I put all of the body panels on the truck a month or two ago and kind of pushed it to the side as I have been busy with my other baby, my 1970 Camaro Z-28/RS. This Camaro spent a lot of it's life on the dragstrip and when we purchased it it had the wrong interior in it. I have been restoring the interior and putting it back to what it would have looked like from the factory. Still got some things to do on the dash but from there back it's pretty well done. Here's a few pics of the car. It's a true Z-28/RS car. The car came from the factory with the 360 hp LT-1 motor (not the motor currently in the car but I do have the original numbers matching block for the car). The car still has it's original paint and is not perfect but it's still a fun car.

Here's a few pics of the 383 we're building for the truck and what the truck looks like with all of the body panels on it.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of the plastic bumper era of Camaros. To me, they just didn't look as good after 1973.
