i'd personally love to see t-tops on a bird or a cat

I'd probably insantly make a mess of my pants upon seeing THAT. T-Tops are up there on MY 7 world wonders.

Ok I had my anser on page 2. thanks for all your input on this, but Im not willing to kill a car that only 20 exist. That would be a terable thing to do. I may look more into coversions on a bird,(not my tc) but that would be further down the road.
thanks for the input


I have to agree 100%. If they weren't so rare it would be a great idea.

You make no ****in sense. You cant take a vert Cougar and swap sheet metal from a bird. You take a Bird and make it a vert. If he is such an "AMAZING" body man he could make a bird into a vert. Im a body man and I know how to do that, and Im a year away from certification. So far it sounds like you are wanting to do WAAAYYY too  much work, and that your buddy is somewhat of a moron if he wants you to swap sheet metal instead of making a bird into a vert.

I already said that I wasnt gona do it! the 20 cougars are safe frome my distructive hands! All I was doing was brain storming, haddent even brought it up to my friend. Im shure he would be quick to chop the head off a bird. I was just thinking I could take a car that was alrady a vert and splice the noze and tail on, had not even looked at the differences yet. that vert looks good. well the shape is good. the car looks kinda ruff!

It's funny sometimes seeing people reply that haven't read the whole thread. :hick: Maybe we need a section for people to just pop off on. I've seen that on other forums.

The way I see it if you wanna use a cougar convertible and make a TC convertible go for it. Cuz odds are once you've pulled all the cougar parts that you don't need you'll sell 'em and I'm sure there are plenty people looking for those parts. Also if you go through all that work you'll keep the car forever and love the hell out of it, but if you do one day sell it I'm sure it could always be converted back. Personally I think it's a great idea, but I've never seen a cougar convertible does anyone have pics? I hate to do this to you but under the rare cirspoogestances that I fall into a large sum of money I might just have to steal your idea.

Take a Tbird and make it a 'vert.  Otherwise, you'll just be taking the long way around and ruining a rare vehicle at the same time.  I've thought about doing that to mine way down the road as well.
