I feel like one of the senior crowd too, born 33 years before oldman!

I pulled the rest of the seats and carpeting from my 77 yesterday. Next I get to replace the rusted rear passenger side floor pan and hopefully only some small sheet metal pieces for the front passenger floor and driver's side toe area.

Nice ride Cam. Very clean!

I'd say it's more than pretty good! I ran low 12's with my 427 for many years, and only broke into the high 11's a few times. Most people don't realise how hard it is to get a 3500 lb. Camaro into the 12 sec. range; especially one that's a daily driver!

OH Come now, it is easy to get any car into the 9's... Drop it from a plane and it will go at least that fast...Once.
