Psyko Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nice. I think you should go for a little bit bigger flying buttresses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Huh, thats a cool idea. I never thought about using a XT series for something like that. Why not, its still a coupe. I would like to see this done right though. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch de la Brat Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 If you can, do nice and smooth to keep the proper aerodynamics. Then put an EJ in it Can you imagine the fuel economy that thing would get? And I think that would've made an awesome 3rd or 4th gen BRAT. XT body with an EJ engine and a d/r AWD tranny Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 one eye said: Kinda looks like this...................... Jeff Robbie and I thought about this a bit, but decided against it becasue the XT has a lot more structure behind the seat and in the roof than say a 3 door, and because Robbie had a perfectly good 3 door already.... It would be cool to see this finished though, it will prolly look funky, but thats because XT's are funky looking to begin with.... -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yea I'd use the XT tail lights, its fit the style better. LMAO! What is that Looks like some Eddie from the Griswalds would wear Hehe. btw, so your gonna make a working gate aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zukiru Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 the XT he has now is only 2wd. I wished I could buy it but I couldn't swing purchase and pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I thought there was an XT6 wagon that was built similar to this El Camino like Brat we are talking about. Only thing is that the wagon had a 'back' section on it instead of the back being removed for this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 been looking for the pics you are talking about and not havin any luck.. seem to recall they used part of a chevy blazer to build that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch The funny thing is, its Dodge, with Mitsu parts (Sometime rebadge models) and the Rampage, just like the erly Omni used a VW clutch/Trans (What crap) Can find a pressure plate or the push rod for an '81 Omni anywhere. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
