Wow, this guy has 4 posts....Everyone check them out....they are 4 of the dumbest posts I have ever seen. Sure man, cut that roof right off, then when it rains...throw it back up there and go driving!! I do however find it hard to believe that you ven have a car....let alone a fast camaro w/ a 383. I call your bluff, lets see some pics of this super fast camaro.

Well, let's hold our breath for some pictures, then we can all try to identify what website he snatched them from. As far as a convertible goes, you COULD grab a sawzall and simply cut the roof off, but it would be rather messy. I'd leave it alone, though.

Ouch you guys are rough, a top that goes back on? I have converted my 87' IROC to a convertable about half way through that was in the back of my mind although I figured it might leak in the rain so I completed the job.

Look, it is not that we are harsh. You have to look at the moron that started the thread. Junk user = Junk topic. If you come at a subject right, everyone will be more open minded. Besides, this thread was dead three weeks ago.
