The Frankenkar Transformation

[rbartongrimley]

It is pretty quick isn't it...

It's going to be a while for the ride along... I have a lot of work planned.



Come by the shop anytime B&C Foreign Car 241 San Clemente st Ventura (I'm there from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday).

I think I will swing by next week if I have some time.

Nice, keep up with the progress shots.

Had a few minutes today....

So I made a lower belt anchor.



3/16 cold bent steel.



Installed on the seat anchor plates.

[DCColegrove]

Yay a passenger seat! Now you owe me a ride! :hitler:

That thing took off at the Dockweiler meet, I'd love to see how you'd do against me in a straight away Daniel! :-D

This car is definitely function > form, but somehow he did so while maintaining aesthetic appeal....unlike some people...cough...jesse...cough...lol :p

What seats are those? I would love to come by and have a peak at your cars. I am down in Ventura a lot ( I live in Carpintera).

So...

I stepped outside of the shop with my trusty cell phone and shot these today:






Ripped out the carpet...
Again, only this time I threw it away
(found a color I liked better).

I Have been sussing out the seat anchors and adjusters. I'll be striping the rest of the sound deadening and doing a little "strategic" lightening and other metal work in here before the cage goes in.





By the way... You can have the original tan panels from this for cheap.

Whilst I was on the first couple of pages I was thinking to myself about how this might be an interesting thread with possible technical information and actual pictures of cars. I can see though that the half life of civility here is indecently short. While the side of me that is interested in cars is disappointed, the side that reads the tabloid covers in line at the supermarket is anxious for the inevitable shit storm.

Yeah, I was thinking I could post the story and progression of the cars transformation but...

I had even considered posting a thread on the whole shop and add write ups on the interesting jobs that we do on other peoples cars as well...

I guess I'll have to give it a few months and try again.

[THATDONFC]

I wear dresses sometimes. And I wear my girlfriends panties...

[alpinaclone]

You too? I luv thigh highs.

It is purely for comfort. There is nothing wrong with me.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yes...

You all are funny.

Funny like boys that paint their toenails pretty pink and wear pantyhose under their jeans.

You too? I luv thigh highs.

[THATDONFC]

This is too funny. I love e-threats!!! I'm super bored getting drunk...

[alpinaclone]

^^ me as well, I just don't see it happening.

[kronus]

^^ can we please avoid the shitstorm? I want to see more photos of the car, ones that weren't taken with a cell phone camera.
