widened fenders, minitubs etc is fine as ling as its modified camaro pieces, piecutting, sectioning, chopped roof or whatever kustomcar trick is played will IMHO change it from being a camaro.. to bearing the name of whoever built it...
So its OK to cut up certain parts but not others. So was Smokie Yunicks Chevellle not a Chevelle. Or how about Big Red, is that a Camaro. Or was Bob Johnsons Cuda not really a Cuda.

This whole argument is like saying my truck is not a truck since it has no bed floor......
