And now for something a little different...

Hey everyone,

A local guy in town came up with a pretty wild kit that might appeal to some of you and turn off some others... Maybe the big car guys will like it or the El Camino guys...

I don't think I would build one myself but it does look pretty cool in person!

The wild thing is the "donor" vehicles used for the projects!!! Here's a list of the "donor" cars used for the project's frame, front cab, and running gear:

1983 - 1985 Pontiac Parisienne 4 Dr
1980 - 1984 Buick 4 Dr full size
1980 - 1981 Pontiac 4 Dr full size
1980 - 1984 Olds 4 Dr Station Wagon
1985 - Olds Custom Cruise 4 Dr Wagon
1980 - 1984 Chevy Caprice 4 Dr and Wagons
1985 - 1990 Chevy Caprice 4 Dr
1986 - Pontiac Parisienne 4 Dr
1987 - 1988 Pontiac Safari Wagon
1986 - 1988 Olds Custom Cruise Wagon
1986 - 1988 Buick Estate Wagon

He came up with his own design, built his fiberglass molds (the front kinda looks like a Camaro!), and fitted it to one of these frames. They even had a show on the Speed Channel a few months back where they participated in a contest to build a complete car and painted it in just 7 days... (The one that has the kinda Nascar paint job was the one done for the Speed Channel show).

Whatcha think??? If nothing else, I appreciate his creativity...

HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES:



















CHECK OUT HOW THE REAR WING IS ATTACHED TO THE SLIDING BED COVER!! Neat idea!
