Location: Southern California		Hi Larry I think the car originally belonged to this guy in Rocklin Ca. If you wanna look him up maybe he will have more info on what he did to the car, Here's what I've found. Honestly I've had this car for over a year or so and I was really happy with it. I would've kept it had I not bought the 60 windsor

Location: Perth Australia		What are the licencing engineering requirements in the US?

A thing like lowering (really raising) the floor would not be such an issue on a full chassis car, but on a unit body car, the floors and trans tunnel as well as the sills are chassis members

I know over here if you do a top chop, the car has to be checked by an automotive engineer, not just to eyeball it and say it looks like it will be ok, they check actual welds (xray) as well as how the re structuring has been done (gussets ect) to make sure that the body of the car is no weaker and probably stronger than the orriginal body

I know they do this sort of mod on the f trucks and hot rods (t buckets) and the like, but havnt seen it on a unit body car (havnt looked though)

If its done right, it would be really interesting to see, but the only picture I have seen is the one above and its hard to see exactly whats done

Regardless of wether I was in Australia or the US, I would be very upset if I bought this car and didnt know about the floor modifications.

To me, thats a pretty major change to the design of the car (not easilly reversed) and would I would need some serious convincing that all was good before I would accept it

you can go nuts over here with chopping tops off and floors... no safety checks once its on the road. Some states have safety checks but that's just tires/exhaust/rust/falling apart...

This guy may have been full of hot air on the floor chop. You would never know until you checked and I hope the buyer looked at it.

I bought a 67 GTO last year over the net and it turned out better than expected but I risked it because I saw a lot of pics.

Location: Perth Australia		For someone like myself, its very hard for me to look at a car before puchase if I am buying out of the US

I would be better off actually having a buying spree and filling a container or 2 to make the costs of flying over to look worth while.

The best way would be to buy whatever cars came up that looked ok, store them somewhere near a shipping point or 2 (one on each coast) and once I have a lot of them, fly over, inspect them all, pick the ones I want and re sell the ones I dont

AHHHH to have money

Yip brought a couple in from the US (New Zealand) with mixed results not for the faint hearted ..............

Bigest problem even when you ask the right questions some seller are economical with the truth (I'm being kind)

end result is a pig wearing likstick ............ mind I've learnt a lot 50/50 so far

Difinatly need to see what your buying or have a third party who are qualified to look for you especially if your as

far away as we are with all the associated costs of importing a car etc
