Half a loaf

I've always admired the clam shell design on production cars & sports prototypes...

The Europa, if modified correctly, fits that posture quite well.

Maybe Chuck Nukem can do this with one of his!   :D

He certainly appears to have all the facilities to do it.

Actually I recently traded my S2 0239R for S1 086! I am going to help the new owner fit a preposterously large engine in his car (to save the S1) We might just have to go this way...

Well if you do a rear claim he'll have much better access to his unfeasibly large.......engine.   ;)

I love how the Vegatune image (#2) had the taillights mounted.  I would probably just drive around all the time without the rear clam on, LOL.
