FC3S Truck Conversion
has anyone seen it done? i was thinking about trying it on my parts car to see how it comes out. i was gonna sheet metal off everything and fab a ghetto roll cage together. just wondering if it would look funny or alright
|
ya i have seen it done too two cars. one was ok and it was very well done but kinda looked weird.
the second one had a porschea rear end and dimond plate truck bed and all kinds of custom shit done to it and it looked bad ass. I wish I had the pics but i dont. |
oh thats just wrong
|
Please, no flame wars. The original poster wants to know what you think, and likely doesn'tw ant to hear insults or smartass comments.
|
if you model how say an el camion did it. it could work out. i mean, that is just a monte carlo with a bed. so if you do it good, yeah it should work.

I agree that flame wars are unwanted and unnecessary, but he did all but ask for opinions. I would like to hear what other forum mebers personally thought of the conversion. Lets hear your non-flame opinions. |
thanks for the opinions guys. i personally wanted to see if anyone did it already. i dont plan on doing it because of the down time of my FC would kill me. well if anyone ever finds pics of one post em up. i personally dont think it would look nice considering the truck s13 from formula D cut his tail lights in half and only used the top part of the lights. we have huge fat tail lights and i would never cut up mine. thanks everyone

Yeah, that does sound kinda odd. I would like to see one done just to say that I have. But i guess if you still had the fiberglass shell for the compartments in the back, you could make a rear window with lexan and lose the hatch. You could drop a lot of weight like that. Anyone have a link or pics of that s13?
|
I've seen a Volvo 760 done this way. Looks odd, but go for it!
|
I've seen a video where they did it to a skyline or atleast I think it was a skyline it looked kind of cool. turning your seven into a truck is one way to be different.
|
I've seen it done to a s13, skyline, and an 88 supra; all looks pretty nice. I have not seen an FC though, I'm tempted to make an FB mini truck, I'm sure it would be the 1st of its kind.
|
I think in the end, it will look kinda like a Subaru Brat.
|
|
i think it would look weird.......if you have the time, money and fabbing abilities and a spare beater FC then do it.........i thought the skyline and S13's looked kinda cool.............I personally wouldn't do it because i prefer sleepers over showy cars ( look at me cars) nothing beats the face of a smug BMW owner as they are handed their ass by a beat up looking FC.....the only concerns I have are the structural stability of it.
how about someone photoshops one? |
|
that blue rx7 makes me want to puke, but that white one looks pretty good, probably because theres not a 15ft spoiler on the back.
|
hmm.. From the first few pics it sorta resembles the backend of a vert its just..... solid.
|
i don't think that's what he meant though.
|
yeah, i think he means with a functional bed. i'd like to see a functional tailgate someone fabbed up.
|
That really doesnt look too crazy. JuiceH is right, it does ressemble a convertable RX-7.
I wonder what the weight difference would be from the stock hatch glass, to the "truck version". If it does remove a considerable amount of weight, it could be something that RX-7 drifters might consider. Edit: Whats up with that wing??? |
that was earls car you'll were talking about with the truck bed in his seven, used to use it for drift. theres a few of the more mr2 looking ones like the white one in fiber glass in japan that have appered in hypertek mags.
|
also if any one sees that fiberglass rear hatch with the more mr2 look tell me
