Slopar72, Well the funny thing is, I have an A500. I just am worried about the integrity after cutting out the crossmember area. I see others have done it, but I think I need to do more research and asking around about long term results. Thanks Toolmanmike, and everyone else. It is nice to hear complimente about my car, I think it has come a long way. It was originally a 273/904 car. My dad surprised me with it for my birthday after I saw it in the San Jose Mercury Newspaper for $400. The owner needed it gone and said it didn't run. My dad flipped the distributor 180 degrees and it started right up.
