personally if i was given the car right now and had to the keep the camaro front end... i would:
-shave the front fender scoops, shaved trim/handles/drip-rails/no swords etc
-paint the whole body gloss 100% black
-redo the whole interior in all black on black, reverting some of it back to its original state and removing the flames
-staggered(pro touring style -larger+wider in the rear) gloss black/chrome lip torque thrust M wheels
-paint the chrome trim around the windows black to match the vehicles paint/flow better
-remove whatever that is in the bed and spray it down with bedliner(also make it functional by adding airbags to the rear)
-remove the "gmc" front windshield banner
-add to the "smoothness" the hood mechanism
for the rear i would keep it something simple and similar to this:

but then again i'm just a 20 year old kid + i'm new to cars to add to it all.

A lot of the mods other people would do to mine , I have planned, just haven't had any time [or enough money for the more expensive ones].
Have been wanting to shave drip rails, mold in bedrail trim, custom make flush handles,etc.
Would love slightly larger new wheels, Torque thrust would be an option, Donations?? Had cragarSS for 19 years now, Hold old were you SIKHS 5 when I bought them?
Window tint also 19 years old,Yea needs to go.
Silver needs to go, but my planned sheetmetal lower body extensions will be labor intensive.
Am collecting parts to make my own airride setup.
Need to finish areas of interior, door flames are an old street rod thing.No black interiors in Fla for me. Dash sword will go, I promise.
I do need to refine hood mechanism,current drive setup was last minute late night thrash to get working{like on tv shows]. Any body else ever attempt something that off one as my hood? Love to see it.
Bedcover is staying, it adds room to function as part time work truck. Bumper will be redesigned later.Many people who have seen it online & then in person like it much better in person. Some things are that way.Besides, if someone doesn,t make people say WTF, then life will be boring.

Wow! That is some really quality work. Don't sweat what some kids on the internet say about your car. You are custom making what you want, not just following whatever the latest trends are.
That is true hot rodding!
