hate the hatch but love the idea, you should flare the back fenders like the DH camaros and throw on some big tires. It would compliment the roundness of thefron TA fenders. ANd maybe make an inlet for the exhaust. here is a pic of Pheonix's exhaust set

You know, I had thought about this at one point myself, but with all the work involved I changed my mind real fast. I like it. Very unique car and should make for one hot little ride.

Oh and I'll be different, I actually don't mind the notch back. Those notches are so expensive very few people have them, but if they were cheaper they might be more common.

Oh have you considered calling this thing a Fiaro "Like Fiero" But Fi-rebird and Cam-aro.

Question Interesting

I like the originality, but the camaro body just doesn't fit the aggressive styling of the Trans Am. May look better once painted.

It's definately different. I personally don't think that rear is any better looking than the rear that is supposed to go with that front, but +1 for originality.
