Being a fan and not a racer....I think its cool, but I'm sure there is some hassles that come along
 
The brackets and such used for tilting along with all the extra bracing needed throughout the body to keep it all rigid enough to lift as one piece.
 
i had a 57 chevy HOBBY CAR that i ran in the early 70s at the toilet bowl,,the entire rear 1/3 tilted up,,i welded both quarters to the trunk lid,,back in them days cars had heavy hinges so it worked fine,,got a picture some where
 
The photo I have has 1976 written on the back.

THANX RICH


People say I'm getting crankier as I get older. That's not it. I just find I enjoy annoying people a lot more now. Especially younger people!!!alan potter 1976 (2).jpg
