What is that plastic behind the driver in the pix above???
and what is the point of the design concepts, other than style???
is there any change to the air flow?? maybe vs say the rear deck on my '72 vert???

I like it too! I think the plexiglass divider is supposed to reduce turbulence in the cabin. I have looked at convertibles with roll hoops and thought it would be cool to have a net that has an elastic band to hook it over the hoops for long road trips.
Pictures made during my visit in Oklahoma november 2013

Engine to high on chassis.. waiting for parts to lower it as far as possible

I LOVE the look with the blacked out bumpers......
what has prompted me to think of that for my car is the fact that for some oddball reason, the right rear bumper is developing a hair line crack in the chrome....no rust apparent NOW, but it sure looks like future troubles....
SO looking around, I find ebay sellers are wanting like 250 bux for some POS....
next option is to get it welded if gets much worse.....
that ruins the chrome....next step is powder coating the whole damn mess, which brings in the fact that my front bumper is not that well made, came from car show Ecklers, the bends are not correct, BUT, I have an old what I think is an OEM bumper with bad/discolored chrome....
UMMM.....powder coat the whole damn mess, and get over it....probably cost 200 bux/at most.....
question is, what color?? black is first choice, ok, what finish?? gloss/flat/matte.....???
second is....how good can a powder coating company be expected to mimic CHROME??? close enough for .gov work or so far off it looks like crap...""???
decisions, decisions.....:spit::crap:
