Hi all!
I'm a regular at Team Camaro, and Jody (camcojb) suggested I take a look at what you guys have to offer here. So far, I like what I see, and I'm glad to be here.

For just a lil info on me, I'm 47, married with 3 sons, own my own business and have been a certifiable car nut since I was 13. I do all my own work on my cars and try to do it well. I don't really have a ton of money to spend on toys, but I try to make up for it with attention to detail.

My daily driver is a 2004 Silverado SS, and my fun ride is a 68 Camaro convertible. I've had the Camaro 6 years, and have done some mods / improvments to it every winter. This years, it's getting the works, including more power, lots of detailing under the hood, all new dash and guages, and paint.

One reason I'm here is to see if anyone would like to participate in a group purchase. I'm going to have these guys design and build a custom alluminum radiator shroud for my car http://www.mahaffeymotorsports.com/FanShrouds.htm They've offered a 20% discount if they build 5 the same. That would make the cost $200 each.

The shroud will fit a 67-68 Camaro, small block, with 21" stock type radiator (will fit thicker cores) and an engine driven fan. It will attach in a similar manner as the original. If I can get some '69 measurments, we can modify the design so it will fit all 3 years.

If anyone is interested, let me know. These guys do great work, and saving $50 is always a good thing.

Jim,

Welcome to the site got any :kewlpics: of your rides? I checked out the shroud looks pretty good. I need to get a new radiator but I'm gettin ready to do a LS-1/4L60 swap so I need to figure out which radiator I'm gonna need...how long is the GP good for?

Don't know on the gp, I sent my shroud in as a pattern today. Mine is bought, just figured I'd try to spread it around and save us all few bucks.

Here's a couple of pics of the ragtop. The "complete one's from last summer. The "I just put the motor back in" one is from last sunday.
