Detroit Autorama 3rd gen



Anyone know who's this is? I was looking at pics from the Detroit Autorama and came across this. *Not my picture

I'm usually not a fan of crazy custom bodywork, but this is pretty nice. All the angles and curves they added really go well with the the original style and flow of the car. The only thing I'm not crazy about are the headlamps...

What'cha think?

Oh, and here's a link to other Autorama pics!

Re: Detroit Autorama 3rd gen

Rad Rides By Troy built it. I like parts of it but as a whole Im not a fan which is rare as I love 3rd gens and most of RRBT's cars.

Re: Detroit Autorama 3rd gen

This car was in a Camaro Performers magazine article, it is wild. I like the back of it, it looks like they have 5th gen Camaro tail lights, they look good.

Oh, just checked out Rad Rides By troy's Web site, that car is amazing... The roll bar is pretty sweet!

Re: Detroit Autorama 3rd gen

I can appreciate the extensive level of fab that went into to it. Yet..it seems soul less, not because it's custom, but because its blatant. Least someone's pushing the creative envelope on a third gen, and not a(nother) first/fifth.

I'll reserve my opinion for the finished product.

Re: Detroit Autorama 3rd gen

i like the way the doors, fender flares, and side gfx look, agree some of the other stuff is a bit over the top, but some great craftsmanship on the build for sure

Good work but a hideous monstrosity.

More money than taste.
