Looks like the seat frames have been chopped to make up the headroom lost in the 3' channel job, and the seat pad idea was most likely \"borrowed\" from Fred Hidalgo's Stink Bug.

Looks like a lot of work to make a car totally unsafe to drive... 125 temps all around  :blink:

Seriously, how could you even drive this thing for any distance. Those seat pads look real comfy. Temp tires are rated for what..45mph max? Shifting must be awkward as hell with that monster of a stick. I'd be afraid to get impailed on it in an accident. :wacko:

I've seen that thing driving around here. No idea how he gets around on these streets, but must put on one hell of a light show at night...maybe thats the reason for the antique fire extinguisher. :lol:
