lets see them. i dont mean shift ***** and steering wheels. i want to see that im not the only one willing to really custom/ modify my 3rd gens exterior/ interior. i went to 2 car shows this week and every 3rd gen looked exactly the same.

heres a before/after of the front view:

yeah no offense but it just looks hacked up now, the straight cut "notches" you have implemented everwhere just look like some guy without much fab skill got a saw out and made some cuts, then repaired it all with flat sheets of material.

I do a fair amount of glass work, it would not be hard to finish you ideas out to look ok if your willing to put in the time

your car not being done yet does not change my opinion or nayone elses

this site is full of modified third gens, nearly every pictue on here is a
pic of a "modified third gen"

Dont listen to those ******. I think its a great project your building. Who gives a rats a$$ if its not what they like. Your putting lots of time and effort into it, and when its done you'll be able to stand back, look at it and enjoy what you have created. It will definetly be a show stopper once its done, and if people dont like it, then tell them where to go!

Love the engine bay.

Haha, eBay and craigslist are full of show-stoppers gone wrong, just Sayin.

I'm actually really interested to see how this turns out. It could go either way, but with the proper paint and body work, you might really come out with something cool.

It's a mockup LS1 and it had a batwing on it that made it hard to put the engine in.

Been seeing the work on this thing on facebook, and gotta say its looking sweet

T/Aperformance

very interesting thread, I almost missed it being in the camaros section as I don't really look in it much. I'm always interested in any modification of this kind. Maybe this thread should be moved out of members camaros section and put in the main auto detailing and appearance area, since this is for modified 3rd gens. This way those who have firebirds who don't come into this section may view and contribute.
And nice cars so far.

first posted ****ed that car right up . Why use a shitty tunnel ram . The tech is old and outdated and not good, Why use a cog belt setup also . Dash looks worse . Just burn it man . riced out 3rd gen .

redneckjoe

what a nice comment.

Project-RS

iTrader: (1)

Do you think I really care what you think of my car. I never knew a 454bbc with a tunnel ram was riced out.

T/Aperformance

And what kind of person bashes someone else car like you just did, And what i riced out about that third gen? It is called customizing and Americans have bean doing work like this on american cars long before people were doing it to imports, I can see by your bashing and what you have said you really do not know that much,
There is nothing wrong with a tunnel ram setup with duel carbs, It looks cool plane and simple, and if tuned right works great. I don't know why the OP is running a cog set up but I do know it sounds like there is a blower under under the hood. That's just an old hot rodders trick.
But if you are just going to bash someones work, someone vision you really don't belong here, Just because it's not your taste, Maybe you can't do this kind of work so all you can do is bash someones work instead of seeing the skill, the hard work and imagination it takes to do this kind of work. It is sad to think what kind of person bashes someone work like you did.
