Stranger Things 2 1979 Camaro Build. Need tips.

Cool idea. If you have it done in time, you could dress up as a character from the show for Halloween! Then drive around and see who notices.

Whatever inspires you to work on the car is great. Everyone has their own idea of cool... my wife doesn't like my paint choices for my 73, but that's ok, she doesn't have to drive it!

You're the one driving it, build it how you want it... if someone else doesn't like it, they can go drive off in their Hyundai.

True! I look similar to Dacre Montgomery. I have a jean jacket, jeans, the right hairstyle, a necklace, just need some shoes and an ear piercing and i will look straight 80's. I could grow a mullet if i want to haha!

They almost cloned a 1979 z28 - did the hard part side gills in the quarter panels.
Missed: blacking out the window trim, blacking out the headlight bezels, No Z28 hood scoop, No Z28 badge on the front grill but looks like the rear 1year only badge on the fuel door is there. Missing the Z28 decals, missing the minor blacked out areas of the rear tail lenses. Might not be the ticker rope steering wheel. Rims, dual exhaust, front and rear spoiler are cool - I like what they did!!!

Thanks for the pointers, i'll be replicating the car fairly accurately. I personally like the look of a z28 without the hood scoop.

I did this to my car a few months back. Just put my stock wheels back on. lol. I do think the car in the show is a Z28, just with the wrong hood.

Can't see your pic.....

It has the rope steering wheel as well. You can see it in one of the scenes when he is driving...so it may be a Z28 with a standard hood given it also has the gills and front fender flares. It is hard to tell but in the photo from the rear it looks like the blue Z28 emblem is on the rear gas tank cover although not on the front grill......no way to know for sure without the VIN though!

Did you ever get your car? I just picked up a 79 z28 and was planning on going the same route.

I have a friend of mine who cloned a Z-28 from a "bowtie" car ,He had my 1979 Z-28 RS ca reference, My attitude is its your car do what you want with it.As long as you don`t try to pass it off as one if you sell it ,Because you can tell it by the VIN. And this is much modified Z

Are you sure that is a ‘79 and a real Z28. You are missing the front spoiler pieces. ‘78 didn’t have them, ‘79 did.

The spoiler just isn't on the car. You can't see in the picture but the mounting holes are there.
