I swear camaros and squares are like peanut and jelly sandwiches. They just go together. Hang on to your car. I will never get rid of my 2000 Z28. Fingers crossed for a 10 second timeslip with a T56.

PB&J for sure lol. Been there with my 99 Z28 LS1 6 speed white on white. Put on a set of the 93-97 rollers and tails to really mess with kids on the highway who thought they wanted to run what they thought was an LT1 lol. Had a mild tune and some slight work done by a local LS1 guru here in Mass. Was running high 10's low 11's regularly.

Squares & F bodies have been my life. '72, '74 Z28, '78, '80 Z28 & '95 Z28 Convertible are the F's here on the farm. I'm not even starting to count & label the Squares...

Sweet! Yep Chevy trucks and Camaros are PB&J baby. I have always wanted a Camaro, any generation would be great. I have many fond memories from time spent with my cousin on two lane country roads in SC in his 83 Z. So fun!

A guy in my neighborhood has a beautiful 78, maybe 79 Camaro and I have never actually talked to him. He lives right down the street and around the corner. My house is on the main thoroughfare so he has driven past us many a time while my son and I are in the front yard with jaws dropped. Sometimes when we walk the dogs he will pull out of his driveway. He recognizes me, I just need to find a way to bump in to him and say "Hey, I love your Camaro, tell me about it, and can I get a pic of your Camaro beside my Truck?!!". Lol

My neighbors looks like this one except it is a really pretty metallic green.

This is the wiring harness that is in the car. I didn't buy it. It was there from the previous owner and never fully installed.

No problem at all. I haven't seen a replacement windshield in years with the antenna actually in there. I just assumed it was older.

This thing is truly a pile that we are working back in to a track car and possibly on the street at some point. No offense taken to anything on this thing. I bought it right knowing that it was pieced together.
Our windshield's have the antenna in them, just FYI if you ever need one
