Go to Mikes second location.... The one on mud street.. They usually have a few Camaros.. Its down past tapley town road on mud street... Also Dominion Auto Wreckers on Fruitland has a few 4th gens, unsure of 3rd... Bodyline has a Camaro or 2.. Depends on whut u need? Whut exactly do u need... I'll keep my eyes open.. Im constantly around at al different yards looking for 4th gen interiors.. This weekend im hitting a yard in milton that says they have some 4th gens.. Write me a list of some things u need and i will check it out for ya...

Hey I went to mikes Auto Today!
Not only, I got lost, I also got there at 5:20pm!
So as polite as they were "YOU HAVE 10 MIN. THAN WE CLOSE" kinda talk to me.. I quickly rushed down there with my friend in the sticky sticky sticky mud, NOT ONLY THAT, it started to rain.. how lovely! .. and there parking area was WOW amazing with lots of HUGE holes which bottomed out my Camaro very nicely and probley scraped the **** out of my ****ing underneeth..
THan I get there.. and I see there lovely selection of 3 beat to **** Camaros with out even having Camaro rims on them. Yippy! What waste of my time.

Toll Free 1-866-822-9878. I would give them a call. Hope it works out for ya.

There is usually 6-12 thirdgens out at A1 Auto wreckers in Brantford. Usually have some good stuff from time to time. I've come across 3-4 glass 82-84 Z28 hoods and other misc cool/neat stuff. They let you in and u can pull your own parts as well

Hey.. im not really looking for much at the junkyard.
I want some hydro things for my hood and my hatchback. cause they dont hold them up anymore. And some plastic covers for them also for hte back. And also if theres any driver seats that I might find in good condition like mine. And mabye a new set of rims. And a hood and a back wing either a Z-28.

Hmmm.. there wouldn't be any good hood or trunk struts... you're better off getting new ones.

Seats... nothing like that around here
Plastic trim pieces may be taken already

I wanna hook up with some people on the board who know how to do stuff to there cars. So I wouldent have to guess on what im doing. I think it would be fun and I would learn a lot!

Most people who have never worked on cars think its more complicated than it really is... I know so many people who think doing an engine swap is crazy and they could never do it... Its really not hard at all... Just takes, time, patience, tools, and a cherry picker....
