however, it looks like it'd be impossible to realistically do without a TON of fabrication

Just buy a fourth-gen, because it is obvious that is where your tastes are.

it will never happen, so who cares? how about instead of posting 21 different threads with photoshops of how you want to hack up your car,

make one thread with pictures after you actually finish the work.

No crap, right!

Everyday we get a new photoshop from him, and they all look the same.

Personally If I were a mod, I would lock/delete all the old ones and take away his image tag rights

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If its your thing man then I say go for it. Most of the greatest accoplishments were born out of extensive criticism. If Boyd Coddington listyened to what everyone else said to do he would have just been another body shop

Whoever said fourth gens look better

You'll note, may, as in, not for everybody. To some they may look better, to others they may look worse. I'm neutral.

I LOOOOVE 4th gens and someday I will have one. I love my 84 TA... dont get me wrong. But I think 4th gens look absolutely killer . Its American Muscle that kind of "fits" with the import craze because theyre so rounded.

hmm well the one int he pic is a 4th gen spoiler, factory just liek the hi rise is, the lower body is remminiscent of a 4th gen birdy rear (notably the 98-02 style).

tailights are maro, so is the camaro indention (most notbaly berger/slp style)

Nope no fast and furious thier. Just a shady chop is all :-P

domestic Fast and the Furious , I dont like it Period. Cant change my opinion. You hav urz, i have mine. Anything under 92 I like. 93 and up are just butt ugly to me ( F bodys) I dont care if they were factory or not. There ugly either way. Im not fighting with you. JMO. I respect wat your saying. I just dont like. I think its Horrible what did to F bodys. Made that 300m or Dodge Intrepid look There fast , but they hav no design whatsoever
(besides the interior )

hmm I like the camaro panel and the taillights are ok. The wing looks good on the 4th gen birds but not sure how it would look on your iroc. dont really like the rear bumper cover. and like everyone else said, the ps threads are getting old. start some progress threads or something.

LOL what a catastrophe of parts. I have a feeling Need For Speed just posts these pix to ruffle some feathers on the board sometimes IF you are planning on building that or even considering it, realize how much work it would be. It's easy to draw blurry lines, but actually creating that rear bumper cover and everything that goes along with the taillights (which don't belong on a 3rd gen in a million years!) will be lots of time and/or money

Wow...spending thousands on body work to convert your third gen into a 4th gen. You know you can just buy a 4th gen right?
This is just pointless. Put down the photoshop and do it.

I like the blackened one alot better. All the black accents flow. I for one like it. I do dislike 4th gen camaros but this rear end looks different then a 4th gen maro.

You guys should stop bashing him. We all dont have rich mommys and daddys to pay for the car our mommys and daddys bought us. Im sorry for the rude comment but you guys are hard on him. Hes got a goal. Whether he achives it now or in a decade from now isnt relevant. Its HIS project not any of yours. If hes taking his time its for a reason. (Money, space, etc etc.) hes asking for your opinion. If you dont like it say I dislike it. Dont say BUY A 4th GEN. Thats like saying to someone whos building a turbo 6 to just BUY A v8.

Im sorry for saying this but you guys are really blind and ignorant sometimes.

If you do finish it. Do it at your pace and show us the progress. Your obviously not all talk like some say you are.

The only thing I like about the 4th gens is the drivetrain, interior and some of the exterior styling, the entire package isn't for me.

These are my old cars,




And this is what I prefer,

People like you are ignorant and cant look at someones creativity. Im sure every mod would agree that hes just showing us his vision and maybe sometime in the far future his car...You guys **** me off with how closed minded alot of you are. Theres no need to make ignorant comments like alot of you have made.

"Buy a 4th gen" he obviously wants a project not just a pre done car.
"Buy a v8" People take pride in their work.
"why isnt it done yet?" Lets see? Money, time, job, etc etc etc.

I had to vent. Yet again.

i would agree with u 100% IF this was the first time (even the first few)...but it's not. i mean he already had a PS post with what he was going to do and he already stared doing it (unless those other posts r PS too ) this has just gotten to be , i can't beleive he would really scrap he progress just to make this new rear end, do u?. i mean now any post i see of his, i will most likey think it's another PS thread and i'm sure others will too.

b4 u say how closed minded and ignorant i am....i do like what he's doing with his car in real life (not PS crap) and think it's gona be really cool and REALLY different.

Lighten it up a bit, boys. I like my ThirdGen's, but there are only so many of the exact same bone-stock looking Camaro's I can take before I get bored.

I like creativity and different ideas. So what if Photoshop can do things you would never actually do to your car. Then don't bother reading these posts!
