what the TRUCK!!

I like it!

I would have bought the B Pillars further back to keep a more swoopy profile and not so much of a notchback but it's well done and runs unlike 90% of the cars here.

an excellent point IJ

This is going to be bad for weight distribution. Lighter overall, but your nose is going to carry closer to (if not more than) 60% of the weight of the vehicle...

Its now a pickup he'll just trow in 2-4 bags of sand and be done with it.
Plus he had to have added extra thick steel braces underneath to minmize body flex, and thank Darwin it wasnt Targa.

No kidding, it has been done better than most of the cars here. So what if its not going to be a performance gain, it looks good, and you can actually fit something in the back lol. At least its not an autozone special.

I don't think the weight distribution would be all that bad, you're not removing all that much Mass from the back of the car after you remodel it, move the battery down the back somewhere and it'd be fine.

Any man who would do that to a work of art ought to have his ass shot off...

I don't mind it, bearing its done to a car that could never be brought back to anything close to show condition anyway.

Kinda looks like an NSX at that angle...

You would like it.

Your idea makes me think... AW11 style MR2 would be the overall look?

Hmm, I honestly think that the hatch itself offers next to no structural rigidity, but where the 3/4 windows attach, the loss of that might not be helping matters much.

You might have a point there... a good sized battery weighs almost as much as the hatch does, and it would be mounted lower, so... win-win!

Plus, you could carry your spare tires a lot easier this way...

I can't think of anyone better equipped to do so.

Dude, I kinda like it! Looks a lot like a 550 Maranello.

...or a Jaguar XJ from the 80's. :nono:

Could very well have been damaged (tree fell on it?) bad enough that it wasn't worth restoring to being a Supra, so... why not?

I think this is brilliant! it would look basically the same (profile) and be a very useful vehicle.

I always had a spot in my heart for a 1UZ MkIII truck...with gullwing doors, because f*k it. Maybe if I am burdened with too much money, I'll get it done one day. Just maybe!
