    I remember someone here in the forums said about what would look like a 2 door mav with a 4 door roof. Well, last night I was thinking about it and with my bada$$ photoshop skills (yeah, right) I made this up. :rolleyes:

    I know it's big bumpered, but I didn't have a nice small bumper 4 door mav in my computer.

    Hope you like it! (And hope someone will get anxoius and build something like it) :bananaman

    I like your rendering, and pretty good photo editing skills too. I noticed you shortened the wheelbase too. I had envisioned keeping the long wheelbase and making up the difference with sheetmetal. Your version looks a lot like the Falcon. It's amazing how these cars show their lineage. Good job!

    Looks more like a "coupe" than the original coupe ("fastback") does.

    I like it. I'd bring the rear quarter panel forward a few more inches to see what that looks like.

    Nope. Don't like.

    I think the slope of the rear window and pillar on the 2-door is the ONLY thing on our cars that give them the sporty look, and keep it from being a granny grocery getter.

    Good photoshopping, though. Wish I could figure it out enough to do that kind of stuff. It would have taken me hours to do it and it would not have looked natural when I got done.

    Man that looks great, I have thought of doing that but, I would use the two door so the car would have a longer front doors. I guess I like it because it's nota drag car :D

    I think it looks more like the falcon. I have to agree with Tom, have to start with a 2 dr so that you have the long doors. You did a great job on that photo. DO SOME MORE, MORE, YEAH MORE! Or like Sam said how about a 4Dr with 2 dr doors on there? Of course you have to move the post.
