Springer 02-02-2004, 04:56 PM Got a quick look at a interesting El Camino coming the other direction on the road home from work today. It looked like about a 1982 El Camino with a 82 Camaro front clip! Don't know all that much about 5th gen. Elkys. Is that modification possible? Looked pretty cool, maybe I'll see it again and get a better look. 8) CHVYPWR 02-02-2004, 05:25 PM Check out our members rides section!! 8) http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album87&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php ElkyPete 02-02-2004, 05:29 PM Lauren Engineering has lots of really neat 5th gen add ons. http://www.laureneng.com/flash/images/xt2_w_car.jpg Lumina Front end for 5th gens. Camaro-ish http://www.laureneng.com/flash/Images/L33.JPG Choo Choo-ish http://www.laureneng.com/flash/Images/L35A.JPG Springer 02-02-2004, 05:38 PM :) Yeah! Thats it! That one is much nicer than the one I saw! But the same basic car! First thing I did after getting home was check the members rides, but there were so many of them I didn't know where to look in the 5th gen, thanks for finding it for me! :oops: John Harris 02-02-2004, 05:43 PM Hey Terry -- that Camaro IROC style front clip is so simple, even I was able to do it! Everything is a straight bolt-on, with only minor tweaking and sanding required. My fiberglass unit was built by Crystalite Engineering in So. Cal in the late 1980's. Those molds were taken over by Lauren Engineering who now sells them and the front end costs about $1400 or so, plus painting. The rear bumper and lights are another $600. and the ground effects are about $250. The people at Lauren are very helpful, especially Dave Monk, the president. You can see their on-line catalogue at www.laureneng.com ElkyPete 02-02-2004, 05:58 PM I have the IROC or Stage II setup complete for my 5th Generation. The "Choo Choo-ish front clip" (80 model) They also have interior stuff and other goodies for that year range (78 - 87) Elky_DeeT 02-02-2004, 11:03 PM it would be cool to do a front end clip of an 81 camaro or maybe even older liek the 66 camaro and make it an el-camaro ive got an 81 camaro .. i always thohgt of sticking the front end on an elky Dan theelcaminofactory 02-03-2004, 01:01 AM 66? 8O Lauren makes some neat stuff, even a Lumina front fascia, but I'm pretty sure that they don't make a 66 Camaro front fascia, in fact I'm positive. :) Springer 02-03-2004, 05:28 PM Right! Camaros weren't even built in 1966! First year was 1967! Maybe he means put his 81 Camaro nose on a 66 El Camino! :P Elky_DeeT 02-04-2004, 06:51 AM hah whoops yah i didnt mean 66 i meant 67 .. i think .. it was pretty early i dunno what i was thinking really hmm from now on im not going to post until ive had my cofee Dan Lente 02-04-2004, 08:24 PM So can a stock iroc clip be bolted on to a 5th gen elky or is alot of modding req like the ss monte? | ||
