If anyone in the Toronto/GTA area has or knows of an 82 - 90 Camaro of Firebird I need a rear hatch section donor to help with remolding the rear of the car.
edit:I will even come and remove it myself.

Looks *much* cooler with the glass than the wagon top. Fits surprisingly closely, too. If you put a little more time/thought into it, you could make the hinges and back end such that you could run with or without the glass, depending on the weather and your mood. Keep up the good work!
Is the glass going to interfear with ventilation to the engine. i would put a dark tint on the glass and make people have to find out whats under the hood.
I will try to get a good side view pic for you to do up with your photo shiop skills but no red please I am going tangerine on the car for colour and the roof will have my trade mark satin black treatment as in this pic

well I have started to shape the roof pillers to fit the glass and have step by step pics to go along with it here you go starting with sheet metal I formed molds to make the fiberglass fillers test fit the peices to make sure they fit well then covered them with a light glue then with plastic wrap so the fiberglass wont stick continued
then removed the filler peices from the molds for trimming
now that i have them it is time to glass them in using a bonding agent then glassing them in solid this is what the glass work looks like befor finishing now retry the glass window to see how well it fits
screws will be removed in 24 hours so every thing cures up good and solid

where i live if you take the car on the road unfinished as it is you will be in the impound yard as the cops will have it towed and a tone of tickes to go with it Im not in a rush I can wait a little longer and take it out with all the body mods done and in primer then no one will bother me
Your creativity amazes me. Let's see. You stretched a notchback, installed a longitudal Northstar, mated it to a Porsche transaxle, and now modding the rear clip to fit a Camaro rear hatch!
OUTSTANDING work!
I can hardly wait to see the finished, painted product!
one I had the shape draw out I used a sheat metal hammer and an anvil to pound out the metal to shape lots of pounding and refitting till perfect . I'm a tin bandger by trade {sheat metal man} and many years of experiance Just one of my trades

I'm glad I didn't know this as I was cruising around the GTA in a multi-colored Half-finished Chop top.
This car of yours is going to be awesome when completed. I would love to see the look on someone's face when they pull up behind you and see that huge Northstar sitting under glass where your back seat would normally be.
my name is marcello in the GTA as well, give me a call if ur still interested
