Rum, that is what the current owner suggested. He said the shell was fairly thick. I'm sure sometype of bracing would be needed on the backside of the shell.

I like the idea of a car with bad manners. For me it's part of it. I realize there'll be no family Sunday afternoon drives in the country.

I've ran a spool on the street before (my tires were not as wide or sticky). I don't beleive 40 spline will break on a turn.

I'll check out Alan Johnson's shop. thanks.

Appreciate the replies. I'm driving to see the car this weekend.
