You left your Locost and your VeeDub in the barn together over the winter and they... Somehow... Long winter nights... He crept up on her and... Ewwww.... :ack:
:mrgreen: Just kiddin'...


Actually, it looks pretty interesting. I see a problem with air flow to a front-mounted radiator. Otherwise... Hmmmm.....

:cheers:

Yeah, its one of those things you look at and instantly know what the builder has done, but just don't give a damn. Is different, looks good, is a sure cure for the buffeting and gets rid of those cursed side curtains.

OK photo-shop hotshots, how about you try the same thing with a Ghia top? Just blend out the long butt.

Ghia would look cool but what about the QTR panels I like the body lines of the ghia's to cover them with fenders like the 7 would be a shame .

I agree. The trick would be finding a rustbucket ghia on the way to the scrappers and and cut off the upper portion. I'd never chop up a salveageable one. Mainly I want to get some rake on that windshield.

Wait, am I actually taking this seriously?

They look like HID Projector lights. You see them on luxury cars and some motorcycles.
