'79 Z-28

[Farmboy]

She's all original except for possibly for the mud flaps. She even still has the 1st generation space saver spare with original compressed air inflator can. If anyone needs a pic of that I'll shoot it and post it. The wheels were a factory Z-28 option in '79. The neat part is the Revell StreetBurner 79 Camaro has the correct 2-tone blue decals! As for the wheels, I found a set of gold chrome ones in a chevy lowrider kit. I'll be starting a build in a few weeks. I'll post progress in the proper forum. Now, where to find plaid paint....

note how uv affected the vinyl on the armrests. They're being replaced.

the am radio face folds back so you can insert the 8-track

Can I please get some detail shots of the front and rear suspensions. Im in the middle of building a 70 and would like some more pics of those areas. Ive been browsing Nastyz28.com for a while and thats been a huge help. Any inside of the trunk shots are welcome also.

WOW,Mike, GREAT SCORE!!! whad ya give for it, she's MIGHTY CLEAN!!! With only 20,000 miles no less!

This is the trunk. The covers are for the t-top panels (for us detail freaks). The cover on the spare tire is raised back to show the tire print detail

As for the suspension, she`s sleeping for the winter right now, and short of putting her on a hoist, there`s not a lot ot see. I can tell you that Revell's '79 Camaro 3 'n 1 Streetburner (85-2155) has it about right for the front end with gm's typical wishbone/shock setup, the kit rear end only needs the addition of a swaybar as shown here, easily added with carved styrene blocks and a length of styrene or brass rod

hope this is what you needed. Mike

That helps alot for the sway bar detail in the rear. The front Ive seen a 1000 times and keep wanting to add just the little extra. Thanks for the pics.

Farmboy, the original 1980 release of that kit has the correct "turbine" style wheels you need. It should have a yellow build up on the box art. I used to have both the aforementioned kit, so I know there in there, plus I have had 2 diferent 79 Z28's, its such a fun car!!!
