I am not one for altering the exterior of these beautiful cars, but this guy seems to have put a lot of work in to this one. I just wanted to share with you all what I found.

Its way cool in its own way. I like the "airyness" of the roof and length.
I've never seen a stretched 3rd gen. Have you?
He needs more pics of the underside.

remeber true pimps drive long long cars, as Snoop says

Seems like alot of work for a halfassed result. I like the headlight openings, but they seem just a little too narrow. Looks kinda mean though. I give him an E for effort.

if it had GFX it wouldn't look as fruity.

I also give him the E for effort.

It looks like it has a real Edelbrock 415hp crate motor. Hell, I'd buy it for the parts!!

Absolutly! Buy it just for the parts! $4500 for a 415hp 350, 9" rear w/locker, 4-wheel Wilwood discs, Richmond 5-speed! Then part the rest of it out.

Gotta admit, I NEVER, EVER, thought about chopping the top.

I don't like the styling of the car too much but i think it's cool to see a thirdgen done up as the old hot rod's are. You don't see much radical customization when it comes to late model cars, i realize that's because of the unibody construction but i'm sure customizers could find ways around it. If the roof extended out to where the B-pillar would be i think it wouldn't be a bad looking custom car when finished.

I agree and ground fx could help. I've thought of completely getting rid of the headlight pockets and using just a big set of hellas in the mouth. some one has to explore the possibilities before the number of useable cars dwindle and the price goes through the roof.
