Old Coyote Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 WOW John, that is a thing of beauty!!! Is the main body 'glass, or original steel? I see you have an HHR also The main body is steel ........ we had to replace all the sheet metal under the belt line as the body had been acid dipped to reduce weight (back in its drag racing days) ....... also had to fabricate a roof insert from sheet steel ......... the nose is a Fiberglas Trends tilt unit and the rear doors are the factory aluminum Yes, we have an HHR LS ....... really cute little car ........ we got it when gasoline got above $4.00 a gallon ........ really do like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Coyote Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Beautiful! How do you drive it on the street with no plates? The license plate (North Carolina only requires a rear plate) is on a hinged hideaway mount ......... turn the ignition on and the plate rotates down between the wheelie bars and underneath the chute pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I really do like this. It would be equally at home on a cruise or trearing up the quarter on a Saturday night. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
