    Nice input, thank you... we were thinking about using the little flames as a background and just going over them with bigger ones...I don't really like flames anyway

    ...2 words dude... COFFEE CAN, lol im just playin... honestly, i agree the middle flames look retarded next to the side ones, but the sides ones are better... but i dont really like either so the side ones are kinda of like the best of the worst thing, haha.. i think youd be better off just painting back over them

    ok, with the meet coming up it was crunch time. I had to drive the car 3 hours into canada and she was runnin like crap. all day thurs and fri I spent adjusting the timing, valves, replaced the drive axle, registering ther car and getting insurance on it. Well, she ran great all the way up there and back. Now after the meet, I've got some ideas. The c-pillar is coming off to make it look more like a convertable and she's getting a black paint job. Mabye metallic red, ok, so I am still working on the ideas a little bit. Might just have to take off the c-pillar off tonight.

    well then the roof has to be small enough to fit in the trunk right.if you actually want to drive this daily one day.gotta have the roof on hand if your goin to meets far away and shit to.never know when itll piss rain on your 16 year old in tierior that shit dont last long after it gets wet.try looking up some custum vinal tops online they make all kindsa shit for like kit cars and old small roadsters theres bound to be something that you can mod to work perfect and look factory built.letme know wasup man good luck.

    No idea, I've been playing it by ear, if anybody ever gets Ideas....Me carro es su carro...however you spell that. Mabye have a trap door where the speakers go in the back deck and have it hide in the trunk.

    P.S. Chubbs......ask and thou shall recieve. Might take a little while to get the car all cleaned up so it's worthy of paint, but so far that's the top idea

    ...both the girls together

    ...both the girls together
    Both the girls together eh! Sounds like a lesbian scene in the making to me!
    WooHoo! One's even got her top off already!

    Looks a heeluva lot better with the back window frame cut off. Now clear all the crap off the floor and take it when you go on your date!

    I need more space right now. the convert's sitting at a friends house (brandon) because I had to move from that house and garage into a house with no room for a poor old 3g accord going through a session of botox. She's alone and cold with no one to look after her and keep her happy I'll let yall know when she's up and runnin again...in the mean time, we need a new head/engine (whichever comes first) for it if anybody's got one laying around.

    Dude, so what's up with the convertable? Haven't seen any updates for awhile. Is the project on hold for the winter or until you find a place with a better garage?

    How do you know the Beretta never came with a convertible? I bet you all the money you have and your car that was a factory made convertible for a beretta. Wanna take me up on that bet? At my school there is possibly one of the only Berettas with a covertible from the manufacturer. It was never released to the public but my school has the donated beretta at our body shop. I could get a pic if you would like.
