Thanks for any help.

 

return all your stuff and buy it all from Gene Culley. He has the best prices on OEM parts. I have an account setup at my local GM dealer and Gene's shipped price is still cheaper than I can get it locally.

Ive had good experiences with these guys.

 

Gene's price is the best and I looked everywhere. No local dealer was even close. And he supplies great expertise and support.

I can't speak personally about the quality of the aftermarket rear fender panels, but there have been enough posts about poor fitting panels that I went with the OEM's. The modification is fairly simple for a competent shop and added only a small amount of $$ to the price of the paint job.

Also, my insurance company had no "issue" with OEM parts, modified or not, instead of aftermarket.

Aftermarket wheels they could understand. Go figure.

 

Please, no more plugs for Gene Culley. I know he is a great vendor on this site, and I intend to buy everything I now need from him. Just trying to determine what my needs are, based on the experience of members who have gone through the process. As my post says, looking for a list. That's all.

 

LOL... thanks guys for the plugs.

I believe we've spoken through email and I let you know that I have a full conversion list, with all of the needed pieces. I have sold a couple of hundred complete widebody setups, and I have adjusted the list until it was complete and there were no more complaints.

Really all you need to do is provide your credit card number and I'll take care of all of your worries.

 

Or check with WCC, they have the kit and the fenders are already modified for the "vert".....that way, all you have to do is paint and install....pricing wasn't bad either for the kit (mine will be here thursday for my vert) ...good luck! show pics when you're done.

 

I just sent you an email. If you respond, I will reply with the entire list of parts needed.

Ed

 

Check out this old post of mine....I think it will give you what you are looking for.

Charley: As I recall, you swapped out your front inner wheelhouses with Z06 wheelhouses. Are there any "gotchas" with mounting standard C6 parts to these wheelhouses? For example, battery tray mounts or other parts.

 

Charley,

Thank you very much. A complete list with GM part #'s is what I've been looking for. Again, thank you for taking the time to send this out.

 

Thats ALL! Call Gene!

 

I actually didn't change the inner wheel wells. I was concerned that I would not be able to get the headlights to line up correctly again. I trimmed the existing inner fenders and then fabricated extensions to meet up with the new outer fenders.

Charley

 

I'm happy to help. Send me an IM if you have any questions. Here are a couple of pictures to let you know what you are in for. It is a lot of fun.

Charley

 

Charley is a big help and always chimes in for the widebody questions. Now that is a devoted forum member!

The OP ordered from me and we have his order processing, so thanks to the OP and all the referrals.

 

Gene you know who you will be getting a call about the front one in no due time!!!

My only question is do I REALLY need the front inner well liners or not? I want to do this 100% factory looking inside out! I know Gene personally and am proud to call him an actual friend of mine besides doing business with him for numerous years. I know his kit is complete regardless of what I hear that there are 30 more parts needed to make the kit complete etc. I just need to know if I need the front inner wheel well liners or not?

 

Thanks everyone. Gene Culley got the order. Most parts have already arrived.

 

It's your call. I am very extreme in wanting my projects done correctly. But, When I modified my car I decided not to change the inner liner at the advice of a friend that works in one of the best bodyshops in SoCal. By changing the inner liner you are potentially opening a can of worms. It is a bonded on part (black part in the picture below) that locates the headlight and also the interface between the outer fender and the bumper. There is no way to ensure that you have the new part in the correct place....It was too large of a risk for me. I fabricated an extension to fill the gap.

Charley

 

Charley thanks for the input. GM certified bodyshop will be doing this project. They just did a totalled Z06 in the front replacing everything including the inner liners and the quality was unbelievable.

I am 100% sure that GM bodyshop can't do custom stuff like Mike in the above post posted. Any close up pictures of extensions you speak of?
