Default Got Bored Chopped a 5th Gen Bird

So, I was looking at Kevin Morgan's Trans Am concept that they built and it made me want to do a quick little Photochop.

Not a bad rendition. Just don't do a shitty looking rear on it

The 'shop looks great but on a side note: People have to think out of the box when it comes to building a Trans Am Concept off the Camaro chassis. I noticed everyone jus' tinkles with a few of the body parts. Change the grille a lil' bit, add a spoiler, add a cowl and a big vinyl bird on the hood and it's a Trans Am?

^^^ that's pretty much all the 4th Gens did just sheet metal and a dash Also why is everybody hell bent on a 2nd Gen bird on a first gen based Camaro? Why not just build a 1st Gen Firebird version?

It's a bit different than the Camaro, it's shorter and wider. Different side mirrors, flared front fenders, obviously lower front grill and beak. It's just way easier to design one off of the Camaro.

if you really get bored maybe play around with dual headlights, maybe have the fog lights close to each other like a 4th gen TA. I Love the break in the grill!

Until someone copies this instead of a 2nd generation, it'll look like crap.
