Default From hardtop to t top

Now that I have your attention, Yes my car was a hardtop car. I converted it to the t top car you see below. All done over a weekend. I have done a few cars for people as well. Everyone that sees the car in person can't tell it isn't stock.

On to the mods..... My current engine is back to stock. I am in the process of a build up over the off season. I have a stage four 4l60e with a 3k stall and shift kit. Complete UMI Performance suspension parts and SFC's. Magnaflow exhaust. I could go on and on, but this is changing so when I get everthing back together, I will update this.

The car went through a complete restoration body wise this past winter. All body panels were removed and a new "Targa" for a t top car went on. (when I say all body panels, I mean EVERY ONE)

Ok, here she is as she sit currently. I will be doing some other appearence mods, details soon.

Thanks for the compliments. Still have a ton to do. And for the record, rims are polished alum. I polish the hell out of them.

Nice Camaro man. But... Why the fuck did you hack up a perfectly good hardtop? Not to bash it just boggles me as to why.

Tons of researching. Let's put it this way, every 4th generation F-body is born a t top car. The side rails above the doors are spot welded in. In fact you can order these through GM. Converting the car didn't weaken the car if that's what you think or have been told. Believe me when I tell you that a lot of thought and research went into the conversion. I have an engineering background so when I do somthing such as this, It was well planned out. I also added plate steel to help with any flex that may happen.
