My 80 Z Clone (Pic Heavy)

[J. Chris Davis]

Painted the cross bar pieces on my front parking lights since the chrome wasn't looking so good. Thought black might look good since that's the car theme anyway. Sun was shining through the window so the pictures didn't turn out that great.

Finally got the rear end apart and the axles out. Here are some pictures of that. I also ordered some longer wheel studs while I have the axles out. I didn't feel I had enough engagement length and wanted a little more. Just for my own piece of mind.

Thank you.

Great looking Camaro. I want to change my dash to the earlier rounded version as well.

 

[J. Chris Davis]

Thanks. I mulled it around for a couple of years before I did the interior and always thought the 70-78 dash looked the best in these cars. Sportier too IMO.

I had forgotten to post pictures of the leaf springs after I painted them last weekend. Here are a few pics.

Is the earlier dash a straight drop in or are there a lot of mods required?

No modification, you just need the ductwork behind the dash to match the year your swapping to. I think the metal bracing is the same

As far as I remember the metal bracing is the same. I think the lower dash with the glove box might be different. Otherwise I think it was just swap some parts over and set it in. It went pretty smooth for me.
