This is the 1974 to 1979 rear end look.

But I want the 80 to 82 rear end look soooooo......I had to remove the old one first and look what I found hiding under the old one.  

I just can't leave all that rust & dust.

I mean even if you can't see it....you still know it's there right?

That's much better. :-)

OHHHH YEAHHH I like that rear spoiler look.  Anyone know someone who needs a perfect rear clip for a 74 to 79 Vette? Complete with support brackets and I'll even throw in the original tail lights.

I wanted a little more front spoiler than the tiny stock one. I think this one looks better.

very nice ride/project. A great car to own, I respect you and muscle cars even though I'm with imports. My father used to race a camaro SS at the drag strip. 5 stars for you and your ride and your comment was very amusing!
