    Gullwing and Back Chop

    Here's the best I could do with microsoft paint on the idea of a Gullwing VX. of course something like this would pose many problems but possible in theory with an endless budget The back chop would be relatively easy and something I'm contemplating.

    Can You Say Amigo?

    I think it would be cheaper to just buy an Amigo

    That would be totally fun to try with the $2k VX in the other thread

    I cut the back off an S-10 blazer once and learned an awful lot about body work. It's a lot harder than it looks, that's for sure. The door would be tricky to do well.

    The door mod would help solve the "I need to sell the VX for something more practical" excuse you see all the time on the for sale forums.

    It's funny you guys are mentioning that. I'm searching for a nice cheap VX to just chop the top off like the VX-O2.
