what do you guys think my 97 camaro rs would look like with about a 2 inch body section?

i think you're going to need to clarify that one chief.

[dacandystore]

by section I mean take 2 inches out of the body all around so that it lowers the top half of the body, like they used to do on like the 50 mercury's and the old chevys

I think it might look a little wierd...

BUT.......


I hate to say it but what you are talking about is all sorts of hard work I am not sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

first thing to mind...

custom winshield, hatch, windows.... then all the "composite" work to get the pillars to line up etc...

I think you are looking at like a $5k+ project.

I'm very good with my hands and a welder lol, but i was just wondering what it might look like. I prolly wasn't going to do it

[shenanigans]

well weldding is great and all but it doesn't cut glass, or fix the composite whatever camaros are mostly made of [img]smile.gif[/img]

cutting glass is actually very easy, you just score it and break it, or use a glass cutter

[phantomzer0]

uhhh its not easy to score glass deep enough to just crack it...drywall is easy liek that, but not glass....

from my expereince automotive glass doesn't work the same.

Also the rear hatch is worse. Its curved glass.

yea its definetly not that easy. you wont be able to make a rear hatch.. just got to a junk yard.

sounds like an neat idea, but i wouldnt tackle it without a lot of experience. doesnt sound like you're too serious about doing it anyway... i could be wrong.

yeah, me and my buddy were just out one day coming up with crazy ideas, and I just wondered what it would look like cause I know it made some of the old rides look sweet, but i don't think the camaro would really be a tall enough vehicle to make it look good, I might just go into paintshop and see how it would look.
