    I'm with Jamie on this one, deffinatley would need a frame to support all that weight in the middle Start figuring out how long the WB is and then maybe start measuring some cars and maybe 2wd pickup and such to get an idea

    Go for it! 2 4dr cars would be the way to go. The roof doesnt have the slope to it that a 2dr does which would make joining the 2 halves together easier. Either that or get a couple vans roofs out of the junkyard. Probably would need several sets of 2dr doors though, to take the skins off of for stretching, depending on how long you want it. I say lambo the front doors and suicide the rears. It would deffinitly be a different ride thats for sure!

    I can build the frame. I'm not sure just yet i will tackle this. . I'm not scared to do it. I could handle it. The biggest hurdle is space accomodations. Still thinking on it....

    It would be one heck of a tow vehicle to haul another mav to the track or to a show. If I had the time space money and brain power I'd do it (not really just trying to make you feel better about it). Any how keep us informed with progress if you do it. No mafia don should be with out a LIMO right?

    Gotta question. Upon reflecting on all the different type of vehicles used to make limos, were any of them unibody cars? All the ones I can think of are full-frame cars.

    Heres the mustang limo, but I'm willing to bet that this has a full frame of some sort...

    that would be part of the build....obviously it would have to be full frame....which will be one of the easiest parts of a build like this. :yup:
