On Sept 10th 2004 I had the tail pipes changed. If you look at most of the pics of the Killer Tomato, you'll see that her tailpipes go straight out the back to the end of the rear bumper. Now the exhaust tips point down, just after the rear wheels.

Can you see them in this picture?

There's a BIG difference between the 79 and 80 Z-28 front grille. I finally found an 80 grille at "YEAR ONE", and installed it on 9/25/04. I really think it looks better. rix_rides's 1979 Chevrolet Camaro

I've had a lot of people ask to see the interior of the Killer Tomato. The front seats are in pretty poor shape and I hadn't found any good covers until NOW.....so here are a couple of shots of the interior. (9/25/04)

Here are some more pictures of the
"Killer Tomato" (2003 and 2004)

With the new grille and tailpipes.

Next car....a 71 or 72 Olds 442, or Buick GS Convertible (455 of course!), or maybe a GTO Convertible, or maybe an early Trans Am, or another AMX, or maybe...........It's all about having fun. Enjoy the drive!
