Did you actually cut up a camaro door and a trans-am door, and put them together??? Can't see from pictures.. but it looks like something like that happened...


To comment above: it's a ZWS

I'm sorry guys but I differ.


why the hell would you do this? I mean, the work on it is obviously great...but what the hell!?! You buy the firebird for the looks of it (camaro for the looks of it too...)...honestly, the rearend of a WS6 or Formy looks 100000x better than the rear of a camaro IMHO. Even flipped around with the camaro front, this thing would look like pamela anderson with a *****



how the hell would you not want to keep that?!

If there was every a tranny of the car world, this would be it

Very interesting.. I like the hatch, it's different, but when you look at it from the side it doesn't match up. Can't wait to see it finished!

Great work! One suggestion, loose the camaro indentation along the door line and smooth that out. Right now it looks like it just stops midway, then the trans am lower body line takes over. Nice to see someone stepping away from what everyones perception of what our cars "should" look like. Dare to be different and make it a reflection of you. So far it looks like you are pulling off exactly what you intended to do. I'm waiting to see her all done.
