Camero Turkey Carcass worth a look!

A lot of talent there when the Camero ragtop was stripped down to a inner shell only it look like a turkey carcass

Take a look at photo #6 & #7 you'll see what i mean, it's worth your time

From the ground up

I hope I can find it. I think it was on the HAMB where someone posted a link to a completely rebuilt car done over in the Netherlands someplace. It was, oh maybe a 1938 Packard Sedan or something like that. They COMPLETELY rebuilt the thing, even the military spokes on the wheels. It wasn't a true restoration because they made some modern improvements but in the end the thing was beautiful and drove even better than origainally, there was even a video of it tearing up the road. If anyone knows what I am referring to help me find it, I will be looking myself for it as well.

Looked more like just the wishbone after he sandblasted it!

All I can say is WOW!

That really does prove that with enough skill, time, patience, tools and money, any old car can be restored!
I hope that happened to an old '71 CS 'vert' that I looked at early last year...

Wouldn't the Dynacorp repro body have been cheaper?

Richard,

Looks like your work. Are you sure you didn't do this in your sleep one night last week?

Not any more:

And I got it wrong. The company is Dynacorn, not Dyancorp.
