Isn't that just a car with no cage? Does look pretty cool, though.

Kinda why i'm selling the roadglide.... no leanin' into corners after the kit, like drivin' a convertable vw

Ayyupp,,, thats exactly how Id feel about it. & a little convertible would be fun. I think Ill sell my bikes & Git me one,,some kinda old project car, IF I can land one for enough less than I can get in a fairly decent newer one. Sometimes people think that tired old relic is more valuable,,

Yeah had me one of these when I was young and in the service.... kinda wish I still had it, was fast and fun in the corners.

Looks like a load of fun,, I dont know how to tell what year model that is, but, that Horrible front bumper makes me think it had to be from back when they started regulating how tough cars had to be, how much damage they could take in a 5 MPH test, so, Im guessing its a mid to late 70's car.

LOL ! its a late 70's alright.... 1979 Triumph Spitfire, mine had the british carbs on it and I was told by dmv I had to exchange them out within 90 days and bring them a letter from a mechanic. Got my buddy dave to say he fixed the carbs (they was running bad, he adjusted them, but not traded them out) and took his letter to dmv, they signed it off. I was planning on saying I "thought" fixed meant he changed them, he coulda said "all he said was fix them".... That car had rear wheel "cam-out" to take corners faster.... was a blast to ride, not too fast in the top end but fun off the start.

The Spitfire is a 6 cylinder and the Stag is the 8 cylinder. I personally think the 8 cylinder should have been called Spitfire and the 6 cylinder Stag.

I believe you might be breaking into new ground with that idea. I would think that using the running gear from an ATV would be a start - but then your wheel and tire choices would be very limited.....although there may be wheels that bolt to the ATV hubs and will work with car tires. Another option would be to find a Can Am thingy that is broken and use the front end/chassis as a donor.

I'm a firm believer in you can fab anything if you put your mind to it, might not look purdy, but you could make it function.
