Congrats. I picked up the magazine last night. My girlfriend looked at me a little strange when I pointed out the car and said, "I've talked to that guy online a few times".

 

I went to meijer and they didnt have it they usualy have the camaro performers.

 

I'll never get over the awesomeness of Fatal Expense :hail:

 

What about the one piece head lights? What did those come off of? So much was left out of the magazine. I guess thats what happens when you are lucky enough to get a thirdgen in "First Gen Camaro Performers".

 

*** i want that targa top!

Ever since you poste dhow you did it i want to do it... i just dont have the mone yto put into that project

 

oh yea? we'll ive talked to the guy in person...


and ive also gotten that whole evil eye whats-that-dude-doing-leaning-over-my-car-and-looking-in-it-he better-not-touch-the-paint look a couple times.... hehe


for some strange reason, his stock GM back window is the largest plastic 3rdgen back window ive ever seen... *shrug*

 

sweet car man!

 

That is the sweetest 3rd Gen I have ever seen. I can't even imagine the amount of fabrication in that. I still don't know why people like the 4th Gen interior. I have the digital dash GTA interior and I would never change it (except for maybe the seats). Not to knock what you've done I think its awesome. That engine bay, WOW how did you manage that. Are those inner fenders cut from a 4th gen and just welded into the 3rd gens? Amazing.

 

he took the entire front end off a 4thgen.... know how our subframes are tack welded to the floopan? he cut thoes welds off, took the front off the car, did the same to a 4thgen, and put it in there.

 

congratulations, good job. it's nice to see more of us getting in the magazines!

 

for what purpose?

 

so I could run all the 4th gen suspension and brakes.

old engine bay before we clipped it


after some custom firewall work


we kept the 3rd gen fender supports so the 3rd gen fenders would still bolt on.


headlights: 87 Monte carlo

 

interesting

 

Thats just awesome, the amount of detail amazing, I have never seen anyone paint flames (especially so tastefully) inside the engine bay, and then you cut it out, you have alot more vision than I. I know the LS1 swap doesn't require that level of fabrication so it must have been necessary to get the coil ocer front suspension from the 4th Gen in there. Wouldn't it have been easier to just take a 4th Gen and put the 3rd Gen body on it?
