Hi guys, I am a friend of Bill Howell and Larry. Some may have seen me with Bill at the last two SEMA shows and Pro Touring dinners. I am presently working on a 67 Convertible Camaro to be Pro Touring. The car had been with a company known as RetroRides in Utah and was seen at SEMA but the guy tried to car switch my car with a 68 and then refused to complete the deal. Very shady company that lies alot. My actual car is in the sheetmetal stage now and will go through its transformation over the next few months. Really bummed in having to start over as this has been a two year process. But I like the new Art Morrison subframe so it may be a good thing. Will welcome all suggestions on what to use and not to use and parts for sale. Also like a lot of DSE products. The car will have an LS1 and auto trans., over size disc brakes, power windows and locks, 4th gen seats, DVD/Satelite stereo, Mercedes cloth top with glass insert, Foose or Coddington wheels. Chip did a set of one offs for the SEMA car that I really liked and will see if he will do again. Also looking for someone to do the custom interior and console. Look forward to input.

Thanks Frank. I will be in touch as soon as Bill and i return from collecting my stuff. The concept was great with Retro Rides but they have money issues and poor business skills. I can write a book on this nightmare. I just hope we reclaim all the stuff I sent.
