I like that, just like the General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazard" (the teevee show, not that awful movie remake).

That's part of my conversion plan, recycle the hood, doors,roof, windows (except the windshield), seats, bumpers, engine, transmission, exhaust and fuel systems....saving maybe 1200 pounds off the weight of my Toyota, then subsitute plastic, foam, an electric motor, a hi-tech battery, light weight stock car racing seat and roll cage,convertible top... that's going to end up weighing even less than the original car.

With a cruising speed of 50 mph that should give  very good range and performance.

Now there's a macho ride.  Chicks are bound to dig it.
