Boy howdy! You've got the fever! Your '78 sounds like magazine material! My last Camaro was a '78. It looked a lot faster than it was. None the less, I lost my license in that car. It's better to have a sleeper than a fancy paint job! The one car I really wish I'd never sold was my '75 Camaro. Some day I'm going to build another one.

Supercharging is a hoot! You can (almost) never have too much power. Besides, I really love that s/c sound. Good luck with yours!

LOL. Right now my '78 looks like the "Creature from the Lost Junk Yard". I did mention I'd pulled it from a barn didn't I? Had about ten years worth of chicken sh!t that I need to scrape off. Paint was beyond saving. Plans include installing an interior (right now I'm using a milk crate) and Chroma-flair paint (red/blue color shifting).

It'll be at least five years before the thing is anywhere close to be presentable. At this point, it drives. Barely. Got suspension and brake work to do in a big way. Most of the current parts were ripped from a Caprice and a Buick.

It's been sitting for two years. The engine will probably need to be top-halfed, but I can do that when installing the huffer and the Trick-Flows.

I've got some pictures of it from right after I got the motor back into it and the front clip mostly re-installed. I'll see if I can't post 'em up later. She looks worse than UglyBikers Road Runner up above.
