The doors pop up to get out of the car. While the doors are open you push each one sideways and they come off and can be put in the boot. The entire top comes off also with 6 bolts and two special clamps. I did the design and fiberglass work, Lana does all the real hwork after I finish...sand, fill, sand, and paint. We are working on the third Storker....650HP stock LT4 family car. The new one is 4"wider for this old fat man.

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys. I really like how it turned out. Tom Beauchamp, the same guy that worked on my Elise, Birkin, and Baby 7 did the fabrication work. We're lucky to have him in Colorado.

Mike, love the way you have managed to capture the style of the original Seven. Where did you find the tail light assemblies? I am wanting to replace mine. Have been thinking about buying the new Just Add Lightness LED assemblies.

Mike,

Your really talented and have great taste... I think you love the building process. You last one was beautiful too. I need to save up so when you move on to the next project car and can buy this one;)

I made a diffuser this weekend. Results were noticeable on the freeway; much smoother ride. I suppose it was due to less turbulence. At some point, I'll get it powder coated.

After I took this photo, I added a washer to each end to make the panel lay flat. It looks much better now.

Mike, I went to the Stalker photo gallery and looked at what you have done to #159 over the years. Simply amazing workmanship and innovations. This new diffuser is just a continuation of your interesting journey with your Storker. Good job!
