The structural rigidity is my biggest concern. I happen to have a friend stationed at New London only 20 miles away, and the seller is retired USCG, so he was very honest about the car and gave me additional pics showing the reinforcement. My buddy drove up with 3 of his friends and they went cruising around town in the car and said it was awesome. They played with everything and had no problems at all!
He looked under the car and commented on the extra bracing. I've got a welder...so I will likely be adding some ladder bar or box steel anyways. Yes, a 4 or 5 speed conversion WILL happen!
It should be a really nice ride. I plan on using the old roof to mold a fiberglass temporary roof for it for when I want to park it outside or possibly for cruising in on inclement weather days.
Yes, I'm also concerned about a rollover, so the Vogtlands will be on it VERY soon!
