What do you do when you want to be just as tough as the others guys who drive V8 American Cab !?????

You build a 480 cab, of course ;)

Hehe! This is just a fun fun project! I saved the car from the junkyard. The car is in worse shape than it was appearing to be. Welded doors from the inside so the car was very stable. Fun summer car :)

Cool
you did my idea, one day i intend to copy the cabriolet design & replicate it but with a bmw folding hard top but make it a 2 seater.
Shouldn't you have left the roof roll bar in place. Certainly a good way to make a 480 faster with all the weight you lose.

Hello! Missed your post! If you think about security so you're right. I think it became nice whitout the roll bar. This car is budget that we will use during the summer. Hope your car becomes more serious : )

Here are some pictures of the convertible! It is just about ready now! Will be seen at VROM in Gothenburg on the Sunday! I, Emil and Bjorn who are clients of this wacky project have decided to sell it. So is there anyone who is interested in a "beer ride" which has been inspected a year ahead, just get in touch;)
