Default Coupe60 chopped

Everyone by now should have seen the new concept car from Holden called the Coupe60


Ive chopped a HSV427 front end onto it and fitted new HSV427 wheels to it as well

Wow. Great chop.

CK you're not crazy or anything, of course the Coupe 60 front is better!

That's pretty damn cool man.

And I love the W427 front end. Looks horn.

Yeah Thanks guys , The Hsv front turned out pretty good i thought, the wheels were on a bit different angle but fitted ok too. The firebird was tricky to get the front to look right

I hadn't done much to the front, just extended the grille out to the headlights, made the top of the centre part between the grille wider and then changed all the front lights to smaller round ones. Then added a support bar between the brake ducts,
Heres a GTO version of this coupe60 but please note that i DID NOT do this chop, It is the pic that i used to chop my firebird version from
