Hi Guys,
New member here from Sydney, Australia. Been reading the forum here nearly everyday, the best forum on GEN 6 Camaro's on the net!
Just for an introduction, we have two of the new 2016 GEN 6 Camaro's, both 2SS Coupes, one in Red Hot, one in Dark Garnet Red, paddle shift autos.
They are here already here in Sydney, Australia. We are re-engineering them to Right Hand Drive, seeing that GM have decided not to follow Ford and do a RHD version of the new Camaro's (like Ford did with the new Mustang's).
As you would imagine, GM knew it would be a huge undertaking to do a production line version in RHD format for them now that they are in production, and all their tooling and robotics is LHD only of course, and would cost them in the scores of millions to do as a production line version.
Now having taken one of our two Camaro's apart to do that, nothing has been designed symmetrically at all, so it is a huge undertaking to do that, and on a small (comparitively) budget for RHD Camaro's in very small numbers for Australia.
Will get some photos up of what they look like pulled apart etc soon.
We are in the prototyping phase right now, 3D scanning everything and then large format 3D printing the initial mock-up prototype pieces for RHD.
Should be interesting.
Cheers
Allan Reed
