this is my transmaro, camaro from the front, 86 trans am in the rear, interior is from an IROC. The color is bright platinum metallic. It has a lot of goodies on it BUT the focus of this is to let you see my hybrid f-car, If you like it, say so, if you don't, you can say something but I really won't care, but I do need your opinions though. What hood would go best on this? I was leaning toward the big block hood.

 

iroc turbo hood.

you should put GTA wheels on the back, and keep the iroc's up front.

 

i think the wrap around spoiler lines compliment the pushed out lower chin /front spoiler of the camaro,,,more pics plz

 

That really did make me laugh, and I do have a set of GTA wheels......hmmmmmmm

 

pics aren't too good, I'm a gearhead not a photographer

 

nuthern= southern term for "another one"

 

man I need to put those wheel well cover things in

 

I'm not really a fan, but good job actually sticking to your idea.

 

eh it took me a year and a half, and its still not done, and there was a 3 month period where I got mad at it and didn't touch it

 

i think it'd be cooler if you went with a 91-92 side gfx...and do away with the soiler/third brake light completely. that would look slick. along with a nice 2-3" cowl. like the one from www.championfiberglassproducts.com it's cheap too, only $300+shipping if i recall correctly.

 

nice job, verry few of these types of hybrids EVER look good. letalone match in color. you have taken this mod from "trailer park" to class. nice work as for the hood.... as long as it is not a huge cowl i think anything would look good. you now what might be neat. a standard Maro hood with firebird style nostrils. would require fab work.... but it might be worth it.

your not sellin` those GTA wheels are ya?

 

i kind of like it. good job at it. as far as a hood goes try photoshop and try different styles to see what fits best

 

You know Iam usualy against stuff like this but thats pretty damn sweet.... its gonna mess with a lot of people when its done lol..

Camaro comming Firebird going if you know what I mean

 

Eww.

 

what do you guys think about a camaro hood with the old cobra jet or stingray hood scoop? Oh and yes those wheels are for sale, they are on my s10 at the moment. And thanks for the compliments and the constructive critisicm

 

i like that, it looks sweet

 

 

So someone finally did it. And did it well.


Maybe an SS hood would work with the wing, and possibly the 91-92 GFX .

 

Very cool, name your car "half breed"



Great looking!

 

ya know right after I got the gfx painted and installed I found a 91 with those gfx (the whole car) for 250. That's the way the cookie crumbles though, dern it! I was thinking about the ram air hood but whenever I see it on a car albeit trans am or camaro, those 2 bog nostrils IMO don't go with the lines of th rest of the car, but it looks so mean that I still lust after it, I think I'ma cut a camaro stock hood so my carb will fit through it and find a scoop that I like and put it on the hood. I did find a hood that I like but no one makes them anymore, unless one of my bretheren on this site can point me in the right direction heres a pic of it.

 

this is my first post that has earned the flaming chevy bowtie, sniffle sniffle, I'm so touched

 

WOW! nice job for the hood i have all ways thought it would be cool to see a firebird power bulge hood on a camaro. for the wheels GTA wheels would be real cool i even remember in a magazine seeing GTA camaro wheels in the center it caid camaro insteed of the bird

 

They still make the hood you posted man. I have forgot the name but I am sure someone will remember it, I see if i can find it though.

 

I think the car looks pretty good for a mix and match! I think the car would look perfect if u removed the spoiler and put the same hood as the black firebird posted last by NuBird.

 

I think a nice low-rise cowl would look good, no more than 2". I doo also agree the 91-92 gfx would look better, but that is just me.

 

lol do I as I did (see cardomain page) cut hood, weld on hood. Smooth hood, make fiberglass hood, install hood.

I dunno I think its pretty bad *** project I always thought that if you mixed the back end of a firebird with the front of a camaro it would look decent, and it does. However you need a custom hood, not one of the standard cookie cutter cowl hoods everyone has.

 

i think it could turn out well. my question is did you notice that firebirds and camaros have different fender flares. camaros are boxier and firebirds are smothed. any plans to go one way or the other. it noticiable to me looking at the pics. other than that nice job.

