OK, I might be in the minority here, but I think it's almost totally bad-***. After trying to play around a bit with some metal fabrication, I've got a real respect for anyone who can do even a halfway good job with it. It may not be everyone's "cup of tea" but d@mn, you've gotta admit, it's creative as hell!

Great concept, maybe it looked better on paper not in function. EVERYTHING is great BUT the windshield doesn't fit! Think we all agree there.

Yeah that is bizzare I kept looking at it, parts look good but overall it is just too weird. I think the rake on the windsheild and the rounded off back end is what spoils it.

I completely agree, but that doesn't stop it from being dead ugly.

Yea the Mustang looks ALOT better.

There is alot of work here in the Camaro, but it doesn't flow right..the Roof and Windshield kill it.

Atleast they could've done a LS1 Front Brake swap..
