Steel '69 Crate Camaro

I think its pretty ironic that it will soon be possible to own a 69 Camaro with less american parts than an 04 Honda.

Joe you would be hard pressed to find American parts on the current showroom floor new GM cars. It makes me sick.

Company who is manufacturing the body is called Dynacorn International. They just updated their website to include the new body information! Go to: http://www.dynacorn.com/site/04home/home.html and click on the Circle on the right that says "Dynacorn Classic Bodies Inc."

Well, my issue of Hot Rod finally arrived and I got to read the full article. What a load of crap! The article makes it sound like the main intention of the 1969 convertible body is for new turn key custom musclecars. Give me a break! They admit in the story they don't have GM licensing yet. They also suggest that the new bodies will have special VINs but that's never clarified. Furthermore, go a few pages further in the same issue and there's a huge picture of a rusted out 69 Camaro coupe. Read the caption of where the car is located? CARS, Inc. in NC.

They fully intend to mainly use these for complete rebodies using existing VINs.

Or maybe I'm just overly cynical.

I can see the price of original Trim Tag rivets going sky-high. And to think I tossed out a box of them a few years back!!!! Gezzzzzz!

I think you all should be calling and asking questions instead of speculating. The truth of it is this...# 1 go to our website at www.dynacorn.com and download the new PDF up under Classic Bodies. Secondly, note, the components offered are not a complete body until YOU assemble them. The information on the website and rhetoric in HOT Rod magazine was totally wrong and without substance. Where it is true, there are companies in the US with the jigging necessary to complete the assembly for you, we do not do it and your dealer will not sell you one assembled. Is not going to happen.

The VIN problem is simple. If you are going to be working on your old convertible to restore it. Simply remove the VIN from the old one and attach it to the new one. All the pertinents are the same other than the year of manufacture, and that really doesn't change either as all you are doing is restoring an old car. If you want to buy the components to assemble yourself a Hot Rod, then simply notify the company that is assembling them for you. They can, as licensed Auto MAnufacturers, give you a legal VIN number.

Please feel free to call us at Dynacorn for any further questions.
