I will always say add the spoiler on 1st and 2nd gens to me they dont look right without them. But it's your car do what makes you happy.

Just a side note, the paint in both the then and now pics is the same paint job. Coming from Phoenix the original paint was so sun baked that the primer was visable in places eventhough the car was only 4 years old. I had a friend repaint it in the mid 70's. If I calculate correctly, that means the paint is now over 30 years old. It looks good from a distance and in pictures and it really doesn't look too bad up close, but trust me it has 30 years of scratches and chips.

The car never had a rear spoiler and I am undecided as to whether I want one. Everyone who builds a 1st gen has one and I kinda like the look of the clean deck lid.

And the name "Dust Off" comes from the fact that it sat in my garage for nearly 20 years and I litterally had to dust it off to start the project.
I would leave it just as is. Like you said everyone whos done a first gen has one. I like the spoiler but sometimes leaving it off is nice too.

Sweet ride, and the story behind it is just as cool! I think it's awesome that you have kept that Camaro as long as you have and are still having fun with it. Look forward to seeing more.
