OP, this turned out pretty good with that ZL1 frontend, congratulations. Does everything work, no engine problems, weird electrical issues or anything?

I bought a 2018 ZL1 body harness after finding that the part of the harness I needed was very similar and would work by adding only 1 terminal and removing the ones I didn’t need (mag ride, for example). I spent a lot of time studying the service manual before reconnecting any wires as several are the same color and size. Used a continuity tester and traced them until I was 100% sure before connecting them. I then spliced the harness by soldering and using heat shrink insulation on each wire. It turned out pretty clean. Re-wrapped the harness using the same harness tape and it looks OEM. Last edited by Sephx1; 02-13-2022 at 01:59 PM. |

Very nice, I wish I had the talent to do all this and build my own car. I'm in my first year studying auto tech, hoping to be ASE certified in a couple years.

I'm pretty happy with what I got in the end and plan on keeping it a long time. I have been watching Camaros on Copart since this purchase and I don't think getting them at the price I did was the norm. Burn vehicles probably scare off a lot of buyers. There's another SS similar to mine with front end crash damage being auctioned off in Denver tomorrow on Copart if anyone's interested in watching. You have to view the live auction, as auction results are not posted. I won't be bidding on another car for a while. This one took a lot of my time. |

I just realized this weekend looking at some ZL1’s at a car show that the front auxiliary radiator ducts are not the same, even though some GM part sites show that they are. I’m going to be getting back in there to swap mine out. Also there are protective screens in front of the radiator to protect them, my SS did not have them. Here are the part numbers for the ducts and screens:
ZL1 LH aux rad front duct 84173318 ZL1 RH aux rad front duct 84173319 ZL1 radiator screens 2 required 84186093 |

That’s sick! I definitely would have strayed away from it due to the burn damage but mainly because I would have thought the engine was done for. For the end price I’d say it was worth, can barely find a decent SS for under $22k with excessive body damages off auction these days
