  Them ole Camaros,  best damn sporty car for the buck avalable to us US Americans,  but--Nothing is perfect.....
 Myself -I have always been pre-occupied with styling, and annoyed by  styling glitches that seem  last minute additions to clay full scale models added my ignoramous's'

The 67-and 8 got pretty close to perfect proportions for what they were, but having sufferd the same  abuse all you guys also agonized over..door dings...... The crease running down the length i would have  smoothed over and eliminated,  also since i have done custom pieces like a road racing front faring -even before  , I did not like the indented wheel well lips stamped in just to fit  the tacky  wheel opening trim ,  i would have just had a 1/2" flat vertical edge all the way around , those are the two basic changes i wish the cars had when they came out,  but i can turn my imagination loose,,,, You guys would not believe what would have been

and i bought my first car when i was a supermarket bagboy new yrs day 1980, a 67 rs/ss coupe.
 i grew up not far from bill Helshers  Green Valley raceway  --Where  Penske /Donahue, Gurney, Titus, Posey and the like battled it out on the lesser known transam  track.
 Any how  im a certified  Camaro Maniac, that had done all kinds of custom parts for the 67-8's.
