Chevy/VX...Why?!

[VehiX]

Nasa is fine as it doesn't really represent another vehicle so to speak. And if Coachreed ever does finish the LS1 project then I can agree with the chevy swap. Hell under those conditions, if he's successful, I'd encourage him to do so

Imagine if we all saw a Honda with a Ferarri badge on it, seriously, what would you all think? What would be your first impression

[WormGod]

Maybe it allows them to go to bed every night with a peace of mind. I dunno....

What about the Jerrari?!!!! The Jeep with a Ferrari powerplant!!!



"When Enzo refused Bill Harrah's request to build him a 4 wheel drive Ferrari, Mr. Harrah took it upon himself to create the ultimate off-road vehicle. Dubbed 'The Jerrari'. This one-off melds a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer body with a Ferrari 365 GT front end. Although retro fitted with a 350 CID, V-8, it can easily be fitted for its original V-12 powerplant. Midway through an extensive restoration, this one of a kind project car is a collectors dream."

Probably was some inspiration for the VX!

(Maugan, you don't have to answer, I already know what you think).

For me it was a toss up between Tonka and NASA but since mine is white I opted for NASA if I had a proton Tonka would definately be the way to go. I say do it!!!!!

If you look closely, that original picture is not from the US. Likely Japan, looking at the next VX over (the silver one), you see the JDM fenders/marker lights.
Maybe this guy (Chevy) is just trying to make his VX look more like a US market model (he already managed to find the fenders). Kinda the same as the kids in the 'JDM' Civics that I see all over the place. I suppose that Chevrolet emblems are cool in Japan.

Ok, what do you guys think of this for the emblem?

The dimensions of the ISUZU space allowed for a couple more letters!

[AlaskaVX]

I think I would just stick with Tonka, the VX won't make sense to anyone that is not on this forum

[pbkid]

that is seriously a disgrace to the VX, why would someone want to look like they downgraded from a vx to a chevy? but on a different note, transio where did you get the lettering for the back to make it look the same? did u have it custom made or did you make it outta sheet metal or what? that looks nice. props.

Thanks! Right now, it's just a photoshop concept. I think I'll have the back professionally cut out of black or red vinyl lettering at a sign shop, and the front I'll probably make myself with a sheet of aluminum and a Dremel.

[transio]

I just ordered the back decal from a local company... got 2 of 'em die cut for $50

I'm gonna get a sheet of aluminum on my way home tonight and see if I can dremel it out by hand.

This is gonna ROCK !!!

its like having a acura rsx and rebandaging it as a honda integra. i guess its just to make u stand out.

that is somewhat true. we here would pay good money to convert our integras to have the "JDM" front end. Over in japan they pay good money to covert their JDM to our us version.
