Hey all, long time since I've been around these parts!

Years and years ago I started a company called American Touring Specialties that mainly focused on T56 install kits, but grew into a suspension and LSX conversion manufacturer as time went on and I added staff. Today the product line lives on at Speedtech Performance with my AFX spindle, T56 install kits, and LSX install kits for all sorts of cars outside the Camaro line.

I had prototyped a hand tailored 1st gen Camaro mechanics fender cover set that I ended up naming DeFender Auto Covers. I had a few hundred made, sent them out to the big name shops (Stageworks, Detroit Speed, Speedtech, Stielow, etc) and even Larry Callahan the owner of Pro-Touring.com to abuse and test.

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive so I went into production back in 2014 as a side business. Recently I have moved my business's focus from hot rods to firearms and as such I am discontinuing the Camaro Fender Covers and selling the remaining stock to the board members here.

I have less than 50 for each model remaining (67/8 and 69 are different) and then they are sold out forever.

Information, pics, and purchasing can be done directly from my website:

Tyler, holy crap buddy, long time!!, Great to have you here again, you have been missed!, My 68 still is representing ATS with back window sticker you put on it at your shop (you actually took the pic in my avatar on here). Karen and I have a couple cars now, I built her a 69 and a 67 Camaros, looks like I will have to order two covers then. Will come in handy working on customer's cars,(yes, have my own place now)
If you are ever back in Vegas, hope to hear from you. I still talk with Tom and Russ
Thanks, Jeff

So rad. I wish I still had a few ATS branded items, but they all got given away when I sold to Speedtech. Glad you're still rocking it.

If you are talking about the red 67, its James Shipka's One Lap Camaro and it was hand fabricated from scratch.

Jeff-

That's fantastic man. I hope business is good. I have not talked with Russ or Tom since around 2009. Glad to hear both are well.

I had planned to expand to all sorts of makes and models, but the passion for cars left me a few years back when I went to work for the OEMs as a factory rep. Hard to have a hobby as a day job. So no Mustangs in the works.

Still have a few 67/8 and 69 covers for your projects and completed cars. Remember paint protection is always cheaper than paint repair!
