i have been trying to post pics of my ride. so i am hopping that they will come out.....also does anyone know how to post mulitple pics if you can...thanks

smokefan

here are some more but wish the quality was a bit better

smokefan

....

smokefan

these are the pics when i first bought the car. it was all hacked up. still having problems with wiring in the car, cant wait for christmas....

smokefan

car came with a new 350 crate motor, i now have the motor torn down and waiting for christmas for parts to come from santa (isnt he great)

smokefan

have a set of afr heads comming, stealth ram, going full roller. wanted to do aa 383 but money became really tight and i figured that since it is a new crate motor it should suit me fine for now

smokefan

does anyone have any good ideas on what i should do with the headlights?? i wanted to change them around a bit since i dont care for the way the stock lights look with the kit. wanted to try to do some thing that would be more flush with the body kit with fiberglass, if anyone knows anyone in the connecticut area that does custom work with fiberglass let me know...

smokefan

i will be posting more pics of the motor tear down as soon as i get around to it.....so what do you guys think of it....i am not that big of a fan of body kits but i like this one (oh and the t56 is a plus )

FAST RS

Could you get some headlights to fit maybe out of the new sunfires or maybe a 300Z i dont think they have popups on the 90's style.

dude no offence but that is the worst exhaust i have ever seen. i dont even think that will work. is that off an atv?? looks like a spark arrestor?? you should consider the ferrari style look like the evolution cars use.

I NOTICE how u like took.. pics of sections.. i want to see what it looks like all around.. how it ties into the car.. to me it looks like its taking the sharpness out of the car... but i bet she stands out and looks crazy.. let me see more pics..from a distance

i hate how we can only post like 2-3 pics in our own threads.. i guess it has something to do with the sites compacity load?

sadly i agree though...

That rear shot is very "back to the future"-esque. Looks like a trailer hitch rather than exhaust.

FAST RS

LOOKS liek a mini jet engine.

Yeah z32 headlights would probably work with little modifications..

Looks good, but yeah, change the exhaust pls.

Camaroguy18

the front makes it look like a probe or 300z....the exhaust would have to go. Not my cup of tea, but nice to see something different, where did you find the kit?

nolanr0413

it doesnt look that bad except for the exhaust . But id liek to see more of the body kit , what the heck is it .

iroc2nv

looks good dude...


nice to see someone else decided to mod the body as well as the rest of the car.

although im kinda agreeing with some of the other people..that exaust isnt looking too good...BUT it is your ride, if you like it..keep it!! :P


nice work again

Is that a Supertrapp muffler?

SC82TA

Definitely different. I like the front though, but the back is another story. Like many have said the exhaust is hideous and the back bumper just doesn't seem to flow well, I don't like all the openings it has. The paintjob looks good though and the hood too, a little too tall for my taste, but nice nonetheless. You just gotta get some rims and you're almost all set.

As for posting more than one picture. You can only post multiple pictures on a single post if they're hotlinked, otherwise if you're going to attach a picture to a post you can only have one per post and a total of three per thread. So you're actually violating TGO rules, but you didn't really know. To host pictures try something like Village Photos. Once your pictures are on there just copy the URL where the picture is on tht post using the IMG tag.

I also like the idea of Nissan 300ZX lights. There is a Star Trek Camaro that has them. They're not a simple bolt on so you'll have to maybe get the wiring harness or have someone that knows how to wire up stuff look at it. Here is a set up for auction on ebay.....300ZX Headlights

85f-bird

not bad, really have no probs w/ the front of the car, also have no probs with the sides. But the back is killin me, it's definately to, "curvey" for the car, doesn't seem to flow right. I'd like to see some pix of your car in better lighting and from better angles (aka, not straight on, like 3/4 views) The exhaust is a round peg in the square hole, which is never a good combo. Should buy some pipes that'll fill the void, or go the custom route and have tips made up in the shape of it. Would really help the rear, atleast, improve it. Rest of the car, nice...

ps-
get rid of those inky-winky little lights, and replace them w/ factory setups, it'd look better. If you're looking to "update" get the composite conversion, and run silverstars.

I see a noteworthy ride thats being show in pieces intentionally for the sake of those who would laugh first without seeing the bigger picture. I'd like to see the ride completed. Your obviously hiding full body images for the sake of grand standing. I think it will look interesting, possibly even bad ***. I won't judge before the cards are drawn. Carry on, hush the nay-sayers, amaze the critics, and overall enjoy it.

hey did any chance you buy that car from someone in NJ? this kid i knew was goin to buy i think it was an 86 with that same body kit but didnt have the cowl hood at the time.

PontiacRacing

I like how looks once its painted, I'd like to see some more pictures of it. You could go with projector headlights off of a full size Chevy pickup. I agree with everyone else, the exhaust needs to be different.

smokefan

ok guys sorry about the exhaust...yes its in the process of getting changed so no more laughing. its funny cause if your not careful you will trip over it it is the worst part of the car. i bought this edelbrock squared exhaust tip that i was going to but on the car but dont know if i am going to do duel 2-1/4 tips instead. i also dont like the back of the car either but it does stand out a bit. i also am going to be installing the zr1 taillight kit on it so hopefully with the coffee can muffler and the taillights changed will change the looks of the car from the rear. thanks for your input guys and i am going to be looking into the head light info a bit..thanks...i will also post different pics once i get the car running again. i agree the pictures suck as far as angles go...maybe thats why i am not a photographer

redraif

glad you are going to fix the exhaust. Interesting kit from what I have seen. Any info on what it is? Can't wait to see more photos with it painted in more angles. Esp with the hood closed.

