Take a look in the Bad Factory Welds post. My L-78 Camaro is a 20K mile car and all the paint marks are original. All I did was clean up the suspension although the springs are NOS and the a-arms have been repainted.

GREAT pictures. Yours is the first I have seen (other than my car) with pink on the left steering knuckle and white on the right one. Several guys have told me that it isn't right, but that is sure what was on mine from the factory.

Lynn, what are some details on your Camaro? Build Date, Factory, SS 396, etc. Thanks,
