Default Here is an interesting Camaro

From their web site....

"Easyrod Kits are pre-engineered to be assembled in hours not years. Bolt, screw and glue the high quality hand laid fiberglass ’57 components to your ’93-’02 Camaro and be driving a cool, radical stylized hot rod. Simply remove the original hood, bumpers and front fenders. The fiberglass replacement hood bolts onto the stock hinges, struts, hood latch and safety catch and use the stock interior hood release. Front fenders bolt on using the stock factory bolt holes. Our trunk lid is an overlay. Door skin overlays, rear quarters and bumper cover snap on and are glued in place using 3M 8115 Panel Bonding adhesive.

Kit also includes front and rear bumpers, head lights, tail lights, everything needed to build your Belaro delivered to a business address in the U.S. $5500.00 Delivered in 4 weeks
"







Doesn't really work for me, but here is a link. I suppose if you picked up a really thrashed one for cheap, maybe..... They should have used a 56 body I think that may have flowed better.

I think it looks pretty cool. I wouldnt trash a perfectly good camaro to do it, but if you find one with body damage it would be a cool project.

Edit: Top up doesnt flow well at all.

That looks completely retarded.
I've seen someone do that with body panels from a 1st gen Camaro though and it looked badass.

I saw something like this at the rod run last year except it was a 97 camaro with the LS1 drivetrain swap with a 67 camaro front and rear end conversion, it was pretty sick

If you want a 57’ Bel Air, buy or build a real 57’ Bel Air, not some cartoon looking monstrosity. And the same thing goes for hanging 1st Gen body panels on 4th Gens.

True, but good luck finding a vert 57 BelAir.

Had a friend buy a 56 BelAir Vert for over 40k, had to go to Canada to get it, then had to pull the body off it, fix the frame, strip the body to bare metal, repaint it and install a different motor. Bout the only thing that he got for his 40k was an interior and top that was nice, and a real vert.
