Since there is like 6" of wasted space between the rad support and engine when you swtich to electric fans, you could shorten the front of the car pretty good. And to balance out the rear you could do sort of a roll pan down from the taillight garnish. I’ve often wondered what a hatch would look like with 5/6" less overhang on each end.
Anyone up for some photoshop?

I think DeathBy240 did a chop a year or 2 ago, looked like an exotic.

I did a chop a few years ago. Don’t know if I still have it. But I shortened the rear end and chopped the roof so low that you would have to be a midget to drive it. Looked very exotic.

The front looks sweet, the back would look awesome just a bit longer?

Can you do one shortened at the front, without the roof lowered and just smoothed the rear bumper extension?
BTW That looks freakin awesome!

I love the long hood. It makes the car look so great, How about just a 2 seater hatch. none of this 2+2 stuff

Now through a widebody on that and you’d be on to something…do it without the chop top though, no one isn’t going to tackle that project. But the shortening and possible widebody are very doable!
