Don't know if you have an Engineer on the job

We do but he does not have a big butt ...

Good. Didn't want you to be real surprised if it bounces a lot.

You would be amazed how few engineers bother to do a quick hand calculation for a "reality check". I can't tell you how many times I've seen it done.

Got a fat bottom chick? They work almost as well and are much more entertaining (in a bouncy way) when they jump up and down.....

If they are small, you might have to get two... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I have a suggestion for the top. fibre Glass a windsheild frame to the back of the front targa top so you can slip the rear targa top into the front one.

By using two tops and sectioning them together you could make up the difference in length for the rear compartment.

Because the front targa top archs downward at the targa bar you will need to reshape it to get a clean straight line to the rear top section.

This will allow the removal of the rear targa top then the front targa top. The only problem will be storage....

I like the second steering wheel idea, BUT it should turn the rear wheels! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Imagine the fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

We thought about leaving the pedal system in the rear car for some fun hyjinks. Front seat steers, bake seat works the gas/brake/clutch and shifts.

And don't forget the parking brake in the rear!

Another Top Gear Episode except their cars were welded top to bottom...steering in the top, pedals in the bottom and a system of shouting back and forth.

Might be a little bouncy unless you put in some extra steel.


No problem. Just bring Eric Shea in as a sub-contractor. I'm sure he could supply an inner-long-limo reinforcing kit for the project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Great project, Andy and Mark. Good luck with it. And please keep the photos coming.

Can't believe you are actually making this happen! Love the way you have challed one chassis to 'slot' the other in - this is well on it's way to a superb looking limo. If you can make it look factory I take my hat off to you all.

Now get that V8 lined up to power it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
