Los_Control Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Cool car. I'm guessing this practice is not common today. Modern cars can not survive being chopped with all the structural issues ..... Back in the day it happened a lot. This is a Ford station wagon cut down. My photo above with the Ford exploder .... A man owned a restaurant, A branch from a tree fell in the back parking lot. It fell on his cooks car. The owner bought the car from the cook to avoid using his insurance, then sold it cheap & I bought it. Just saying it was a good running car .... just had issues. I worked for a tire shop 50 years ago, the owner had a 1971 Honda car? Was the real tiny one. His kids rolled it one day, he cut the roof off & made a truck out of it .... out of necessity. He was poor & needed a car, a few years later his business did well .... He bought another good one & had it transformed to a truck, used it for advertisement. This photo is just for imagination, His was painted Imron blue with the shop lettering on the side .... 4, 15" passenger tires in the back was a full load. Was a cute truck though. Cars are just not made the same .... chances are if a tree branch falls on one .... will destroy 3 miles of the 10 miles of wire in it .... including the structure.
