Re: The functionality of an El Camino and the looks of a Camaro

I am not a fan. At all.


I think that's pretty hideous that someone would do that to a perfectly good El Camino, regardless of the fact that the Camaro front end is way better looking lol.


just my . I'm just not a fan of major hackjobs

I've seen good El Camaros. This is not one of them.

Re: The functionality of an El Camino and the looks of a Camaro

yeah, not a big fan at all...but to each his own... I like the necessity of the rear wing...haha. If I were to ever do this, I'd use the front end of a Firebird/Trans Am, I think it'll look better...

Re: The functionality of an El Camino and the looks of a Camaro

Move over quickly, I think I'm gonna'.....

Seriously, the main problem I have is that all of the lines look too harsh. The Camaro lines are much softer and this project looks too much like a cardboard mock-up.

Re: The functionality of an El Camino and the looks of a Camaro

To turn that inbred beast of a THING, would take like a 12 point turn, the rear wheels seem to be to far apart. Thats not a rear wing! Its place to hang your laundry to dry while on the go...
