I think the Raptor hood would compliment the lines a bit better than the WS6 hood. Seems like it would match up with the Camaro's more subtle look. And actually, thinking about the lines and being subtle... I wonder what a project like this would look like with the Firebird/Formula front bumper instead... considering the Z28 and Formula are essentially the same car... hm....

I nominate this thread to go into the appearance hall of fame, as so many people view it and it really is one of a kind. Takes alot of work to think of something like that but even more to do it. props to you for going out on your own and doing something different!

Default checking memory

Anyone remember another car that was a product of someone's originality? I'm thinking something in the range of Corvette or Thunderbird even. Both turned into American icons in the automotive industry. These are all products of someone's ingenuity and inability to 'just stick with what was there'. I personally don't love it, but it's not my project...oh and EVERYONE will look at this thing wherever he takes it, no matter if they love or hate it.
One other thing; What do internet fighting and the special olympics have in common? anyone?
