We've discussed this before, but for some reason I keep having the urge for a windshieldless car. So for my own personal motivation, here are some awesome pictures of speedster type cars. I think I would want to find a '96 LT4 Corvette and do the deed....

I see those as some kind of Roadster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadster_(automobile)

THIS is a Speedster!

Not really sarcasm, it's about what I do.

Years ago, I used to rice out cars of members on another forum on MSpaint. I was pretty good at it.

At the firehouse, we have an ATV that we occasionally have to drive on the road. It does about 40 mph. The first thing that everyone says when the get off id "This thing needs a windshield".

There was a cool thread on here a few years ago about a beater Miata speedster. It popped up here from a Detroit craigslist ad. The guy came in and gave some details and did a brief build on it, but my googlefoo is weak and I can't find it. It was a 1.6L NA, white with rust. He gutted the interior, chopped the screen down and used some kind of clear plastic. The wheels were painted orange. I think they were either Miata BBS's or E30 basket weaves. He used it on the road and there were pics of it driving around. I know it's out there but I can't find it. Come on oh Google masters, do your stuff.

I'm enjoying this thread, it brings back memories. I'm actually old enough to have seen the original Stingray (Dick Thompson) and Aston DBR (George Constantine) race in anger at the Glen.
