Hey Doc. I love your spirit over there! Just continue pursuing. And in my opinion, Camaro will not lose the track.

This concept looks fantastic in the fourth image. However, I still see too much influence from the Challenger from the b-pillar back in the third image.

Doc, this current design of yours is quality and, if manufactured, would actually sell in decent numbers. I for one don't care for the rear section, but that's totally subjective and because this much retro turns me off. Also, the headlights need some HID/LED loving to avoid reeking of any crappy halogen feel IMO. Then again, I believe there is such a thing as good design and bad regardless of personal opinions, and this is definitely of the first kind

The C pillar on the Challenger is much more like the original Mustang, but now that I've gotten a good look at the back, I realized that I definitely needed to change the tail lights of my concept. So here's what I have at the moment: Does this work or does it look too movie car-ish?

Working on refinements to the front. Moved up the DRLs from the front seam to below the headlights. Moved the front body seam up from below to the top of the orange running/signal lights. Small refinements to the upper grill opening in shape and size.
This actually looks pretty decent as a retro-ish design, just sleeker and more refined.

More work on the front and some detail work. Here are a few shots in a different environment with some different colors.
When the Camaro first came out, it was available in a champagne beige similar to this: I remember a blue like this but it might have been a Corvette color: Another in a darker blue: It's slowly coming together. I'm still not happy with the hood, and I want to do more with the headlights, but it's coming together. I think I'll come up with some aero pieces to give an idea of how it could look as a performance model.

I was sold before but not now. Kind of a spaceship look with all of the lines running down the sides being parallel.
Just take a quick look at it w/o that line running through fenders and doors. You have to admit that if you have that line throughout the whole side then it tends to make things look square. I guess it was there before but now it seems to be sticking out a bit more and your use of the two tone paint is bringing it out as well. So either remove that line or ditch the two tone paints. Alternatively put more hump in the rear quarter. I do think that side vent stays though. Note on the Champagne color. Although I do like the color it would be a total "chick car" in the say RS and it just isn't a muscle car color but hehh maybe it is a "Pony Car" color. BTW what cars are young women with a little bit of cash buying?? Last edited by CoolbreezeNJ; 03-03-2019 at 07:24 AM. |

There are certain hard core body lines that people expect to see or it isn't a Camaro, and that body line along the top fenders happens to be one of them. Doesn't matter what else you do; it has to have that long fender line leading into a hip at the back. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, but as a designer it does put a limitation on what you can do with the body shape. But hey, if that's what sells Camaros...

Looking good! Maybe but more curve up on the top front fenders above the wheels?

Better with the curves!

Curves are nice, but I felt that the previous version was too soft as a result. This version has a LOT of changes in many areas. Took some of the 'soft' out and gave it a bit more aggressive appearance, although obviously not over-the-top. Raised the height of the front lower intake and brake duct intakes. Still working on the hood. I'm trying a different style of tail lights that are similar in shape to the shapes on the diffuser below them. Lots of little things changed/adjusted too numerous to mention.
Here's my attempt at Hugger Orange. It's a very difficult shade to reproduce. A couple in a different color that do a good job of highlighting the body shapes and angles. And a couple of two-tone to show what it would look like with a more aggressive track-style paint scheme.

The rear fascia and taillight treatment looks awesome---it shouts muscle car and, perhaps most importantly, is easily identifiable as a Camaro. I'm still not in love with the front fascia, but I commend your efforts!
