Ah, well still a great car. I just never liked the idea of that much oil in there with ME (or you ). I hope you put a secondary shield around the thing.

Yes, designed by a german engineer, Bruno Volkoff. He wanted to make sure if I wadded it up in a ball I would survive. This car does minimal "flexing"
Been racing it for 10 years, no wrecks other than idiots bouncing off my rear quarters.
a few wins.

Since you started one of the more epic threads about "chests," I think a little action is appropriate in the car if not the "cave."

Tell the wife you're just paying a debt to society (if you get caught).

To tell you the truth women are more inclined to get topless sitting in the sill of the "Gullwing"

after thinking about, it I hear your concern. The original owner had a removable roll bar.
we added bars that "hopefully" delete the cage tearing out of the floor.
