I always wanted to chop an early Type II (They used to cost $25
) by taking the side window out completely—just drop the drip-rail right onto the beltline. Maybe quarter the body instead of the roof to reduce frontal area another 2sq ft.
Then set the driver seat down between the wheel wells and cut a hole in the roof for an open cockpit windscreen and fairing.
For occult reasons it would be named '
Speedy Express'.
