Background: "I found this car rotting in a backyard. It had no floors, had been hit in the front and the rear fenders, had been flared with Vise-grips and Bondo. It was junk! I had an engine and a few odds and ends laying about so I decided to do this conversion. It is strictly for fun and I had no resources to guide me, the whole thing came out of my head. Light weight was my goal, so I removed everything not necessary for the operation of the car including the heater, side windows, and top. So far I have had only a few teething problems with the car. It is very fast and fun!"
