A view from the top
In our last installment we showed how we augmented the roll cage to accommodate our ‘over-height’ drivers. Actually, we’re all fairly normal (bodies, not brains) – average Americans driving a small Japanese roadster.
So what are we to do for protection against late October elements since we can count on rain, for certain? Why, a skylight mounted to the hard-top! Of course! We found what we think is a perfectly shaped dome to encapsulate the roll bar hoop and corresponding driver’s noggin: a flimsy clear plastic dome from a local craft store. Behold the test fitting!
Next step: a match made in heaven when the hardtop meets a reciprocating saw!
Exhaust Service
A turbo attenuates exhuast noise quite well, so we took advantage of this effect and worked in a minimal exhaust system. From the down-pipe, our exhaust consists largely of a flange, 24″ Cherrybomb, and a downturn tip. Oooh, a *chrome* downturn tip even!
Oh, like the crushed frame rails? It looks like it was towed for a few miles with no wheels!! $500 race car, anyone?
