Beretta Z28
Re: Beretta Z28
Some people might not see it...... But I call this making progress.
The rear suspension is now free to travel with out interruptions from that pesky body. One step closer to actually driving this beast.

!!!!!!For the 1st time in 6 years!!!!!!! The Z28 beretta has driven under it's own power out of the garage !!!!!!!
This is the only Z28 Chevy Beretta in existence. powered by a built 5.7 LT1 and that's right!!!! Rear wheel drive !!!!!!

Re: Beretta Z28
Nice work! I have GOT to get some focus back to my Teal Indy (hey, I looked at it today
) -too many V-8 Berettas actually being built now for mine to stay sitting still (again). Really inspiring, how you've made the vision of your car, then gone so far to making your car into that vision. Bravo.
Long before the Berettas appeared, of course.


There was however a Carcraft article back in the day, where they made a Camaro Z-26...jjanke wrote:This is the only Z28 Chevy Beretta in existence.

Re: Beretta Z28
Big steps man! I'm interested to see how the wide body comes out.
91 "SS" - WOT 3400/5spd - 13.29@101.6 - World's fastest N/A FWD Beretta
96 "T56" LS/6spd/8.8 RWD swap - 13.45@104.7 lol

Re: Beretta Z28
That will be very wide body.. Maybe should have cut the body half from the middle and extend the whole car sideways

Re: Beretta Z28
I think a 90's Buick Roadmaster windshield would have been an option, bigger issue would be that compound curved rear glass!Rettax3 wrote:weba wrote:That will be very wide body..

What to do with the windshield though???
Re: Beretta Z28
There would still be a ton of work widening the center ....splitting the front bumper, grille, roof, trunk lid , taillights, or outside ot the taillights on quarters, and rear facia. Trust me ....I've thought about it and decided this was most effective and was the look i was after.

Re: Beretta Z28
Yeeesss! Awesome video. Not only can the car be driven, but the driver can drive! Nice work. Don't quit now, you need that thing out on the streets and looking like it left the factory that way, take out a Ford Mud-stain for us.

Re: Beretta Z28
Finally got around to wiring this line lock solenoid for the front brakes that came with the abs delete kit. Not sure how much use it will see. But could make for some fun easy burnouts. And was even able to re use the old switch panel I made back in the day.
