The kids were chatting about then oinj kah,.it was compared to a bottle of fanta orange,. then it morphed into fanta z wagon,. well it's a 'B' body so Fanta B.
I have always wanted to know what a B wagon would look like with that ugly front bumper gone,.and a set of GS hood scoops,. I paid a guy to give me this rendering of my idea,.
what do you think?

... ya just need some sidepipes.
Nice job Nick! Looks like a great idea. I dig the hood and clean front end
Although I like your ideas better, there's few other renderings out there others may not have seen from Cusstom.com
Looks too much like a pickup truck front end to me. Dave

I like that smooth front bumper! Would be curious if you can make it work with the rmw grill...

Front end reminds me of a New Charger.

Take the RMW grill and shorten it to fit the Caprice bumper cover. You may lose the 'chrome', but I am sure it can be painted.
I like the silver on top and the rest black on the belt trim. Looks better than the OEM stuck on black center.
On a side note... I LOVE the matt paint on the rendering. Just looks..... right...

Looks good, I love the '70 GS scoops on the hood.

An interesting thing I've noticed with my SunCoast hood now....
Before I "cheated" (I used the OCC bumper cover with the RMW support which let the bumper give a little when the hood was closed)
Now, the grille and support clears the bumper fine BUT the top of the RMW grille sticks up about 1/16in in a couple of spots. I'm gonna have it fitted soon when I can get the body shop appt.

I always thought a smoothie Caprice front bumper cover would work well on a RMW - like Matthimself456's silver/white RMW.
Otherwise the rendering looks nice.

It's a rendering, so not an exact snapshot,
I will do a GS split grill with egg crate,
No landing strip bumper looks great maybee a couple of inches more on the chin spoiler and make it black.

Is it a play on words like fantasy? Fanta C fanta Z FantaBsolutely faBulous wagon. I know you guys like your hood scoops and cowls but i cant help notice the car looks like it needs to sneeze with them.

Yeah lorne i was responding to Jason's post. It looks like the car has nostrils now. ACHOO!
Let me just blow my nose with this post. Ok much better they look like flared nostrils of someone whose about to sneeze. People see human traits in cars right? thats a thing people do and not just me right? Or is it only if ive taken a hit off my crack pipe?

Thanks. I was making light of the fact we call the letter Z "Zed" in Canada, not "Zee."
