About LinkBacksI'm usually a little late on things... so if it's been seen already... My brother took this picture at the Woodward Dream Cruise just outside of Detroit. I thought it was bad a$$ .. It's the best shot I have so far from him so far.

Yup. I was in the other lane when that passed. I had to take second look.

Mr norms is doing them also saw a purple one at the nats along with his cuda conversions.
As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I may keep, and if I do begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride! - Amen!!!!

That's Larry Moran, the owner (well, he and his son Jeff, I think) of CoachBuilders, driving his own personal car! I saw it at the Nationals in Ohio, and it is truly a beautiful car... Anybody considering getting a Challenger made into a convertible need look no further. CoachBuilders (actually now called "Convertible Builders") in High Springs, Florida. Here is there website:
http://www.coachbuildersltd.com
Great craftsmanship, and great customer support!
Signed,
A pleased customer
ps- the Plum Crazy convertible done by Mr. Norm's is my car- the convertible conversion portion was done by CoachBuilders. See my other thread for pictures. You can see that they do the job RIGHT- with rear quarter glass, so it doesn't look absolutely horrid like some of the other jobs I've seen out there...Last edited by DrMopar; 08-21-2009 at 09:29 AM.

They are functional, in that they do roll up and down, but they are not on a separate switch... they raise/lower automatically with the convertible top. They are not motorized; they move with a pulley system rigged to the convertible top (if I'm not mistaken). It works great. Originally Posted by 70TA-09RT

Gawd could you imagine the blind spot that top without the quarter windows creates?

I spoke with Larry the other day. His silver car is a V6 he told me.
I'm going tonight to look at an 09 R/T Classic 6 speed in B5Blue. If the numbers work out it's off to coachbuilders!

That would be sweet! When I saw how the B5 looked in person, I thought hard about changing my plans... You will have a beautiful, rare color, and you won't even have to have the car repainted! Originally Posted by Ophthos
