dick harrell body style Ever since I've owned my 01 SS and saw the 02 Dick Harrell Camaro, I've been envious of the cosmetic appearance of them.. I know the obvious differences being the widened rear quarters/fenders, the spoiler, and hood; what other body difference is there besides it being a painted hard-top. Is the rest of the car widened as well, or not?
Also, is the cowl hood that Sunoco makes the same style that is on the Harrell Camaro's?
I'm sure some will probably flame me for this, but to each their own; however, I would like to for lack of better words, clone mine to that of the Harrell Camaro (without the decals & logos of course since it would not be a true Dick Harrell Edition Camaro).
What would it take to do this, and how hard would it be? From what I know, the fenders are indeed rolled, but to what extent and how would it be done? What else would need to be done?

I saw a link in a post in this section regarding a company having a kit for purchase. I think it was $2500 for the whole body kit. Just do a search for camaro wide body. If I had a Camaro I would definitely lay down the cash for this mod.

I didn't really ready your question; I'm just assuming it's the same that gets asked a few times a year.
The hood is made by Sunco (sponsor). The widebody fenders were created on the DH cars; they are not replacement fenders. No one makes them or the facia.
So, you can buy the hood, maybe have a good body guy do the wide fenders, but you still wont have the facia.

Also, any suggestions to how the best way to work on the fenders would be?
This would be the correct hood right?

the ones off ebay fit like crap and you have to put the body lines in yourself. someone did them on here. do a search theres about a million threads regarding this topic. the quarters arent rolled either they are fiberglassed onto the exsisting quarter. w2w when they were around did a 1993 camaro with flared quarters in the back but thats extremely labor intensiv(100 hours from what im told) and about 8000.

if you look closely you can see where it was trimed. this allows you enough room to mold them in and still keep factory lines/seams.

I know of a guy on another forum that did his own take on the rear fenders. Give me a second and I'll find the thread for you...
Edit: Here the link is, let me know if you can't see the pictures. Its some custom work, but it gives you and idk. Btw he does his own paint and body work.

they fit pretty decent but they need to be modified some. removing roughtly 1.5" from entire quarter minus wheelwell and adding hte body line isnt all that bad

this is also a great weight reduction mod for the front end.
try searching widebody in the appearance section as well

. Why would you just flare the top? That car would look way better if he tapered the flare down the front and back edge of the wheel well opening. I really like the DH cars though. The quarter panels on those cars are way different then what that guy did.

As far as I know, Mark (6litereater) is making the front facia for our cars. You can already get the sunoco hoods, but the fenders are going to be the real pain to find.
You can look around on his forum, and he's a sponser on here.

good read on the making and history of the cars. you also better plan and planting some more horsepower under the hood. i believe the lowest output car was 400.

I hope those aren't rivets holding that quater on, and if they are I REALLY hoping that you are gonna remove them and actually weld it on. Cause if you just bondo over them it is gonna shrink up and yoiu will see them.

Im not sure of any bodyshop that uses bondo, I have used Duraglass and Rage on the quarter and will be using Icing once its time.
