Gullwing GTA...

I came across this on one of the Knight Rider boards...

Not that I would do this to my car, for sure my least favorite color, but I can appreciate the hard work and nice job someone did...

Re: Gullwing GTA...

Its good fab work but there is no way that it has glass windows for the doors, that roll up anyway.

Hope those guys are ok in the last picture. Looks like that pipe coming off that gutter is going to knock them out.

Re: Gullwing GTA...

I have always wanted a third gen t/a with gullwings, but it would be cooler if stock doors were used. Neat, though.

I couldn't imagine trying to get in, and out of that I'm getting a leg cramp just thinking about it

Re: Gullwing GTA...

Very interesting concept. I don't see how those small doors would be practical on anything other than a showcar. Getting in and out on a d/d would drive me batty.

Re: Gullwing GTA...

very cool! I have thought about doing gullwing doors forever.. not that I actually will, but It is kinda cool to see them done. I dont care for the little doors though.. im 6 foot and well over 200lbs so those little doors just wont cut it.

Re: Gullwing GTA...

[idea process for Gullwing doors].......

"I know, lets make the T-Tops USELESS and then make the car harder to get into; Oh yeah, who needs windows that roll down anyway? Plus, this way we can put really huge ground effects on since the old door lines will be covered up!!"

A for creativity, F for F-ing up a thirdgen! Sorry, just my personal opinion.

Thirdgens are cool because they are thirdgens. We don't need body kits and all that stuff.
