Looking GREAT AD!

I showed this my son last night and suggested we build one when he was a little older.

When I said "yes" to his question of "Can you drive it on the road"...he said "cool".   8)
If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.

ah I've got a tarp just for that purpose! Oh and drain holes in the floor.  :rofl2:

TopGun - its not too bad at all to build - probably easier than a ground up restoration (no rust to deal with). Mine has taken a long time since I've got three little kids, we keep moving and its currently at my sister in law's house (making a tow bar to move home soon).

will do. Oh and on the roof thing - it would be tough as well getting in and out of - much like getting in and out of a Triumph GT6 using only the windows.
Yeah, you should have seen the Exige, I could do it easily but new passengers would end up crawling out onto the sidewalk.  :rofl2: :rofl2:
