"Since fourth-gen F-bodies are built on a 101-inch wheelbase, the underbody is lengthened 7 inches during assembly to match the 108-inch wheel-base used on '69 Camaros."
Not sure where exactly its extended though. The reasoning was, that you can use any original 1st gen body panel without modification(to the panel)

I hate those things so bad. They're like Fieros being turned into Lamborghinis. The windshield and roof do NOT look good with the first gen parts.
Looks like a Corvair being driven backwards from the side.
Somebody post a picture of a coupe from the side, so we'll really gag

It really does look like a Corvair being driven backward. I've seen these before, and just like Brangeta, I hate the way the windshield looks in relation to the first gen bodywork.

yeah those retro rod on a modern chassis cars look weird. There is a company that does 49-51 fords on 89-97 tbird chassis too.
even the avanti went to a firebird chassis in the late 90s or early 2000s and looks out of place
convertible
t-top
