Not sure I like the idea, but just thinking about it. Any input?
Should stiffen things up a bit, and it would be cool to be able to pull the driver's side roof panel off and stick in in the passenger side while sitting at a stoplight. There are a lot of potential donor cars, just a matter of finding one that might have workable dimensions... Chevrolet Corvette (1968–1982) Chevrolet Camaro (1978–2002) Chevrolet Monte Carlo Chrysler Cordoba Datsun 280ZX Dodge Magnum Dodge Mirada Ford Thunderbird (7th generation) Ford Mustang (2nd generation) Ford Mustang (3rd generation) Mercury Capri Nissan NX Nissan 300ZX Nissan EXA Nissan URGE (concept) Pontiac Fiero Pontiac Firebird/Pontiac Trans Am (1976–2002) Pontiac Grand Prix Rover 200 Coupe (1992-1999) Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Suzuki Cappucino (has an optional solid roof which can be converted into a T-top) Suzuki X-90 Subaru BRAT Toyota MR2 (AW11/SW20/SW21/SW22) Modifying the center bar would be pretty easy fabrication, but might have to have some custom smoked plexi panels cut at the plastics shop or make them out of fiberglass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) So what do you think? Lame or potential? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.autoguide.com-3573-1369269015.1.jpg) |

It sounds like an attempt to be custom for the sake of being custom. I’d have to say do not pass go, go directly to lame…
