Default Crazy idea: TRANSMARO conversion yeah or nay
Saw a few pics and I think they look kinda cool. Would this be a cool mod or just look stupid.

I say yes...I like the idea, and I would surely like the work involved. Many people will flame it but the fact that you can take the camaro and line up a T/A front end (+ body work) is really cool. And for those out there in the regular world that know f-bodies, i'm certain it would catch them off guard seeing one of these in person.

So, my OP, cool if you got the time and $$$, but thats a big NA for a DD.
