I like the hell out of it, it is different and there will always be a lot of people saying they hate it right now because of the idea, but wait til they see the finished product and see how many say, "well, at first I hated it, but it looks good now"....

looks ok to me. I'm sure that a good paint job would make it blend well. Camaro *** with a kick your *** WS6 face. Not my cup of tea, but I'd still sport it.

I like the fact that you are doing it yourself. It's not like you're posting the progress shots of someone else doing the work for you. You may or may not be getting help, but it looks like you're putting a lot of your own time, effort and sweat into the project and I commend you for that.

Keep up the hard work and I can't wait to see the results.

I think painted gunmetal that thing would look sick,also the hatch is growing on me. Those rear flares are just amazing they turned out great, I like eveything about this bulid but that maybe because I am a bodyman myself.

keep it up and lets see some updates!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't look like it has TA fenders. It looks like they were trying to mimic the opening on the c5 vette fender.

I like the hatch...keep up the good work and post up some pics when you are done. I thought about getting that hatch at one time for a more secure trunk area...didn't want to deal with painting.

I think the car is sweet. Keep up all the great work. I think it is so cool that you have this idea and you are making it a reality.

its really not my thing, but im glad to see someone doing something different, and actually DOING it, not just throwin money at someone to take care of it. guys that know how to do **** are a dyin breed.

so far your work looks pretty solid, and youve spent a fair share of time on it...hope it turns out like you want. with the right coat of paint, it might actually be pretty badass..

im not saying i dont like it, i want to see a finished product before i decide... even if i do...**** me, its your car...


.....its kinda like the third sequel to a horror movie, itll be really good or really bad, and theres no in between...