I would say you could get sa cardoamin site an hot link from there, but they have been patchy as of late. Though you could set up a site and then just put a link to it! We could take a look see that way!

blyth18md

Any idea who manufactures or did make that kit? Just curiousity.

smokefan

Danko was the manufacter of the kit but they went under from what i heard. they only made three kits like this. one kit i saw sold on the dupont reg. for 10k back in 93 based on a 82 platform. i really dont know any more than that. i have a couple of more pics t0 post but cant resize the pics with this computer and mine crashed. but pics dont look that great cause of the garage that its in right now. looks more like a cave than a garage. but i will try to post when i can

91rsowner4life

every thing i can find for Danko or Danko Direct or Danko Reproductions comes up with hits but all of the liks have been shut down:shrug: darn i would like to see that body kit in person o well

smokefan

yea i talked to the guy that sold the kit and he said that the company had trouble selling the kit so they went under he thought. i wish i knew more about it cause i really would like to change the headlights on it and i know that they ofered a kit from the headlights. i just need to figure something out.

that is a supertrap ex they are good for blowers cuz you can adjust back presure

91rsowner4life

well after i was looking around to see if i could find any more info on this body kit i did find this guy on ebay his seller name is dankodirect and he is selling alot of stuff on ebay heres his link http://stores.ebay.com/Danko-Reproductions-Inc
its the same name hope this will help. iit looks to be the same guy by all the info i have found

bulletboy29

The rear looks like Darth Vader is smokin' a cigarette! Front doesn't look too bad. Let's see more pics of the whole car!

i believe those kits came with some sore of headlight cover, kinda like a blackout looking thing. i've only seen pics of this kit though, i am not a body kit kinda guy, hence the reason my LT sportcoupe is remaining gfxless.

smokefan

yea the guy that i called who sold the kit said that the pics of the car with the headlight covers are just pieces of lexan glass that you would need to cut yourself so i didnt want to go that route. i liked the star trek camaro with the 300zx headlights but i want to know how they did it before i go out and but a set cause they are very expense. i tried to email the guy but he never returned my emails thats if it is even the right guy that i am emailing

what do you guys think of this I almost put it on the back almost looks like a viper.

KiLLJ0Y

it looks like a GTA ate some ****, threw up, then had some left over on its chin..


ugly as all hell.. is it me.. or does that car look raised?

KiLLJ0Y

what the hell?? i cant say ryce? thats stupid

GTAfanatic

iTrader: (3)

that why i did no do it, it made for a honda my friend was like we should put it on your car. i agree with you guys,but i do like the back a bit the car look rased cuz the grand effects are off and the camera angle

Spdfrk1990

Heres what i would do with the exhaust get a slp quad exhaust like on the 2002 ss with the 4 tips in the middle. You might have to make the bumper a tad wider though.

redraif

Yes with it wider, it might even go well with an exhaust set up like mine...
My exhaust

IROC_5796

looks like a Integera body kit, similer styling to the one on my friends integra. I didnt like that perticular kit myself

WTF is that exhaust.........:no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

your car looks pretty good. If you change your exhaust change it this way-->

smokefan

i actually like the way that looks much better, but the exhaust is the last thing that i am worring about now. i just want to get the car back together so i can get ready for some driving. the wearther has been really nice here and at the rate that i am going it is going to be fall before i finish

Moshe Field

Hey, if you guys really want to know about this kit, It is still available on the market. I was searching the net for Danko Camaro, and I happened upon this site. I was hoping to locate some of the cars/kits that I built about 10 years ago. I think if you guys could take yourselfs back to 1991 when this kit was released, you would appreciate it more. It was supposed to be more of what I thought the new 4th gen camaros should look like instead of a "modified look" kit. It was pretty succesful since I never spent a dime to market it. I still have the company and molds, but have moved into reproduction parts manufacturing. We have a website www.dankoreproductions.com We never went out of business,just moved on to making things people really needed. I have lots of pics of more cars and a few different designs. We sold about 20 kits worldwide thanks to a few free magazine articles in kit car illustrated, petersons kit car,and super chevy. Many of them were destroyed in crashes though.

wow.. talk about bringing a post back from the dead. I for one am happy that somebody is still selling a body kit for our cars, that doesn't completely look like a$$. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but it is one way to easily get 11 and 12" rims on the car

Moshe Field

It looks like smokefans black danko is missing the front nose trim piece. I think that it should either all be blended in like the blue car, or should have all the trim pieces around the car. I still have the mold... maybe I could help him if he broke it.

smokefan

are you talking about the bucket part of the front nose. i took it off because i wanted to try and graf something different with the headlights. kind of give it the 3000gt style to it. well that failed so i put the bucket back in the only thing i dont like is the headlights on it. do you have something different for it. let me know.

redraif

Makes me wish I had gotten that Camaro... (one out in field in rough shape) but the lady never comtacted me back about it! If I had, I would see what you could do about a whole kit! Maybe once I get settleed in the new place and get some of the other projects mobile I will got Camaro hunting so I can make a danko!
