Sally's Garage

I stole 's custom hood... Sorry , i've wanted to hump it for a while... I think it's the ricer inside of me that tries to hide behind 'it's for performance' comments.

going to go glossy black on the hood...


and here's a side shot,

geez that back wheel is floating in there... light little lady is ready to be lowered.


a shot of the engine bay as it stands now...

mmm... all that space... leaves more bolts readily exposed to be broken...


she's ready for another wash and wax job, but i'll be happy that i'm doing it to a car that runs now. I'll be posting up my laundry list of things to do, and things already done later today... these are just a couple of updated pics that i finally got around to uploading to reward her for running, and leaking oil.

I think the only way to safely/DOT legal way to do it is put them on a roll bar. Say you get into an accident with 5 point harnesses anchored to the floorboards. The problem you will be facing is that if you get hit hard enough or wreck hard enough the car will flex and bend. Thus, the floorboards and chassis is going to flex creating slack in your seatbelts and therefore doing no good. The reason stock seatbelts work is because they are attatched to the B pillar and other stronger points in the car. A good rollcage will stiffen your chassis and prevent the accordion effect.

BTW, beautiful car. Mine is a close twin.
