lol I know, i just think my drawings look odd with normal size tires. Every car I've drawn is like that.

i like the big tires...if Pontiac would have built a retro GTO instead of the non descript egg of a car, they would still be in business today...

Excellent drawing. I agree, just a little smaller grille and you nailed it !!

Very similar to this 68 that someone posted.

That seems like it's based on the 2nd gen though, which is what i was trying to stray away from.

My biggest beef with the modern trans am conversions is they change the side of the camaro very little. In the front and back it looks trans am but the side still screams camaro. You should draw up a side view of your idea. Looks pretty cool so far.
