does make ya want to go out and kick someone in the nuts doesn't it?

NuBird

talking about my car or the elcamaro ss thing?

NuBird

ok well I couldn't afford a glass hood so i bought a scoop.... that didn't work either, the scoop is flat and my hood isn't So, ima gonna get a really cool breather and stick it through the hood, trust me I will make it look good. And the new TGO rocks!

TownleyBA

not bad, now just lower it

I think those camaro fenders need some trans am vents in them. That'd really set the look off.

kinda looks like the car in GT4, the iroc concept. sweet deal though.

NuBird

it shall be lowered. I have all spohn suspension in the back, if I lower it back there would it hurt my 60 ft times?

NuBird

Anyone want to buy my car? its extremely fast and handles on rails. I would rather trade for an old Javelin or something like that I have 12000 in this

I always wondered what that would look like. My friend and I have always joked about me building a "Buick F-body" and him building an "Oldsmobile F-body" Guess it would look something like this. Definately a good job!!

i think your car is sweet. i think the cervinis hood would look good. the wheels look good but im thinkin some nice chromies would look good too

Awesome idea man, thats innovative right there. Looks great imo, except for the color, but hey, to each his own. Thumbs up man

EMTGuzman

uhhh... i hate it... but i dont have to drive it either so as long as its in your driveway and not mine - then whatever...

i will say you did a good job making it look like it came like that... only question it leaves is why...


...and you might wanna ditch the part of the tail lights that says trans am and just black that out)

You know,I think a 91-92 z28 hood would look good,The hood just need a little something to break it up abit.and maybe a z28 wing to give it a little height in the back.The rear loks to narrow(top to bottom) for that front end.Looks awsome though.
Here's my old 87 with the z28 wing.

rwdtech

i think it looks very sweet...i think the trans am rear gives it sort of a 90's touch i dont see why anyone would think it looks bad

NuBird

Thanks...ya can't win em all. I just got an oval breather from edelbrock and its on top of the hole.... its not too bad, not too bad at all. the car is still for sale Hey does anyone know why i can't post anything on the cars for sale board?

Lucid

iTrader: (4)

Thats just wrong on so many levels....

Nice job though, you did an almost seamless job!
I like the front half of the car...

rwdtech

wtf how is it wrong, it looks sexy

NuBird

Hey y'all, the TransMaro blew a connecting rod, I'll get pics of that too. Funny thing it that it still ran, the rod was completely in half there are 2 dimples on the oil pan where it was slapping it everytime it came around but it didn't harm the cylinders or the crank or piston, I was fortunate. Anyways, I got some PM rods,maybe it will hold up to the 11:1 compression and all the other stuff. Plannign to go to Clay City to run a few passes in a few weeks, maybe theres a few locals that would wanna go and play with the rice burners?

rwdtech

take more pictures of the car!!! i think it looks amazing

looks nice i always wanted to see one done....the only thing i would changes are the rims go with some aftermarket ones or GTA's they look good on any car

Bullydawg

iTrader: (7)

wow, very cool. How hard was it to put the camaro front on it?

tourville

iTrader: (2)

the fender vents would be sweet!

car came out really good congrats! just one question.. are you not happy with it or something? you keep saying its for sale or trade... why?

also i think the daytona louver hood would look sweet!

Dale

iTrader: (12)

I like it, Ive never liked the camaro tail lights, but liked the front.

Good job on putting it together.

3vi1p3nguin

yeah, really well done. some new pics would be awsome

vorgath

The back section of a Firebird, does it just bolt up straight away to a Camaro, does anyone know ? I'm talking about the entire back piece, quarter panel section over T-tops etc

JimmyDavidson

It doesn't unbolt. It's all welded. It would be best to swap over firebird fenders hood and front nose to a Camaro instead of cutting and welding Camaro rear panels to a Firebird(It would work but be time consuming and extra work). You'd probably have to change some things like the hood lock and some plastic panels too, but everything else is the same underthere.

vorgath

Ok, hmmm see what I'm looking for is a way to get the Camaro tail section to look like the Firebirds, with the TransAm lights.

3vi1p3nguin

then put a camaro front clip on a ta. thats what he did here

NuBird

HOLA!, no pics yet, yeah I was trying to sell it, needed money, you knwo the deal, had a electrical short in one of the fan relays that I couldn't trace down so I just said get rid of it. but I found it lol More pics are on the way after I get my camera back from the town crackhead. Thanks for the compliments everyone

NuBird

Why do hot rods always break? that was rhetorical

creepingdeath

This thread is ooooold i think i got some posts on the first page haha

rwdtech

MORE PICTURES. i am only concerned with the body of the car, so post more pics dude

NuBird

it broke again, like before I blew a con rod then I got it goin and this fuel system demon popped up and I'm putting on a new holly fuel pump. Then I lost my job and caught the flu. Someone's gonna die lol

TIMMYS89GTA

iTrader: (28)

Yeah,maybe that crackhead that still apparently has your camera is next in line?

davelay2

I'm working on the same thing. I just acquired a 86 Trans Am and I'm gonna put a Camaro IROC front end. Do the fenders, hood, and bumper fit cause I just put a used hood and bumper on the tranny from a formula firebird.(besides ground effects issues)?

creepingdeath

I can't stand the look of "transmaro's" no one does them right... the wheel wells are completly diffrent shapes. camaros are sharp and jaged looking t/a's are smooth and rounded, a true "transmaro" would have matching quarter panels but then after that whats the point?? all you have is a diffrent rear bumper, tail lights and side gfx. I do love T/A's though i just dont think the camaro and trans am look good "frankenstiened" together.

Firebat

iTrader: (7)

If you make it right and add a few custom touches, it will look maybe good. I really think you would have to add something custom in addition to combining stock camaro and firebird parts. Like the camaro concept. But yeah, unless you make the fenders or wheel wells match, its going to look really bad. And also the ground effects must be matched, 85-90 t/a ground efx do not match camaro ground efx.

soultron

iTrader: (2)

Maybe those Japanese GFX and a High rise spoiler with no center pedestals?

creepingdeath

Atleast the fenders match

Kitts 1 ruined car ..... TransMaro 2 ruined cars ..... whats next?

NuBird

Don't hate the car, hate the builder! Cause The builder doesn't give a damn
Well Yeah I still haven't gotten my camera back and well it dipped down way COLD and cracked the block, I was wondering why it took 5 gallons of fluid lol And I didn't ruin any car with this project, the Iroc Parts were from a wrecked one and the TA itself was pretty hashed to begin with, do ya think any sane person would take 2 Nice cars and hack em up?

creepingdeath

How cold can it get in kuntucky? What do you use for coolant straight water?

irockid86

i like it. i dont know that i would do it if i had the time and money but i am glad that some one did. the fender shape may be a little off but i think it still makes a sweet daily driver. another thing i like about it is that any one could do it. we are not looking at a $50,000 life time project. we are looking at a car that was built on a fairly modest budget in a home garage. keep up the good work.

Broc

I really like the way my big-block stinger hood looks and I think the hoods look good on the car and I also think u should do is what I did and put the 91-92 body kit on the car.

jay_d

the front half looks good anyways.......does it have z28 on the dash? or some firebird bullshit?

NuBird

well this canadian blast of cold air got here and brought the temp down to about 20, god thats cold. And you are right creepingdeath, it was straight water in it, yes it was my fault, I know, I'm an idiot for not remembering. send hate mail to snakedoctor@insightbb.com lol Oh its got the IROC dash in it, that was chore to wire up

rwdtech

post more pictures of the body. i think its awesome

soultron

Any new progress?
