Easyrod Kits are pre-engineered to be assembled in hours not years. Bolt, screw and glue the high quality hand laid fiberglass ’57 components to your ’93-’02 Camaro and be driving a lame attempt at mimicking a cool hotrod.

Who the hell...and why??? there's a full gallery of these abominations at their website

The top pic is of a thunderbird version of their kit. Looks pretty bad. The Camaro kit does not look that bad if you were looking for an old hot rod kit. Now why would you change the outer appearance but keep the factory wheels. Here is a better pic of a complete kit.

I honestly think the T-bird one isn't half bad, and actually an improvement over the original body.

The camaros on the other hand.. just.. wat.

That isn't too bad, but the rest are horrid.

Without the fins, IMO that'd be passable as something with taste. Make it a vert, and someone might have something after doing some real fiberglass work to the body panels.

Each to his own I guess. But I bet the company selling these are making a killing.

I've seen a 4th gen with a wannabe Lambo kit.

Those few guys here who live in El Paso might know what I'm talking about. That car was infamous (at least on my part of town)

When you can turn a $3200 1995 Ford T-Bird LX/Merc Cougar into a machine like that.. 7500 bucks may be worth it for almost a whole car. Throw in a wrecker driveline, rear end, and a 5.4L V8 S/C and I don't care what you think..

You're looking at major WTFing right there. Not to mention the rear and front end will be mostly fiberglass rather than totally steel. So fixing should be an easy sand, patch, prime, and repaint if you ding it. IMO, if I had the cash, I would make one of these my DD to just throw people into a loop.

Mind you, after seeing the interior of late 90s Cougars and T-Birds..there is potential there.

Hey, if you dig it, it's cool. To my eyes the F-bod was turned into the F'ed up body.

But I'm not talking about F-bodies. There's the rare exception, but most did look like ass. Now the Mercs and T-Bird mods..

There's an improvement.
