Right Hand Drive Camaro Conversion Ideas

For buyers who live in a right-hand-drive nation, but like the features of a model such as a Camaro or other muscle car which does not offer a RHD model from the manufacturer, a conversion is a promising solution. If you want to drive such a vehicle, you can arrange for a conversion by a company or individual which specializes in such work. Here are some of the facts about obtaining a right hand drive Camaro conversion package.

Cars such as the Dodge Viper, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are highly popular for their styling and power, but the demand is not high enough for manufacturers to take the step of producing a right hand drive model. Those customers who insist on having one of these models are willing to pay the price for a conversion to a RHD.

There simply isn't enough demand for American brands in countries such as Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom to offer a RHD from the manufacturer. When Australian buyers, for example want an RHD vehicle, there are few options. Using a kit either as a do-it-yourself project, or by hiring a firm that specializes in the transformation process.

To start such a project personally is not suitable for everyone. You need to be knowledgeable about automobile mechanics and tools. You will also need to handle the emotional stresses of cutting into a costly vehicle during the conversion process.

There is another option. You can hire a specialist to do the job for you. These are firms (or individuals) that will complete the conversion for you for a price. The advantage of hiring the work done is that the specialists have the tools and knowledge to do the work quickly and well. It is important the firm you select to do the work is experienced and knowledgeable in order to be sure that you will be happy with the final results.

You can find information about the company or individual you are considering to do the work by asking other owners about their experiences with specific contractors. The investment you will be making in the process of converting the vehicle to RHD means that due diligence is important. A qualified and professional individual mechanic will be happy to provide references. Professionals will also be aware of any requirements or regulations imposed by governmental authorities in your area.

Locating companies with mechanics who have the best experience and training is only part of the equation. You also need to be assured that the parts which are used in the project are high quality. Review the available information about the firm to be sure they offer the best results.

You can also go to a firm that specializes in importing LHD vehicles from the United States and doing the conversions before placing the vehicles on the market. This process is still costly, but you will be assured of the quality of the work in each vehicle. The vehicle will always meet governmental regulations, regardless of the origin of the model and brand.
