Train wreck Countach kit car (Page 1/1)

This is just so bad- Why would anyone build something like this...This is only equaled by the sci fi movie I saw once where they used a couple of lizards and claimed that they were a T-rex and a Brontosaurus.....Ahhhhhhrrrrrrrggggggggg!

Can't post a pic for some reason...(Yes, I logged on and then went back to load the pic)

Here is the address (Go there at the risk of your eyes!) https://www.reddit.com/r/Sh...eones_car_but_fiero/



Ok...Image is posted; Top one is the original trainwreck...Next one down I modified by opening up that front wheel well 6" and lowered the car a couple of inches...Also dropped the belt line a few inches so there is some ability to see out- The bottom one I sectioned to thin the body- But that would require chopping the roof on the Fiero. Like I said, the big mistake on the original is that front wheel well which is too low even in relation to trying to look like a countach. He got the rear wheel well right- What was he thinking when he designed that front wheel well?

Looks to be photoshopped. AFAIK, the Countach kits required a stretched Fiero frame and the body was the same size as an original.

To each their own accord. It looks clean, and fun. Not my taste, but no reason to bash another's build.

Maybe we should all look for the crap, rather than the good in things?

Tony- I generally agree with what you said- but sometimes there is such a lack of...."Skull-Fill"......That it begs comment.

I am a very opinionated........Hmmmmm. Jack-azz (I know a few people would agree with that assessment).....I always try to understand the other person's point of view; My Father and I were at the Car Show in 1992 and saw the new Buick Skylark....He stated "That is one ugly car!" and walked away....I definitely agreed that is was not to my taste- But I could at least see that it was WELL designed; It was consistent in it's themes and nothing was jarring or really out there.

This...Thing....Doesn't even come close- The belt line is very obviously too high but what really makes it a train wreck is the front wheel well- Too low for the wheels which OVER-emphasizes the high belt-line/fender size......Just open the front wheel well abit would help immeasurably....

Exactly what I pictured in my mind when Lamborghini announced they would build non military 4WD.

Why not this a total piece of crap. Hold hands heal the world and love everyone and then slap some sense into some.

I am not telling anyone how to be. My GT is immaculate. To each their own.

Stay safe. Family, Friends, Neighbors...
