Strange Birds

The company that makes the 50 ford/thunderbird kit is called easyrods. Here is a link to a lode of pictures of finished cars. If you go to thier home page there are some cool pics of a 57 chev kit that is applied to a Camero.

Interesting but I don't think that 57 looks right... So I could take my Camaro which looks like this.



and make it look like this?



I don't think it flows right, but it would be one way to get a cheap good driving 57. I think it might have worked better if they had use a 55 or 56 Belair body.

Actually what might work would be an Olds Dynamic 88 body line...

well, RustyNCa....personally, Im diggin' the 57 conversion of the camaro .... we keep this stuff up and Coral might end up looking like something else...

JUST KIDDING <I could hear gasps from around the world>

Yeah, I agree they shouldn't have run the C5 corvette wheels on it.

And again I agree the old Dynamic bubble tops are nice. I have a friend in the middle of building one.

His won't remotely stock however. He is running a twin turboed LS-6 with a six speed auto, C5 running gear on an Art Morris chassis.

Here are some photos he has sent me of it.

Canīt figure out why some think an old body looks better with new wheels In my opinion, it dates the car way to much as wheels are so short term modern. Like Radios / CDīs etc.
Like tatoos You can usally see when it was done by the symbol / picture...

those tires don't even make sense on that car....

That '57 Chevy is actually a late model (Generation 4) Camaro with a body kit made by Easy Rods, I think. Interesting, but the proportions are odd.

The Olds would have looked better with more of the chrome left on it. Wheels are too modern and too small.

I think the cars of '55 - '65 look fabulous with some larger wheels, but only if they are the right kind. Boyd, Foose and American Racing all make wheel styles in modern sizes that compliment the old styling. These cars drip with style, some new alloys and lowering and they look fantastic.
