so for me it looses its identity when major parts of the engineering gets replaced... things like the floor pan, subframe and bodylines need to be original...

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......

exactly my point...

im not saying it isnt a truck... im saying its YOUR truck, and not any repainted, new wheels.. pickup.. and if somone were to sell it it would say "ironworks pro touring truck" and not "68 chevy puckup" in the ads headline..... just as everyone knows the Bob Johnson cuda, or "Big Red" and yould put them up for sale as such... im not being negative, im just stating that the GM built, boby by fisher camaro, stops being body by fisher, and gm built, when somone like you puts it on their own chassis and changes the body... its an Ironworks car...

(i know it isnt a 68.. but I cant remember the year off my head, just the crazy cool chassis and stack injected engineengine)

I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one. Since Scar isn't technically a '69 Camaro, I'm going to post something that isn't technically a '69 Camaro either
