Jasonmreiss Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 My original plan was to do the corvette tail light mod. However I kinda want something that hasn't really been done before. I thought maybe the newer corvette oval lights. Then I saw the new camero lights. Has anyone done any other conversion besides the corvette mod? And I know there's a lot of people that say converting is sacralige, but I like it so be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeeboost Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) This little project Z has cutouts for similar tail lights: http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/bar/3339505066.html Edited November 3, 2012 by zeeboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmreiss Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I dunno, I kinda prefer the oval corvette lights. I've never seen a z with them. I just have to find a way to do it all with sheet metal. I don't want to bond fiberglass. Even the flares I'll be using will be fabricated from steel. I have a metal guy that's pretty good. Should be able to figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurphyEF Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 bah, go with the old school camaro lights. Not the late 60's, but the early 70's with the waterdrop in the middle..(thats my plan, at least, as soon as I get a welder and can make a new rear panel.

GOTHALOSISM Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I like the idea of the new camaro lights, if you can find a pair and see if the size is correct for the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erins.ZCar Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Like the idea of the newer Camaro lights as well. My first love was to install a set of 65-66 Mustang lights so I started by buying a set a reprod tail lights and then created a template out of foam insulation. Test fitted the lights and they look great, see pics. Now I have a friend with a metal shop cutting a 16 gauge replacement panel with his plasma system. I had him not cut the tail light holes out so we can use the original as a template. Might consider selling the blank replacement panel so anyone can install any lights you want. What do you think? Cost would be around $80-$90 per panel plus shipping. Easier for my friend to cut five panels at a time out of one sheet of metal.

Jasonmreiss Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 That looks sick. Momma said no to the camero lights though, she likes the oval vette lights better. So I think that's what I'll go with, they're off the c5 I think but not sure what years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think that's what I'll go with, they're off the c5 I think but not sure what years Thanks, work in progress! My daughter's 16th birthday present. Yes, she picked it out and requested the Mustang tail lights. ZForce sells a fiberglass replacement panel that will fit any 4-4.5" round lights. That means it should take anything from a 68 Stingray Bubble lights to 76 I think it is? C4 or C5 models? Whatever you choose to do, give it your own little twist! Makes it kinda of special even if inspired by someone else's mod! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
