Hey! like the others I dont have much time here, but i want to thank you all for the ideas again. a pop top is in my dreams, in the meantime im trying to figure out a way to get the most out of the extra height (storage, dance parties...). if i had a waterbed sitting around i would seriously entertain it. i have. little tacky though.

finally, i am absolutely changing the rear end, but because it means a compromise in acceleration and taller gears are a little more flimsy i'm looking at wheel size and OD gear ratio first. Then final gear to get the engine to the target rpm at 70mph, yes? Whatever that heck that rpm might be.

johnpr, on point with everything as always. thanks again, i love the ideas! i'll have to throw in a picture of the frontal area for some laughs.
