Brought her home finally.
Well, I acquired my 1999 Z28 from my dad several months ago. but my wife made me keep it at my folks for a few months until the wedding was finished, paid for and over-so I wouldn't be tempted to mod it and take away from the wedding purchases-she knows me too well.
Anyways, went and picked her up today and brought her to the house. This is a bad pic from when I originally got it back several months ago.
Plan on cleaning her up and installing the SLP airlid in the morning and taking some better pics. But you get the idea. Nothing special here, just a 99 with 50K on the odometer-NBM-completely stock as can be.
Still keeping the truck, but will be remaining mostly like it sits for now. I have plans for the camaro. Will also be DDing the Camaro for a while, it gets much better mileage than the truck.

Haha, she ain't even close to ready yet. I got out there this morning and swapped out the stock air intake, with an SLP unit, new air filter and did the free ram air mod to it. Just to show how stock it is, it still had the Original paper air filter from 1999 in it. The intake path was littered with bug guts from Brenham so I cleaned the intake path real good, cleaned out the MAF and the throttle body. Should help some. I also took off the original Ron Craft Chevrolet dealer emblem off the taillight panel and the ron craft decal in the front windshield. I wanna do the TB by-pass soon, and start looking for a set of plugs and wires and a ported TB.
Still debating on what exhaust to go with. I really like the sound of the SLP loudmouth on my truck, but not sure about the car. I kinda want to do a Mufflex 3.5" system, but wanna do a magnaflow race muffler with a single hideaway exit. Exhaust will hopefully come in the next few weeks, I've already talked to Manuel at affordable muffler about it. And I've got to get the window tint re-done soon, the stuff thats on there is in good shape, just faded like hell.
After those few things I'll probably be done for a little while.
I'll have to swing by Charlies and get him to work some Magic on it too
