Looks kind of like the beginnings of a mad crazy beach machine.

are you trying to make a cabriolet or maybe something similar to this ... (i know it is a different car, but at this stage you have options.)

Two questions:

Does the air filter rub any?

Do you feel the chassis flex?

in the last couple of pics you can see i pointed it forward. so no.

yes. the chassis flexes and shakes a-lot. as soon as i cut the roof the chassis seperated like half an inch.
its still pretty solid though.

Im not building anything....

the ride height in the back went from 1/2" to like 2-1/2"
so much weight...this thing flies btw. reminds me of that artivcle where they chopped that corolla up and kept doing quarter miles.
