At the shop right now. Should be done today. My son thinks he knows who did it. The investigation continues. Think we should call Barnie Phife to help out [Wink]

I had a simular thing happen with my 1980 Z-28 a couple of years ago and found out that the thief was the punk across the street! Just makes you mad as heck when these kids think they can help themselves to anything that is yours! [Mad]

Good morning everybody!

I actually washed the SS and SST last night! (man, were they dirty!).

Looking foreward to the All Camaro show in Bellevue WA this weekend!

Mornin' all. Couldn't get to sleep until after 4 this morning, so I'm dying right now. Have a good one!

Have a good day, everyone.

Is that for real? How long did it take to make that trailer? Does the top go down while traveling down the road? [Cool]

Steve and another friend busted their butts during the Summer of 2000 to transform a '95 convertible into the SST. That's as far as it got before the IndY2K show and it will have to wait until we're done w/the inside of the new garage before it gets any more attention.

There's a lot of fiberglass work needed for fit & finish to get the body lines to blend between the front & back sections. It's not pretty, but it's road-worthy for now.

I had a picture anthology of the transformation on PhotoPoint (before they ran off w/everyone's money).

Here's where the hitch is hidden. Another genius fabrication by Steve. He'll have to tell you all about it in B.G.

[edit] Oh, and yes....the top folds down and there's a fiberglass tonneau cover that goes over the cockpit to keep everything dry and secure.

I have a friend that owns a Brickyard 400 like mine, actually #17 and he wants to make one of those trailers out of the totalled Brickyard 400 #37. Any tips that you could give in the construction would be appreciated! Thanks for the picture.I think this is what he had in mind! [Smile]

The biggest tip I have is have a LOT of money on hand....it's not cheap to get custom work done. The floor of the trailer has been gutted, re-fabricated, and lowered to maximize cargo room. It has a custom axle to accommodate the SS wheels and dropped argo area. The initial rear of the wrecked car, fiberglass front end, hood, convertible top, etc., were not cheap either. You would not believe how much we have into this and it's not even done!
Equate it to about the same amount of time, money & effort it takes to restore a 1st Gen Camaro.
