I agree. Not the kind of look I'd go for, but then again it's not my car either. Good luck, hope you get the look you're after.

People talk about alot of things but what do they know besides whats best for their own car...build it the way u want and so that it wont be lost in the middle of the sears parking lot!

I feel ur pain man...u know what Im goin through tryin to get my monsters paint finished up and interior done...Its takes time just slow done and focus on one area then move onto the next!

If ya get frustrated, get up and leave, dont throw a wrench across ur shop cause more than likly it'll bounce back and hit ur car....

GET-R-DONE!!!!!!!

Wow... I never realized how similar these cars look.

Just take off the front bumper and headlights and the spoiler and you have pretty much the exact same car.

I think right now your at the worst point, its all tore down and you cant see any real progress as of yet. Just stick with it man and once you see progress and when it comes together youll fall in love with that car all over again and be so glad you kept it.

Stick with it. There's no such thing as great results the easy way. Work hard and it will come out great. I better see this car on the road next year:

judas, ppl, calm down. I actually wasn't even trying to make a point to begin with. I'm just asking because my Trans Am is all original and I still have TONS of ppl say "nice Camaro Mike" "Mike, where did you get that camaro." "Your Camaro is in nice shape." and, I have nothing against camaros but it just Pi**** me off. And even with just the GTA wheels on his car, the first time I saw it I did a dbbl take to see which it was. Yes, he's doing what he likes- that's obvious. Who would do something to their car they didn't like? I was just asking a question.....
