Found this on a local forum, thought I would share...
I think it actually looks cool.

Looks cool, but I can guarantee that is a death trap.

They took away a WHOLE shit ton of structural support.

I'll be honest. That's pretty cool.

Like our lowered DSMs that put our heads at bumper height aren't death traps?

4 Star crash test saftey rating, atleast with the 1gs.


I'm cool with that, I'd rather not have a civics body crumple on top of me because it lacks support.

Actually not that bad.

I like it..But it looks like they just cut a crx in half and added an s10 bed..Wait untill this weekend..Were gonna take the hatch of my 1g, and see how it looks. Ever seen a 1g El Camino?

This is the weirdest thing, . I ran into a guy with a CRX that did the same thing. But this one was in Alabama, so it was exceptable

With an F150 rear end..that's pretty cool..

Wow! I live in Arkansas and I haven't even seen something like that yet...we do have a spare CRX sittin out back though

For a honduh it actually looks cool. When i take my hatch off my eclipse, if i like the look then i will be doing sumthing like that to it. Soon my eclipse will be losing its daily driver status so why not have a little fun with her.

For the recrord, rancheros are so much better then elkys.

I like the first one. It would look even better with paint. The second one (crx) looks kinda weird with the shortened s-10 rear.

How is a Ranchero better than an El Camino?
Wasn't the El Camino first? Making a Ranchero just a copy?.

Plus the Ranchero is Ford.....


ELCAMINO FOR THE WIN!

Hell no. First Ranchero was built in '57, first Elky in '59. My ranchero is a 79 (the last model year) its a ltd2 front end, coolest headlights ever put on a car. Its a gt package witch has a ford 351 block bored out to 400 cid by ford. She shits an gets

BAH! Subaru Brat FTW!

I'd still take an El Camino over an ugly Ranchero, any day.

That doesn't look like an S10 to you?

i love el caminos and i would love to build my own car/truck if i had the time. I even made acouple of photoshops of some cars i would love to see made into one..

found one of the photoshops i did, one is the new dodge avenger


i think that would make a pimp sports truck

Wow that Avenger Concept doesn't actually look too bad.

Okay, those have support, but who's saying this honduh does?
I don't see any bars.

Looks like there is a FMIC stuffed in the bumper too

You're right.

As far as no support for the car's frame, there isn't a difference from an old average pickups integrity as long as there is a panel boxing them in behind the 2 front seats. That alone increases it's stiffness.

I guess so, but you haven't taken into account if you roll it....

There is no difference a flat panel does that triangulation if it were in a situation like that.

The roof will crumple regardless.
