    How about these two from Japanese builder Junichi Shimodaira from Paradise Road. I know he digs on the Roth style.

    Thanks Moriarity. I still don't remember this one. very unique like everything he builds. Surprised he parked a normal looking bike on it instead of some wild fiberglass two-wheeler. Steve

    Ok here's a dumb question. So let's say hypothetically I build one of these types of cars and decides to actually drive it on the road regularly. Not daily or anything, but not once a month either. How do you go about titling, insuring, registering it?

    I love that mysterion clone! I love the lack of symetry. I was thinking something streetable with perhaps a cut down new beetle windshield,fenton hawks,quad hedlights and taillights, and whatever else I can find.

    That is because the Cisco Kid cut a few chunks out of it to try and make a back window for his Studebaker. Ha Ha Ha

    The holes have come in really handy for working on the interior with the top down though. You can place stuff inside and check fitment without having to put the top up and down......
