2nd gen owners
2nd gen owners Who are you. My 71 was my first car almost 10 years ago. I'm still not finished with it yet. I never will be. I'm always changing it and improving it. I think it looks pretty good now. Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Hey, a second gen forum! 
My 79Z should be back on the road within a month or so (I hope). Just have to install the fuel system (should be here next week) and get the throttle body modified for NPT fittings.
It's got a TBI system, GM crate motor (92-93 Caprice iron head roller block), CC302 camshaft (210/220 .48/.48), Hooker headers, Flowmaster dual, 4-speed ST-10. Should be fun.
Here's a pic, me, my son, and the car - about 2 years ago.
By the way, I've been planning on putting Baldwin stripes on my '98Z. Sharp!

Sunset Z28... Beautiful car.. I love the paint scheme.
Camaroholic... Your 79 looks almost like my 78.. same color only mine had the stripe pkg. it was a black/ lgt brown color scheme.
I am currently looking @ a 1981 Z28.

Here's my '71 . It's a 454 powered 6 speed car. Not much is stock on this car anymore and like someone else said. It's never done It's got 4 wheel disc brakes and Guldstrand RR suspension and just put down 406/431 a few weeks ago. Once I put some Brodix heads on it with a solid roller cam and matching pistons I hope to be at 500 or so.

Thanks for the compliment sunsetz28
The tranny wasn't too bad to do. I used the same crossmember that my M22 was hooked to. I just had to cut the mounting pad off, turn the crossmember around backwards, weld the mounting pad back on and extend it another 3" or so. Also I had to cut the shifter hole out since the Richmond Gear 6 speed places the shifter 2" towards the driver and 3" rearward.
