How is it going to open when there is an engine in the car??

shred625 Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:32 am

4 bolts and there is no engine in the car.

So who wants to pull the engine to get into the rear seat?

Make the engine swing/pivit down, then the door will swing/pivit out.

Being serious this time, in 2007 there was a drag car for sale located in NC listed here that the body tilted like a funny car in reverse. very well designed and built.

I'd be scared driving a car in which the body tilted up. Especially in an offroad situation! But I'd love to see a picture of that to appreciate someone's hard work

I guess growing up in Southern California I didnt get much of that NC accent. Unfortunately I'm surrounded by a bunch of hippie Obummerlovin' Democrats.

Someone should make a rear roof section that swings up like a hatch back.
BTW, to us Canadians all Americans sound funny.
