ABSTRACT:
A conventional four-door car with its body bolted to the frame is converted to a car with a lengthened engine compartment and a body which is correspondingly shortened immediately behind the door posts, and with the original frame intact and unchanged. Longitudinal sections of the roof and floor behind the door posts are removed to divide the car body into front and rear sections, and the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear. The front section of the car body is unbolted from the frame and then is displaced rearwardly along the frame to bring the severed edges of the roof together, after which the front and rear sections of the car body are welded back together at the roof and floor. An extension shaft is inserted between the steering shaft and the steering gear. A longer engine compartment hood and front fenders are attached.
