Thanks Donny, I'm just trying to help out a mate that is looking to buy this car ... What got me suspicious were the big self tapping screws someone has run through the centre of the Trim Tag rivets ... This is a copy of what the seller says is the original build sheet ... Any thoughts on this as to being a knock-off or original?... Cheers Glenn

Glenn,

Starting part way thru the model year in 1973 on camaros, those screws were used in place of the rivets, so I don't think there's any 'funny business' going on with the screws. Build sheet looks OK to me, but I am not familiar with anything past 74, so I will gladly defer to others who may be more knowledgeable on 78 Camaros.

Bill, I've never known much at all about Camaros and those screws were a new one to me ... Thanks Glenn
