    Exactly!

    And you have just backed up my viewpoint. There is nothing at all wrong with 100 point concours restoration as long as you get back in the thing and try and wear it out again ... along will come patina again :).

    Its interesting to note that modern carbon fiber racing seats follow a virtually identical design.

    Way to go Steve! Just goes to show he actually was the coolest guy ever.

    Curious as to the specific patent. Obviously bucket seats were already around.

    Took her for a nice drive today. She's really wonderful and a lot of fun to drive. She came with tons of spares and original records and parts including her original 67 dash.

    The fact that you maintain and drive your cars the way you do is wonderful. It's so cool to see something like this, which could easily spend the rest of eternity in a museum, on the road!

    Or, off the road - as would be fitting in this example...

    I'll definitely take her off road but we have to go through her completely before I do.

    Jim, I remember the first time I saw a picture of the Baja Boot in a car magazine; in the 7th grade I think it was. Probably Car Craft or Hot Rod, and it made a big impression on me. I'm glad to see it is still around and in such nice condition. Have fun with it.

    Thanks! I bet it was "Hot Rod" as a copy of that mag came with her.

    I would have "pins and needles" just thinking about all the fun that toolbag has seen.

    Amazing.

    LOVE that photo...what a contrast

    the Dino and the BEAST! That thing reminds me of a toy my kid used to play with (it was called a 'flip car') that had big rubber tires and ran upright, upside down, etc....wheels just kept spinning and the car kept going! It's a full size flip car! keep it upright though :)

    Mr. G.,
    The PDF I attached is from McQueen's Machines and shows both Boots with nose pieces, although one buggy, #11, looks like it has a removeable hard top; the other, #7 which I think is yours, is clearly a total soft top affair.
