Greetings from North Texas.
My contributions to the Camaro world; In 1990 I finished and introduced the Camaro convertible removable hardtop in what was then called the Camaro corral-The US camaro Club magazine, in the july aug issues. I only produced 5 of these and know where 4 of them still are. My 68-The car it was designed on is still the only one in the country that has one-well its sitting on my 67 right now. The last one made was shipped to Max Mules in Phillip Australia, The only customer to purchase one from the CC ads. The other three went to Firebirds, and one is owned By Tim Brown here in North Texas--the guy who accidentally gave me the idea. In 2003 and 2004 I did a F68 hood-A Dana 427 style hood with the center ridge smoothed off and a matching header panel and then a custom grill shell to use billet grill bars because I never really liked the cheap tin trim of the standard grills. I dont have plans to start making more except another one for which ever car I decide to keep, But am going to be talking to some of the big names about the molds before too long, I am now another casulty of the hard times and have just now decided to join in the Camaro forums since I have spare time for such things. I havent been active in the classic camaros latelyThe car has been sleeping for years and I have been into antique GMC''s, avoiding burnout. hello to every one on the Camaro Forums. F68
