Nice! I wonder how he did the conversion... It looks like a clean build though. :good:

Ive seen these exact same pics before. Now, did you locate the owner? Maybe he is willing to share the cars story. Id love to see it from every angle inside and out.

Should be easier now with all the big buck hot rods being built with big brake suspensions.

I know the bodies can be laid down on S10 frames, there was a pretty sick teal base model on CL with a 355 for a little while.

yes that can be done but it has to be done right otherwise it just looks like a jacked up beretta... it doesn't sit nice and low if you don't lay the frame INTO the body.

Is the Beretta unibody any weaker then the 69 Camaro body?

I mean the rear end on the Camaro is just welded to the floor pan.

its not as strong where it would need to be like the camaro unibody.

After a few good launches in a nice healthy built v8 in that camaro makes opening the doors a challenge, dont even factor in some structural rotting...
