Has anyone done this to a legacy?

Pictures anyone?
Im just thinking bout my next year or two jobs to do to the car - and painting it is high on the list.

One plan is to build a monster wagon with the rear doors welded shut. I'll shave the handles, of course. I was thinking of swapping to flush XT handles at one point, but for the trouble (and questionable looks) I'd rather go with the shaved handles and TVR-style door button under the mirror.

Wouldn't be too hard, and would probably look pretty slick. Just remember that they're not very lenient at the track

Good point, Laurel. What about drag racing? With 800 HP that's the only place I could use it, but not if they fail me on safety for lack of door handles.

With a 2.8 liter engine, huge turbo, and everything that goes with it? Why not? Kelley's got one pushing 900. Of course this would require money I don't see in the near future.

let's discuss a term I like to call.

realism


he's got a friend.
we call him

feasibility.

Creative thinking and money kicks both those guys' asses and since, as KMFDM once said, 'you only get respect when you're kicking ass' ...

I could see that happening. It would cost ALOT of money, time and effort, as well as no longer being street legal (probably).

I've found out that you can do just about anything with money. The less feasible it is, the more money it's going to cost you.
