The Frankenkar Transformation

[DCColegrove]

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.

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).

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

No... Not so much...

I've been sorting out about five file cabinets worth of crap and came across the CD archives of car shit I've shot.
