I could tell that the brown one was bad and weird but the lens they shot it with was apparently doing a ton of work because that one looks loving awful. I don't understand why they would even build these.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


There is a company that does convertible conversions on Challengers and they look bad and can only imagine how bad it drives.

God drat that is ugly. Would it have been so hard to stretch those little "fake vent" stampings in the front part of the doors vertically so they look kind of in proportion to the slab sides of that monstrosity?

I never noticed there was so much visual flab above the top of the side window on the nu Challenger. I think this image has ruined all 21st Century Challengers for me.

It looks like that area's been modified to emulate the flying buttresses on the old Charger. The new Challengers height and high beltline sticks out even more now. A longer nose and trunk would help with the proportions.

Tell him about the blower!



Wouldn't it be easier (and definitely better looking) to just put the classic body on the newer chassis, and transplant the improved bits of the interior and such? Maybe the entire firewall, possibly floorpan of the new truck to get the fitment for AC and stuff.

Motronic posted:

They're buying fender/door/bed skins (and presumably hoods) from a place that apparently makes poo poo like that for these trucks. It was mentioned in one of the articles on the other trucktraption they made.

So like, re-skinning a door is not a big deal for any competent body shop. That's easy enough. What's really difficult is believing that there is enough of a market for these panels that someone is producing them. I'm assuming it's all JC Whitney-adjacent, which means those things are probably made out of tinfoil-thickness sheet steel.

The article said LMC truck, which should be fine.
The early Chevy trucks are almost as popular as Tri-five Chevys and musclecars, maybe more so. There is definitely a market for replacement panels.


I.... don't hate it. I don't know why.

Failson posted:

I don't hate the front end, and shooting brakes are always welcome, but it ALL just ends up looking like a knockoff of a Texaco toy car. Again, that's another thing I should like, but... Okay, you know what, no, it's a fun mutt.



Yeah. I like the proportions. The only real issue to me is the greenhouse looking too modern, and even then, it's not the worst.

Crankit posted:

I'm saying wrong thread on this

Yeah, that's nowhere near as egregious as a lot of them attempts at a rebody. Somehow, that doesn't even look as slab-sided as the Challenger it's based on.

Raluek posted:

this thing really emphasizes how fat the modern challengers are. section a foot out of the middle of the car to take care of those slab sides, and it could be good

you see the classic lines, but then the styling stops as it gets further down and its just stretched out cause theres still another foot of car there that shouldnt be

right thread as gently caress

... you're not wrong about the sides on the Challenger. This thing hides it a bit better, I think.

People with trucks like that don't put them in 4 wheel drive, so even if they know how to it doesn't happen enough to work reliably when they try it. There's always some servo (or vac solenoid on fords) that has gone bad and you don't find out until you actually need 4 wheel drive. Not that it would have done much with bald mallterrain tires.

The old body is much smaller than the new chassis.

That does look great. I'd love to get one, but buying a car is probably a bit silly right now,. How is the stereo in it though? I think outside of ride quality, the stereo would be my biggest concern moving from my gti.

Those suckars are faaaast, how did you catch it?

He was going 38 on that 35 road between the two retirement villages. He was playing Springsteen Born to Run loud.

Now imagine the conversation with Ferrari badges on my yellow Miata

Wow! Good for you! How did you catch it? Those suckars are faaast.

I got him driving 38 on that 35 road between those two retirement villages. He was playing Springsteen Born to Run loud.

I told him his was the first Ferrari I ever bagged.

The geezer driving it kept saying it wasn't a Ferrari but it said Ferrariata right on the dash and had a Ferrari special edition plague signed by one of those Ferrari guys on the dash. I said do you think I am dumb?
