    As fate would have it I can pick up two four door mavs for less than $500 both wrecked. One in the frt, one in the rear;) I was thinking suicide doors,Limo tint,and "special" places for the Tommy Guns:D

    Sam Mangano gets the credit for the idea. He can be the chauffeur:rofl2:

    Since they are both 4-doors, and both already wrecked, if you build a limo out of them, it will keep them both out of the junkyard. So, HELL YEA!!! Save the mavericks! Would likely be one-of-a-kind (y)

    If I were going to build a Limo, I think I'd use a 4 door front end with a 2 door rear end.

    Your poll basically has the same answer for both choices. You have to be nuts to undertake this project even if everybody thinks you should do it. On a nut factor scale of 1 to 10, this one is an 11. But, people considered the Wright Brothers nuts as well.

    Another "if it were me" suggestion

    If I were going to do this, I think I would go buy an old junky Town Car Limo off ebay since they are there for cheap all the time and use the chassis. Then you already have all the major mechanical parts sorted out and "all" you have to do (as if it were easy :rolleyes: ) is figgure out how to attach the Maverick bodies to an actual frame. Not to mention you don't have to figgure out how to attach the bodies together in a way that they won't fold in the middle. I would also chop the top...

    Sorry, the more I think about this the more of an image my brain is putting together. ;)
