Hi Harold, the photo is from the early 90s, and I
believe the shop that did the conversion was in Tennessee. However as I
mentioned to Lu, the car was a 'roadster' which tradtionally is no roof, notop
frame, nothing, although some roadsters thru the years have had a detachable
lift off roof. I would have to think this car would be a bitch if it had a V8 in
it for the simple fact that removing the roof would seem to me at least to make
the car twist the unibody. Possibly they had the frame beefed up perhaps, but
usually when you remove a roof, that can cause all sorts of problems witht he
rest of the body, it is not as easy as it looks by just getting a case of Pabst
Blue Ribbon and sawing a top off. Ok, it is that easy with a case of PBR. But
then the next day you have a hell of a hangover and then first have to figure
out who rented the SawzAll, and why your damned Gremlin is missing a
roof........
