fark, thats different or "It's nice, It's different, It's unusual" haha

when VHPirie and i were doin ours we wernt gunna have a top, so thats why we called it "Da Roadsta" so it would'nt've (dats a weird word haha) been a convertible but it was just for burnouts neways so it didnt matter.

i know what you mean. these belong to a guys dad who designed and built them, both are power hoods. tried to get him to design one for my fb conversion but still waiting to hear back

Looks good. I have seen similar stuff done on barges before but the biggest concern is structural strength. Take out the roof and parts of the frame and you are left with a barge that could snap if going over a ditch. It would really need to be done properly and thought through or.... crack. I'm not of course saying these ones wern't done properly.

yeah i agree, they wouldnt be road registerable would they?

no roll over protection and structural integrity would kill it...

looks pretty darned sweet though, the paint job is wicked as...

[steve9119]

did they lengethen the doors or shorten the body?

both these cars are registered and on the road and have passed engineers inspection. beleive it or not and depending which state you are in, the regulations are not too severe, for a 2 door conversion if your car has a full chassis, that is basically all that is required, you can add extra strengthening for your own peace of mind if you wish. For a 4 door conversion as we are doing on our FB, the engineer requirements are still not harsh. a box chassis from where the front existing chassis ends, to just before the rear springs, we are also putting an optional cross member from corner to corner on new chassis and strengthening of the centre door pillar to prevent twisting. that is the full extent of the requirements. we are adding a few little extras ourselves though.
