That would be my girlfriends car that I built for her. I figured that if I built one for her then she would let me work more on mine. What would you like to know about the car.

Girlfriend's car !? That thing is pretty slick, i would probably want it for myself hehehe.
Any pics of the build ?
Would be cool to see how you re-inforced the car and chopped off the roof.
I reinforced the frame the same way archie did his roadster. removed the rockers and replace them with 2" square steel. I have 1.5 in. angle iron that rolls up the side of the firewall. I filled in under neath the gas tank rail inside the car with 1/4 steel plate on both sides, it was about six inches tall and about four feet long, I then welded two pieces next to the pcm that connected these plates to the firewall, and put plates next to the doors for added strength. Then it was surgery time, little sawzall action. I didn't lay the windsheild back like archie did, but i filled the a-pillars with foam (not great stuff) to stiffen them up a little. Hopefully I'll be finishing the interior this year, and put my old tranny set-up from my 3800 SII s/c into this car. I'll try to get some pics up, girlfriends got the d/camera for the weekend.

Search on here for Aldino. Its a kit I belive. Pretty sure Don Kraus runs/use to run a pretty quick quarter mile in a red one of those Edit: I thought so, I guess it was sold to another member on here.
