Not bad, but IMO it kinda makes it look like a Ferrari 308 wannabe. Just needs red paint and a ROBIN 1 licence plate!

It does look kinda cool though.

Dang dude, you have an amazingly clean ride. I personally wouldn't put a notchback on that car. I would have preferred you bought the whole other car and fixed it up. That would be pretty neat. But, if that's what you want, good luck with the conversion and be sure to post pics of the finished version.

completely agree.


why would you put a notch on that?? just get a stock replacement.

buts it your car, and the notch might add originality.

post pics when done.

but you have a camaro, so of course you will tend to like camaro parts more...

like say, an SS hood compared to a RAII hood...most camaro owners will prolly take the SS hood...while more firebird owner will pick the RAII

Would be cool if the rear glass/ window was removable. Make it like a moon roof. Pop it open some for air flow or just take it out.

That would be sweet.

I kept trying to get an unfinished, minor blemish, goin in the trash, notch backs from one of the companies making them.


I was gonna keep it bare and just run it in the summer time. no glass and just painted out side. Maybe make a tarp like cover for the window of needed. I got dual mirrors. Don't need a rear window by law.

I used to have one of those baldwin motion notch backs is looks better than any other notch back in my opinion but it leaked on my back seats alot and had a lot of high and low spots in it that I had a hard time getting out.

P.S. the rear window can be removed very easily by taking the screws out of the window frame and taking it out on the motion notches.

What about a convertible hatch??? Might need some sort of chrome framing to keep the stock appearing shape but the cover can slid up n down. Like them soft moon roofs they use now.

pimp

Even pimper if ya had a convertible hatch, and a rear engine car.

The shock of seeing the hatch roll down and see an engine shaking in the back seat.

There actually was a comany called The Neat Top Company that used to sell hatches for the camaro and firebird that made your car open in the rear they called it the Transvertable. they advertised in the back of Hot Rod and other magazines beetween 89 and 92.


I think the whole motor in the back thing is up to you to pioneer!
