Hmmmm, 4th gen 69 Camaro conv?

This took quite a bit of work but it just doesn't quite work for me. I think it's the lower door body line that don't match up with the quarter panels. But other than that, it's pretty close.

4th Gen 69 Camaro

What the hell are those extra lights????


I've seen a bunch of these types of conversions. I don't get it other then to say I did it. Ther are better ways to do a 1st gen. There are so many cool parts out there.

The hood on this one looks way to high compared to the trunk.

Ewww. I've never been a fan of the "conversion" kits.

For what it took to match up panels and such, it seems like it'd be just as easy to pro-tour a real 69. Probably not much more expensive either.

That red car was some serious business. I don't think that half as much work went into the yellow car. Looks like they just fabbed on some fenders/quarters and gave it a paint job. It just looks wrong.
