Humphries Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 yeah.. buy another car.. good answer. get hinges, weld them to the top of the metal piece under the hood.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB98LX Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Don't convert it period. Looks wise, it's ugly IMO, and working under the hood is a pain in the ass!! Find an old Buick with it, and try working on it before putting one on your car, you won't want to!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 doesnt matter if it's ugly or not.. its what the owner of the car wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought people posted things to get others opinions, in which I gave. I wasn't trying to be an ass, and the real point was about working under the hood. I personally disliked everytime on of those came into our shop, so I just wanted to point out that factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 My suggestion would be to reverse the hinges and the latch to opposite sides. You'll probably have to do some welding and make some brackets to get it to work, but you should be able to just do some minor metal work to fab it up.
