yup.
if you look carefully at that underhood shot you'll notice that thoes arnt even 3rdgen fenderwells....... that entire front end is a 4thgen one grafted on..
besides, im sure he wont remember me, but i was talking with him one time about rear window sizes in 3rdgen verts, and when someone asked him about his car, he just said "stock 4thgen, its all stock 4thgen". or somthing to that effect.

Great car, that's one of the sleekest flame-work I've ever seen! I stopped buying Camaro Performance because the mag is basically 80% 1st gen, 15% 2nd, 4% 4th, and perhaps once a year I'd see a 3rd gen. Anyway, great work, hope to get a copy soon!

thanks guys...
the wheels are HRE's
I was disappointed that my car didn't get much attention at Bowling Green. Most people there are really into 4th gens. I'll see if I can scan the article tomorrow.
The car really means alot to me, lots of blood, sweat and tears.... oh and MONEY. Had her since new in 88
I'll try to make it to the Houston gathering, but it all depends on which date and where. If it's really close to x-mas I'll have to pass. Too many things to do with family. My wife and my parents both live out of town, so we are usually traveling.

Very nice man! I was gunna post about this, my school cut me off the internet. the Camaro mag is ok, but usualy just reposts of stuff camaro related from Super Chevy. They usualy have a 3rd gen article in there mag talking about suspension or something. That remined me, there is a street rodder mag that had a whole thing on TPI performance. Almost picked it up, but it was like a hard cover book in the mag section... too much $$$ for a mag.

Nobody has mentioned that the entire interior is a 4th gen. Dash and all.
Did Scott spend much looking the car over? He was talking about your car back in February when I spoke with him. He said he was very impressed and was telling a group of people what a great job you did. He was really excited about it.

That is very werid since the thirdgen outsold the 4thgen 10 to 1!! hehehe. I saw at SLP day a 2nd gen with the same thing you did, total 4th gen front clip with fender wells, radiator mounts, with 4th gen AC, and ABS brakes system, all 4th gen interior, and C5 brakes, front and rear. It was very nice looking. It was a TA by the way. It was very fantastic. Guy had custom made caliper brackets made.

Awsome job man. I took my summer vacation to the vette factory/museum this summer with my dad, fun trip. When is the camaro gathering there, i smell a roadtrip! The f body gathering here in ga is about the same lots and lots of 4 gen and not alot of anything else! Also they sell the Camaro Performer magazine at Quick Trip, im not sure if all of them but i usually see it there.

Hey fatal, i picked up the Camaro mag, and some ***** kid looking at some import mag looked over to my mag as i was looking at your car and was like... whoa that thing looks bad ***! Im like yeah, its got tons of work in it. I told him about the LS1 swap and interior and he was like 
.. maybe your car and I have converted a r*cer to domestic land. We can only hope thoes who have crossed over to the dark side.

Hey Fatal, I saw your car at the SLP Customer Appreciation day in Ennis last February. I brought my digital camera and took quite a few pics of it....before I knew about TGO. I must admit...the car's amazing man! Great job!!
