The same effect not having your cellphone has today.

When I drove my Willys, I use to sit at stop lights staring at the solid steel rod of the steering shaft aimed directly at my face knowing if I crashed into anything, it would end me.Originally posted by homealone View PostI get that feeling too but out of all of mine, the Falcon is the one that really scares me. That one is going to hurt!

My Model A had a wood floor and a wheelchair pad on the floor for a seat. It was chopped and channeled so you had to sit on your ass with your legs straight out in front of you... and to see stoplights you had to bend at the waist, hunch forward, and look up.Originally posted by CJ View PostWhen I drove my Willys, I use to sit at stop lights staring at the solid steel rod of the steering shaft aimed directly at my face knowing if I crashed into anything, it would end me.
I did not get around to filling in the roof insert either.
Driving down the highway I would literally wonder if I'd have better odds (if I had the reaction time to decide) of staying in the car, or trying to fly our of the open roof if anything happened.

"Shelby GT-350 serial 5R002 on the remains of Green Valley Raceway 39 years after it won the B-production race, the first victory of a Shelby Mustang. I was involved in the restoration project as a historian. My dad and I witnessed the victory on February 14 1965 and dad filmed parts of this race with his 8mm movie camera. This photo was talken right after the restoration was completed and I arrainged to have the car delivered to this historic site. Wonderful Memories...."
