Anyone see the sweetest new body mod for the 4th gen f-car?
 
haha I couldnt find it again on eBay, but my father sent me a link to the funniest body kit I have ever seen. It's a conversion kit to make a 4th gen f-car look like a '57 chevy and its the most rediculous thing I've seen in a while. You have the famous '57 fins on the back, but you retain the original camaro tail, don't block it off haha just looks like a camaro w/ wings from the back. If anyone finds it, please post the link so we can all share in its shame, and humor haha.

I always thought that the 4th gen in to a 1st gen Conversion kit shown in Chevy High performance was pretty interesting.

I like how there are no actual shots of its use. Just renderings (and poor ones at that).

thats because nobody in this world could ever think that it looks good or even is worth $5000... booo that man for making that...

that 4th to 1st gen conversion is actually really kool... becuse it completely looks like a 69... not a 69 with a 02 roof and windows and doors... its alot of work to make that tho.. i was reading they sectioned the floor to lengthen it and stuff...not really a job you can do in your driveway... if you know what i mean... kool tho

you guys hijacked my thread of shame and actually showed something cool looking haha. Not sure I would convert a 4th gen to a 1st, why not just get a real 1st?

WildBillyT 04-19-2007 06:16 PM

Retro Rides hybrid unibody is pretty cool...

ins0mnia24 04-19-2007 06:25 PM

$21,500 for the assembled body properly aligned and gapped correctly for it to be set on a 4th gen chasis

You have to view this link then go to Retro Rides Bodies and prices

***** that, I'd rather spend 25K on a new dynacorn body and all pro touring suspension from Chassisworks.

WayFast84 04-19-2007 06:36 PM

thats actually a good 1st gen kit, it took me a while to figure the only differences where the doors and other little things.

I remember seeing a 4th gen ls1 with a 69 kit, that had round fenders and the windsheild line and a hatch..

You won't know if it's a "good" kit until you are into the build, IMO. There are plenty of horror stories about the Dynacorn and other repro bodies to really push people away. Think "parts not fitting even though they are made by the same company".

BigAls87Z28 04-20-2007 05:54 PM

Wow...that 4th to First kit is pretty damn cool!! Makes me want a 4th gen....sorta.

qwikz28 04-20-2007 11:33 PM

i'd definately like to do that to my own car. best of both worlds if you ask me :)
