Guess I won't be the first to do this... lol.
 
I've been toying with the idea of cutting up a convertible and converting it into a pickup truck but the cool part of it was I wanted to do this...

Though I wanted just a sbc, a hemi would do...lol.

Guess I'm not the only deranged one.

Mark,

Here is your pickup. but they made it from a GP rather than a vert. And i was thinking a Clubman would be a better starting point for a pickup with the extra length and all.



and that hemi engine one lives in Vermont and is seen around New England occasionally.

I agree, I actually want the back half from a coupe and a convertible to get the tailgate.

Mark, I will only hate you because you will get this project done and looking nice before I even come up with funds and time to source the project. I have been saying for months now that I want to take a clubbie and make a truck out of it. Maybe keep the barn doors like the back of older chevy astros or suburbans, Ford Excursion, etc.

I just know so little about you but have seen what you are capable of. I can't wait for you to do this so I have something to copy. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)
