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.

That's not too bad... most people hate me because they know me.

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
