RadRidesByDan Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) 06 Camaro Roadster......got rid of the roof, scratchbuilt the rear deck, the 2 roll bars, used the intrerior of the 98 Corvette, seats from the Dodge Sidewinder, front air dam from the Mitsubishi Eclips that was cut and stretched almost 5/16 in the middle, and the wheels of the SSR die cast model truck. The original hubs were removed and replaced with 1/4 inch tubing to fith the Camaro spindles.

Randy Kern Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Welcome Dan, you'll find this a nice haven also. Your convertible conversion is one smooth beauty. All the mods look great, and the front end work makes it look really mean, like it's got pincers! I have a Nomad conversion of this kit to do sometime. Very cool build.

ismaelg Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nice conversion! Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nice job on the convertible conversion and the re-styling of the body. The paint looks great and flawless. It will be interesting to see if GM will bring out a convertible version of this car as they deal with the high gas prices and hard times in the auto industry. I sure hope those pictures were taken several months ago, I would hate to think that you have snow already ! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I sure hope those pictures were taken several months ago, I would hate to think that you have snow already ! Mike He's in Calgary. You never know! BTW...I also am not a fan of the new Camaro... I think GM missed the boat on the styling, but I do like what you've done to it.
