Only motorcycles came with single round headlights..

67-81 Camaro head two headlights per car, 82-97 had 4 per car and then the leach looking headlights for the 98-02 and then back to 2 per car for the '10- present..

It looks just like it does in the original post. I am doing a few more things to it right now, mostly interior wise. Wife bought me a stereo for christmas, so im installing it. problem was , i didnt want to put the front speakers in the doors or kick panels, so im building a console that will house the speakers. Im in the middle of installing new sideglass. Thought id finish the glass yesterday, but i had to order a new roller for the rear guide on the pass. side. I have a set of old SSM lift bars on the way for the rear. they should be here by weeks end. Here is a pic of the progress

Great looking cars guys. Second gens deserve more respect. Glad to see they are starting to get some attention. Here's my 72' with a LS1-T56 hiding inside

Here's mine so far... It's getting a 5.3 Vortec out of a '00 Silverado with a t56, driveshaft, and rear end out an '01 NHRA edition T/A. It will also be getting a On3 Performance 76mm turbo and swapping out some of the lesser performance oriented truck parts for some better performing parts. I'm hoping for 650-ish hp. I'm ordering my engine harness and computer from PSI tomorrow sometime. Not sure on paint scheme yet...may just respray it with the same combo. We'll see.

It all sounds good except for the rear out of that TA. The 8.5 10 bolt under that car is twice the rearend you are talking about using. Just some friendly advice. 650hp will grenade the 01 7 5/8 10 bolt, but with good axles that 8.5 will live behind that turbo.

^^^ This man speaks the truth..

Well I'm not entirely sure what rear is in it. The only thing I'm certain of is that it has 4.11s. The guy I bought it from used it as a drag car, but I want to do more autoX and road racing and I want discs on the rear. I just figured swapping to the T/A rear is just as easy as doing a disc conversion and gear change. Maybe I'm wrong? I just knew the 3.42s and t56 worked well together and would work well for a turbo so why change a good thing? This is my first build like this so I'm still trying to figure everything out. It won't be getting the turbo right away. I'm hoping to get it driving by summer so I can have some fun with it then in the winter move onto the turbo swap. That way I should have no reason not to have it finished for summer and I can let my bank account recover some.
Anyways like I said this is my first build of this kind so any advice, suggestions, and help is very welcomed!

Guess I mean like in your sig. Some.2nd gens come.with the big round.headlights side by side..others have a rectangle fog/headlight beneath it

Not 100% clear on the question but i think you may be talking about the 70-73 standard frontend and the RS front for the same years. the RS has the blinkers next to the headlights, kind of giving it a quad headlight look. The standard frontend has the blinkers below the bumper. they are rectangular and turn up on the outside corners.

SierraSport

All 70-73 Standard Front ends look like this..

The only thing that change over the year was that the 70-71 grille was a finer mesh then the 72/73 grille..(above pic is a 70/71)
This is a 72/73 Grille..

In most cases the 73 also had big bumper overriders..


The other front end you see on the cars is a the Rally Sport front end.. This front end did not change from 70-73..


What you see alot is people putting the RS Split bumpers on a standard front end and calling it an RS.. These people should be slapped.. IMO

Yea, but if you put the split bumpers on a standard front and call it a standard front w split bumperettes, its all good though, right? Because I really dont want to get slapped because i wanted the splits on mine. LOL

SierraSport

That is fine, but more time then not people try to tell me thier car is a RS.

Your fine with the Spilts everybody does it, just don't try to pass it off.

I love 2nd Gens, especially rubber bumpers(Sorry thats my Generation). I've owned 8 of them. My first being a 1970 bondo machine, I was sold on the spilt bumpers and the super rare "Corvette" 2 bolt 327, lol.
I wish I would have kept the 12 bolt that was under it but my dad made get of that "POS". That was 1991.
Here is my last 2nd Gen a 1979 in the ugliest original color ever painted on a Camaro ever, #41 Light Green. I miss this car.
