Scott:
As you mentioned there are still some parts needed to pull it off, but I think it can be done by:
1) After Market Supply Companies - CF parts are becoming more common and the 1st Generation Camaro's would be a good niche to hit Early. As in the Rice Burner Market you see more and more of these parts being made for these cars.
2) Laying up CF is not impossible to do and there are a number of companies in the D/FW area that supply parts to the aerospace industry. They are accustomed to small runs, or, Materials, Vacuum bags etc are available for sale so it can be done by a small shop once splashes are taken from original parts.
The important part to me would be to integrate CF into the paint job directly, and using the Visual Texture of CF to add uniqueness. I think it would be a natural for a PT car. Plus, IMO CF is a Beautiful thing to behold.
I would love to see the PT Market merge more of this into it's projects, and unless things change a lot, that is where mine is headed.
Then at least one '69 Camaro would be different to look at again instead of the, "Not Another one of these again!" Groans.
Thoughts?