 

yeah you guys are right everyone has those cowl hoods, if you could find that hood like the one I posted I would be forever grateful to you and will put you on my hot rod show after I show chip fooseball who's the boss HAH!

 

For some reason I do not like the hybrid f bodies, but, you did a nice job of it. I think that one looks best of all I have seen. You definately deserve two thumbs up on that.

As for the hood, I think a Ram Air 1 hood would look nice.

 

Looking at this abomination is kinda like when you can't stop staring at a morbidly obese person in the supermarket!

But...it IS the nicest Tramero I've ever seen, and I think a set of GTA wheels painted silver would really make it look nice. And maybe a late Z28 hood (91/92 style, I think).

Thanks for making me laugh!

 

I like it. I was actually thinking of the same thing, only putting the front of my 86 bird front end on my berlinetta..... the firenetta hahaha

 

Craftsmanship: A-
Style: F

In other words, lousy plan, but solid excecution. I hate the whole idea of homogenizing a thirdgen, but the quality of your work seems to be very good.

 

i like it. and i like the color a lot. i would go with the cervinis ram air hood or maybe the jongbloed. i also think black gtas would look awesome. and maybe the ss hood too.

The cervinis ram air...

 

I like it!, I was thinking of doing the same for my car, but I already have a Camaro. I want to put a 91/92 GTA rear clip on it, and chop up the camaro and firebird rear bumper to make a camaro bumper with a license plate hole that has a lip on it to mate with the GTA tail lights.

 

try
usbodysource
showcars-bodyparts
vanacorvette
the first one I know sells that hood
the second one is where I bought my daytona hood from
the third one is the company that actually made my hood

 

thats rad
i like it alot. as far as a hood, the ram air hood might look nice on it.

 

haha i've never seen something like that but i like it!!

 

can i ask you some questions about that nwc t5 behind that monsterous 383?

 

ZZ4 86 Z28 can i ask you some questions about that nwc t5 behind that monsterous 383? Sure ask away

 

LOL I like being graded. But the F was a little harsh, hows abaout a D-?

 

sorry dude. The Transmaro idea is just as bad to me as seeing a C4 corvette with a C5 body kit, or some of those C5 kits for late model mustangs. It just ain't right.

 

what was it like when you bought it? was it a fresh rebuild? how many miles ago, or how many miles if it was not rebuilt? did it work out fine without any problems driving around on the street? thanks again. also, any info that might be helpful would be great. i only have a mild 350 (zzz 350hp/385tq, with full exhaust, 2x58 tb, k&n's, etc) but im a little worried about getting a t5 and cannot afford a t56. i dont drive the car hard at all.

 

Hey a little constructive criticism here, I think the idea is cool, but yeah I think you should have used the camaro ground effects front to back, and when you get to the rear bumper cover, you would have to take a mould of the stock one. Make a new one in extra thick fiberglass and reshape the ground fx portion on it to be like the camaro ground fx. However the downside to this would be if you back into anything even lightly your bumper cover is done for. However I do think this kinda setup would flow better than your current setup. However what is done is done and still looks pretty cool.

 

I could have used the camaro gfx, but not the aero ones. I like the TAs better because they came up on the body more and gives the car they are on more of an aggressive look About the nwc T5, it had about 50000 on it when I got it, the only problem I have with it is that they don't like to shift at upper RPMs, I have been somewhat aggressive with it ever since I got the car on the road and its holding fine. I am pleased with it, I think the problem is with most of them is that people put them in their cars after being used by a few ham fistied hotrodders and then put them in their cars and after a couple burnouts it pops out of gear and such. From my research if you blueprint them, not just rebuild, they will be more durable. Mine must have been built on a wednesday, you get a monday or friday car people aren't really ready for work yet

 

man that cervinis hood is SUH WEEEET!

 

yea i know!

 

How about a regular camaro hood with the TA vents on the side and front of the hood or a power bulge like the Formulas? In other words make a camaro hood look like a TA hood or Formula hood. That will continue your hybrid theme.

 

car looks good, deffinately needs other than stock wheels and a 1.5-2" drop indeed, keep up the good work!

 

edit: double post

 

i got that same hood i love it
