I especially appreciate the satellite dish on the roof . . .
Easyrod Kits are pre-engineered to be assembled in hours not years. Bolt, screw and glue the high quality hand laid fiberglass ’57 components to your ’93-’02 Camaro and be driving a cool, radical stylized hot rod. Simply remove the original hood, bumpers and front fenders. The fiberglass replacement hood bolts onto the stock hinges, struts, hood latch and safety catch and use the stock interior hood release. Front fenders bolt on using the stock factory bolt holes. Our trunk lid is an overlay. Door skin overlays, rear quarters and bumper cover snap on and are glued in place using 3M 8115 Panel Bonding adhesive. [thanks to FW for the link]

LOL @ F-body faux.
I’m preeettttttyyyyyy sure that satellite dish is way in the background.
Guess the “Americanized” Bugatti a few posts ago that everyone bitched about wasn’t so bad after all.
As someone who has owned 2 57 chevies in his youth, that just makes me want to cry, or commit arson.
Looks like a ’57 Chevy mated with a ’57 De Soto. The kids were not nearly as good looking as either of the parents. Bad match! Blech.
God that’s revolting.
I’m waiting for the Easyrods Chrysler Airflow front clip for the PT Cruiser.
Whoa…easy stomach…look away!
Why? The Camaro looks shitty enough as it is. That’s just silly.
It is not easy to equally offend fans of the Camaro and of the 57 Bel Air, but I think this car does it. I’m offended and I don’t even like F bodies or 57 Chevs all that much. Makes me realize that all the VWs with Rolls Royce grilles that we used to see in the 70s were not as bad as we thought.
The biggest problem is what lies underneath: any given 93-02 Transcamaro.
This type of thing is really geared toward the Great Mobile Homes of Mississippi crowd:

That gives “tacked on” styling a whole new meaning.
So, when I attach the new “better” parts, should I use wood screws?
Every now and then I catch some yahoo driving a Fieroerarri, a strange looking beasty of a GT-50 on a Fiero GT frame.
This explains the C1 Corvette body I saw on a C5 Corvette two weekends ago at the KCI autoshow. What’s next? Putting a 55 Speedster on a 924? How bout a Merc Gullwing on a ’79 Fairmont? Is nothing sacred?
WTF
That’ll look really sweet next to the double-wide…
If this car could talk, it would sound like that disfigured genetic experiment on Aliens III
“KKKKKIIIILLLLL MMMMMMEEEE”
Wow, that’s terrible. None of the lines match up properly.
That’s what I first thought when referencing the Great Mobile Homes of Mississippi web site.
Then I looked at the price of one of these: $5600. That prices it out of that market.

The creators of this monstrosity just might.
I’m embarrassed to admit that that’s pretty badass.
Crap, I would find this AFTER eating lunch…
Dangers of inbreeding.
WTF?!?!?!?!? :O
Never underestimate the poor taste of the general public.
It looks like it was designed by the French auto industry…
Wow! I must say, it looks better than the Bugatti….of course, that’s like saying it’s the healthiest patient in the Intensive Care Unit.;)

How to add weight to your Camaro.
Not just ugly, it also makes the car noncompliant with applicable Federal safety standards. In most states vehicle owners aren’t held liable for making such mods, but commercial operations (i.e., shops) are. Just at a glance, I see at least two safety regs violated, and that’s counting all violations of a type as one violation (all the lighting violations as one, both bumper violations as one, etc.). There are probably more.
Ow, ow ow! My eyes! My eyes! My brain really hurts now.
It’s like some sort of Terry Gillam animation.
The Dr. Timothy Leary Design Studios called; they want their design back.
Shouldn’t the Cat In The Hat be driving?
re: Daniel J. Stern –
Do you really think the proud owner of this plastic fantastic really cares bout safety? This is the car Joe Dirt really wanted.
All cars should be built like this. Car manufacturers should just provide a skeleton-mobile, nice and safe and awesome, then bolt on and glue on the body panel set that you want.
Oh, wait, I just described Saturn. I guess their “you can have any plastic body you want, as long as it’s this one” approach didn’t work. Can you imagine how successful they might have been if they still had plastic-bodied cars when the whole customization trend thing kicked off?
(and if they weren’t run by GM?)
“It burrrns us! It BURRRNS us!!! (Gollum)
I always rooted for Godzilla as he stomped around Tokio.
of course its sitting broken down in some hick’s front lawn.
Its still a Camaro!
This dude needs to spend less time on the Camaro and more time mowing his lawn!
Probably not going to help much but what’s it look like with the top down?
>>Probably not going to help much but what’s it look like with the top down?<<
Even more stupid?
@fincar: Chrysler Airflow Fiberglass kit for the PT Cruiser?
Don’t get me excited. That would surely be a more cohesive look than this thing. you may be on to something……
Sometimes I see what I expect to see and not what is really there. I think I’m not the only one who does that.
Trailer Park Trash!!
what’s right with it?
At first I saw this as pretty low-hanging fruit for witty comment stimulation material.
But after all the one-sided piling on about the car
I looked at it again.
I just can’t, by nature, dutifully fall in line on every issue so…
I’m okay with it-not something I’d own but it would definitely get you noticed in the 2009 sea of automotive blandness.
Looks like some kind of Toon-car in-car-nate…
But in the end, isn’t beauty in the eye of the beholder, and here the basic idea is not much different from that of the Jag XJ220, but just at a different price point, and for a less well-heeled crowd, namely novelty, and FUN?
But, but, but it’s the fact that it’s the wrong body/chassis combo. Putting it on something like a 4 door sedan *might* look ok but this thing is a travesty. Wrong lines, bad shapes … it’s just too weird to work.
That gen of F body was not the best for adaptation. Now, the new Camaro might have some legs to it but again, it has to be a logical fit like, maybe, a first gen Camaro body style instead like was pictured here a few months ago.
I think the color doesn’t help, if the hood was more even (instead of rising toward the windshield) that car may not look so bad…change the mirror too…i find that interesting, no big company can give you these looks but the after market can…(think of the Holden effigy)…could it be bad cx?

And it’s even worse when it’s made from the coupe.

And then there’s their kit for turning a late model Cougar or T’Bird into a ’49 Ford…

It don’t look half bad with the top down and viewed from the side…kinda rakish.
Quick! Where’s my eye bleach?
“Pretty ugly” doesn’t do this justice. Might have worked a bit better on the ’82 version. The Opel Vectra side mirror fairings that begin on the front fenders are the major hang-up.
Now a C1 Corvette kit (complete with contrasting side-coves) might work better with this car’s low build profile. But the sum will never equal/exceed the cost of the donor car and price of the kit.
I mean c’mon…NO QUESTION the satellite dish is on the roof. So are the two trees to the left.
Ohhhh…ohhhh, that hurts. That’s not very good at all. I need to go look at some Alfas now.
