i wonder what "permanent" means. with a plasma cutter there isnt much on a
car that cant be unfastened. is a weld considered a "factory installed
fastener"?
incidently the entire body of my car can be removed without affecting its
driveability. i followed such a bodiless car around sear's point a few
weeks ago. if it gets going rough in OSP this year i may be leaving more
than just my soft top in the paddock. =)
