Damn, trance, without safety goggles? You're nuts! Love the convertible- how does that body twist up from the gas pedal without any roof?

82firebird, I like that yard of cars... I could spend days in there...

Nice one man. After college, I moved to Texas and me and some buddies bought a 73 Impala (or Caprice) station wagon and steelsawed the roof off. We had a 9 person convertible wagon with paneling on the side. We couldn't open the doors. We had to wear sunglasses because of all the metal shards. And it went on fire twice. The thing lived only about 3 months before it got towed away by the apartment complex (we never registered or insured it) because it was an "eye-sore". We dubbed it "The Ship of Fools" and it was the funnest $375 I ever spent.

before you put it on ebay, put some chrome wheel well strips (what ever they are called) gangstars love that stuff, and you would sell it for shure.

I would see what I could do about the frame twisting when you get the welder. That could be fun, but the question is what are you going to do when it rains in the middle of a cruise?? Should be fun, just be safe.
