Default Re: does any of you guys enjoy the pro touring style ?

I like it to a point. I think it is becoming to overly used and unfortunately people have put it on everything from camaros to neons. Like I said, I like it on cars such as Charley Lillards Jackass and the Mule but I have a feeling that sooner or later it will turn to a fad like the old PRO STREET did. I hope not but we shall see

Pro touring cars will live on and get used as most have street manners. Pro Street died because the cars were cool but 99% of them did not drive well on the street for any distance.

as for cutting up cars, we probably lost more real cars in the pro street movement than the pro touring guys.

IMO, the Dynacorn bodies are what ought to be used for Pro touring and Pro street. Leave the original Camaro bodies for enthusiasts guys who care about originality and customize to your heart's content on a Dynacorn body.

It is my understanding that there have been some changes for the better on these bodies since they first came out. BTW, you apparently didn't live through the 60s-70s to see what kind of shape NEW sheet metal from the auto manufacturers arrived in.

As far as a V.I.N. there are several different ways to get on those bodies including a State issued one. Thes bodies are probably the best starting point for a good clean, rust free body for on of these cars.

... because thats realistic.

The car in question here was not ruined. Its been given a new lease on life. Leave the poor guy alone. He is building a car he wants to enjoy. Isn't that the idea of a hot rod? So who cares he doesn't want to build a numbers matching 327/210hp PG auto Camaro? He wants to drive a cool Camaro, let him build away! I bet he'll drive it more than you drive your "show car."

A new lease on life? Did you see the condition of the car prior to the new work being done? I didn't see it as something crying out in need of attention. An honest opinion was asked for and an honest opinion was given.
