Re: New 1980 Camaro project.
I had a 79 Camaro with a 305/4sp manual. Good mileage but not real responsive. Hated reverse on that trans as you had to lift the entire shifter handle to get into reverse. Sucked for trying to rock it back and forth when attempting to escape snow traps. Other then the shifting issue, it was a decent snow car after putting a couple hundred pounds in the trunk and making sure the gas tank was full. Traded it off after the list of need to dos got too long and I didn't have a shop at the time.
Couple of suggestions.
Those inside door handles are semi soft plastic and like ripping apart at the front screw. I used a strap of leather behind the handles to stop that.
That pure plastic dash where the radio sits makes it real easy for thieves. After opening the doors by prying on the glass to get a hand on the lock, they just rip the radio out of the dash. Might consider putting a gauge cluster in the radio spot and hiding the real sound system elsewhere.
