You could try the Firebird metal panel that goes there. Should pretty much be a direct fit.

But a large thin sheet of aluminum, trace out the shape and cut it out with shears, drill a few holes, paint it up and it'll look better than stock. Or buy a carbed car one, thirdgenranch.com sells them I know.

This. The firebird panel won't fit without custom fabrication. The black plastic tbi/carb insert for Camaros is the cleanest solution.

it is a pretty easy fab project out of thin aluminium or plastic if you like to do to do those types of things.

Should be a dime a dozen. A year? Did you go through withdrawal pains? Any anxiety? Visits to a 'white coat' clinic?
