Some may disagree... but WOW. This was for sale in Switzerland...

 

Yeah, the front end of the Fbodies are long to begin with...anything that makes them even LONGER is just ridiculous. From the end of windshield to the tip of nose looks like 27 feet

But I do like the "gills" between the front wheels and the doors. I think those are ok, not the back ones, overkill.

 

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the front bumper is any longer than the one on a Firebird. It's definitely longer than a Camaro bumper, but I don't think it's so bad. I don't know the measurements.

According to an old magazine article, the front bumper reduces lift at high speeds and improves the cooling of the engine thanks to it making the Camaro breathe from the front rather than the bottom.

Believe it or not, but the gills actually have a function (yes, even the rear ones). Since the Callaway sideskirts (you may not have noticed this before--the entire lower half of the body including the lower doors is replaced) are deeper than stock on the underside, they reduce the amount of air under the car, so they improve stability sort of similar to how a Saleen S7 or Ferrari Enzo have the entire underside covered and flat. The gills are there to remove the air that would normally get trapped under the engine compartment and under the fenders, so they are actually functional even though at first look you wouldn't think so.

I'd like to get one of these someday. I've been doing research on them for years.

 

You can thank the photographer Ron Kimball for some of the best car calendars you've had for the last 15 or 20 years. Too bad he always shoots cars that aren't moving, the images are beautiful, yet boring.

 

 

Does anyone know where I can buy these headlights?

 

2 years of photograpy will make you picky. I hate seeing most driveway shots too. I can understand if you're just snapping a shot realy quick to show something, but if you're going to put it on a webpage like most people do at least go somewhere decent or different and use some different angles.

I've got a few decent shots, but I noticed later that I had a friggin shadow from a light pole across the front. These were taken on the top floor of a parking garage.

got rear pics? That's hot! My vote is b/t yours and the 30th anniversary. I love the white on white w/ orange stripes.

 

Those lights are regular halo's you can get off Ebay. You can change the bulb in the halo to whatever color LED you want. There is a write about how to do it somewhere... do a search I can't remember.

 

I like it alot.

 

I want my garage floor to look like the stage that ^^^ one is sitting on! Gorgeous!

 

I have searched through about 10 pages of results, and I couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know how to change the color of the halo in the halo headlights?

 

Go over and search LS1tech.com or ask there, It could have been there I saw the write up. Honestly it has been over a year so I can't pinpoint where it was.

 

Honestly I though that was a 1:18 scale model! Paint skeme is great
