A lot of time and work went into these...

They're probably floating around this forum already but I thought I'd share some gems that I found.

The camaro is actually a pretty clean car...minus the growth on it's nose.

Re: A lot of time and work went into these...

Here's some examples of being torn between wanting a truck and a thirdgen.

Anybody else have some "unique" builds?

HA! The silver firebird looks like something off a "Mad Max"movie. The camaro looks like something you would see on "Cribs" parked in some young rappers yard!

Not just time and work but skill! Maybe not artistic appreciation but skill.

I've recently preached to let someone do what they want to their car. The firebird has me rethinking this. You do have to draw the line somewhere I guess.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I think some beholder's eyes have cataracts.

Re: A lot of time and work went into these...

I'm kindof amazed at how many parts from so many different things are on that firebird. And those offroad lights for taillights must be blinding.

The silver car is so absurd nobody will even park beside it. Never know what'll fall off.

The third gen F-Body is a amazing looking car from the factory, its too easy to make it look terrible.

Re: A lot of time and work went into these...

That Camaro with, I think, a Bentley grill actually doesn't look too bad. I think the stock nose would look better but I've seen much worse (cough, firebird, cough... )
