Hatch changes

I have a t-top car, but thats not the point

I want to change the look of my car's rear. I was thinking i could remove the glass and put a longer "trunk" in and then have a rear window at a 85 deg. angle. Maybe give it like a testarosa look. Has anyone played around with this idea? What did it look like? Am I nuts for even thinking it

Basically a lot of your questions can be answered by doing a search on one word:

notchback

Sorry, couldn't resist using a new feature!

WHAT might actually be kewl is to take the NOTCHBACK as stated before, then cut it in half, so you could Hinge the rear section so you would have like a little trunk, opeing, about ths size of a convertible trunk. "Boot" if you live in England.

The only problem I can forsee at this point would be leaking. There are plenty more, I am sure of it. I have an idea for preventing the leaks, so if you are interested I will tell you...
