You can only attach 3 pictures per thread, you're gonna have to delete some of those or else a moderator will.

Re: 88' camaro 350 project 5yrs in the making!

the car looks great. did you complete the targa top conversion and did you use glass or steel for the top. how do the seals work if completed.
