Don't get set off. I have been intrigued by a shorty. I think that it
would be easy. Just cut a slice off of the middle. There is no drivetrain. I
guess you would have to use a bus that had no chance for a life except as an
amputee. The weight would be more like a big Bug.
I would look at it like a baja.

If I wasn't serious I wouldn't have made this post. I've looked for some
shortys and have only found one and it was pretty far away...I'm sure there
have been quite a few made but I can't find them any where. I don't really
see her speeding around corners. And wouldn't you rather have a bus made
into something rather than just sitting somewhere or being crushed so it can
sit somewhere else in pieces and not even resemble what it once was? I know
I asked for your opinion and thanks for it, but the "are you serious?" thing
kinda just set me off.
And hell, if she dosn't like it and it turns out impractical then I'll
sell it or keep it for fun.
peace,
Shelby
