Wow

I was looking at the chevy performance website, and this company made a kit where u can put the body of a 1st Gen maro on a fourth gens chasis. I might get that kit cause it will be alot cheaper than fixing a first gen up and u get the performance and technology of a fourth gen.

why though?

well it's alot cheaper than restoring a first gen. Think about everything u would have 2 do to upgrade a 1st gens technology to a fourth gens? And how much money that would cost.

Ya i was reading about that in chevy high performance...it seems bad ass and when i am done with the third gen...thats what ill be doing next. Here is the link to Chevy High Perfomance

yeah, but everyone who sees the interior will know it's not a first gen...i will give you it does look very cool, but pointless i think.

sweet, very sweet indeed

All u do is tell them that u swapped the interior.

the idea sounded kind of stupid to me at first but.. wow. plus the advantage of modern technology and convenience. i wouldnt have a problem with the interior not being any different. kinda cool i guess.

it is cool...any idea on cost?

I just don't like how they are hacking up first gen cars to donate the pilars. They should have replcas made.

Not too overly keen about 'stretching the floor 7 incheches either on a unibody frame either.

This was in Hot Rod after the SEMA show too.

that whole 7 inch extention is what kills it for me

hmm, this reminds me of the 500E mustangs. It might be worth it for all the added technology. I still say it matters on the cost of this conversion whether or not to do it.

i bet it's hella expensive

If that's so, It's probably not worth it. I'd like to see it done though!

F that would be sweet to have that body style but everything new and sweet

If I had six figures in my bank account then I'd go for it. It would be something different and unique. Almost one of a kind. Especially if you're into the older muscle car appearance but don't want to sacrifice the technology and luxury of a newer car. I just find it incredible that they're able to convert all of that though, it's definately a nice work of art.

they have a thing about it in chevy high performance, june 2006 issue. page 28

Thats pretty crazy and really convienient especially if you are planning to get a 1st gen and then throw all the 4th gen parts in there, which alot of people are doing.

yeah, it's nice if you like the older styling more than the new, but for me I'm more into the modern looks, so to each his own I guess..
