I believe his name is Mark Stielow..... Was thinking that a piece of cardboard or thin insulation sheet could be cut to fit, then put some fiberglass cloth on it. use thin sheet metal in an L shape. Put some corresponding slits in to accomadate the L to make the runners fastened with some small button head fasteners. The same could be done in the front. If you wanted to do it yourself.

Ah, you mean Mark Stielow. The man has built some pretty awesome Camaros over the years. Have you seen his LS9, ZR1 brake equipped monster. It's pretty cool.

Depending on what class you are potentially going to run in the Silver State you can get by with some fairly basic pieces. I've never run the event but my '78 is stable at 140 mph with a fiberglass PC type airdam, an 80-82 rear bumper, lowered probably a little lower than it should be for the street and a fair amount of rake (245-50R15 in front and 295-50R15 in the back although I'm running 17's on it now). A splitter like BeeJay built would be excellent, especially for the forward supports to keep the front of it from bending down due to the air pressure on it.
Have you seen my diffuser? It's not perfect since it doesn't blend in the license plate holder like it should but it's a start.

This is the a fiberglass airdam http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...9&dept_id=1353
You would have to come up with your own design for a spoiler on the rear.

Has anyone mounted the 73 and later 3 Piece Pace Car spoiler to the 69~71?

Great thread, and a lot of interesting info to consider as I modify / improve my 71. I like the one piece idea, but the design is a little different than the original PC design. Does it make that much of a difference?

FWIW, in my experience the original PC dam must be braced (BeeJay added a braced splitter to his) for any real prolonged speeds to keep it off the ground. The damage below isn't from parking curbs...
