Yeah I did the nascar door bars on my racer too.
I can tell you this.
There is no way I'd be able to load a GT6 onto my trailer :)
With the FIAT I drive up onto the trailer and then jump straight out
over top of the roll cage.
Just a little too tall to make the dream come true. Drat.
Never the less I made the vintage racing dream come true :)
One advantage of an open top car.
