The hood on the white one is pretty tacky everything else looks good. I would love to have a convertible SC400 on top of my 400 now Can't get enough of the SC's

 

yea i thought it was real horrible looking

 

I would normally agree with you, but that hood is the clearance for the super charger he's running on his 5.0L bored out motor.

 

What about convertible hard-top? Or would there be major fitment issues?

 

As for the re-inforcement thing, my sister has a 06 Mustang GT Conv, I was doing an oil change on it today at work, and when i put it on the lift, the car has a huge tubular steel "X" Brace bolted to all 4 corners of the car, it goes right above the rear diff, all the way up to the front engine cradle, i guess that's what would need to be fabricated in order to chop an SC's top and not twist the car into a pretzel the first time you go around a turn.

Now i wanna buy a cheap beater SC and get out my saw-zall

 

lol thanks for hte info


im really thinking hard on weather to do it or not ...hmmm

 

That does make it pretty badass then... I still think a cowl style would look better.

 

ok guys... two drop tops, the top up on the white soarer, and the reason for the hood.... enjoy.

 

thats ****n nice i like the yellow and white ones, theyre very nicely done

 

To that white one. If i ever get enough dough that i can easily spend, i will spend it to replicate that one. Top up it still looks good

 

That Auto Couture demo car is freaking gorgeous! Makes me wanna go out and buy a project one to do exactly the same deal to it (but with a 5-speed manual)

 

You will need some serious bracing underneath for a car that is not designed to be a convertible to begin with. Rockers panels are generally reinforced as well. Otherwise there will be a lot of flex in the chassis creating a dangerous piece of metal in case of an accident. You would not want your car to ,"Fold up" with you inside in case of a frontal or rear ender. Not to mention the weaker A-pillar in case of a roll over. Personally I would highly recommend against it just for the safety cocerns. Just snipping off the top does not make for a safe vehicle. Though it does look good.

 

box the frame and chop it!!
