Hi Everyone,

Been off / on here for a bit, just wanted to post an official "Hello" to all the PT's on here. I see there's no shortage of knowledge and comments on here, makes for good times.
As I get more serious and knowledgeable about PT, I will continue to search this site for information.

I live about 30 minutes West from Toronto. I drive a 1970 Chevelle Convertible, owned since 1998.

Daily driver and rolling restoration all-in-one, :)
Mild 350, 3 spd Auto, buckets, console, SS Wheels, drums all around still.

Heres a pic:

I love to drive the wheels of it and put about 20,000 miles on it Summer 2008-2009, Top down as much as possible.
Heres a pic (edited) with some other Canadian Rodders (80 of them) in New Brunswick:

I guess my first important question is:
Can a convertible car perform to Pro-Touring standards? Is a roll-bar or point cage required or can a beefed up convertible frame suffice?

Just saying Hi from a fellow Canadian who is just 1/2 west of you in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. I am also new to this and working on some mods thru the winter so it will be ready to roll come spring.

I'm another newbie from Toronto. I have a 1970 Mustang with a few things done to it. Will get pictures up shortly.

Watched the show over the weekend, very cool!
