Re: Can this Camaro body kit be fabricated

Is there any chance you could post any of the pictures you had posted before? I would like to re-look at your progress.

Re: Can this Camaro body kit be fabricated

Anyone wanting to do this sort of thing, it's fairly simple. Make a mold out of whatever: foam, steel, bondo, cardboard, duct tape...

Lay on the cloth and resin..

Lots of sanding/filling..

LOTS of sanding/filling..

I said Lots!..

Re: Can this Camaro body kit be fabricated

Here's what's been taking up all my time lately, it's a triangulated four link w/ 2ft. of travel using mostly junkyard or free parts. Should soak up some shiite pretty good!

Re: Can this Camaro body kit be fabricated

I love the bird. Wish you'd pull that 415 outta the elcamino and put it back into the bird... OTOH the el camino is sweet too.

Lets see some more progress on the bird.

Interesting concept. Don't like the front end, but it seems like you did a great job fabricating it. I like the idea of switching the headlights to the newer style. Is that easy, or alot of custom work?

Thanks.

Re: Can this Camaro body kit be fabricated

I can understand the work put into doing a custom nose but honestly I just sold my Fiero GT why would I want to make my camaro look like one. That nose could easily be fabed from a 86-88 Fiero nose and achieve the same appearance.

Found your KIT
http://www.xtremeracingonline.com/chevy82camaroBk.html

THAT REAR BUMPER IS ****ING HIDEOUS (Sorry for the language)

Is your car a crazy bitch, or is she just Happy to see me...

Not to sure on the smiley face front end (sorry for the harsh words), but overall I wish I could give you a design for my 300zx and have it done, I just want the stock bumper but extended maybe .5-1" longer...I love that look of an extended bumper, but the iroc (until something comes up) will stay stock ground effects...or extended

Seriously though thats great work, just seems all the great work and bodykit for these cars have boot front ends (and some boot rears as well) why not something more squared off like the car is, to much roundess for these cars...needs to be sharp and badass.
