[LargeFormat] Hello all

[Brock Nanson]

Mmmm, the clearance on that car leaves much to be desired... Last time I 
was on that path, it would have been a job to get a wheelbarrow 
through.  Not to mention that I don't really want to lose the 'original' 
condition of the car with a bolted on platform.  It would sorta miss the 
point of not having a roof, don't you think?
