Default 1990 Mustang GT, Convertible to notchback conversion?

Ok, this may be a really unusal question, but, has anyone ever heard of converting a convertible to a notch or hatch back?

I have a 1990 GT vert. I love the notch look and was wondering, is this conversion possible? Has anyone know someone who has done this?

Many of you probably will say just sell it and buy a notch or hatch but, I was wondering is it possible?

Thanks for any input.

Anything is possible with enough $$$$$$$

It would be much easier to sell the vert and buy a notch or hatch..

someone else just posted this about a month ago..it would be way more work and probably cost more than just buying a notch in the first place..plud you'll have all the original heavy weight of the convertible, made even heavier by adding extra glass and sheetmetal,not to mention buying all the interior trim pieces..

And it still wouldn't have the ridgitity of a notch or hatch and it would still be kinda a hack job

Default Agreed

I figured as much, but also wanted to know if anyone has done it. Love the car and will prob keep her as is and continue to improve it. Thanks for the input,
