@@mikefilarecki Thanks!

[@maxwellestrada8023]

Excited to see how yours comes out not very many people have done this but looks great

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Thanks! Yeah the plan is to have it look like it was almost OEM but we'll see haha I'd like a full interior one day too.

I wanted to do the same thing but just couldn't justify cutting an FC. I bought it as a parts car knowing i was going to cut it to do the same thing but didn't. So I'm keeping my vert as is and will be building the other Rx7 into a drift car. Because these cars are getting harder and harder to find. Looks good so far.

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Yeah I was 100% concerned about doing the same thing. My parts car had bad frame rot, was a haphazardly covered in body filler, and was stripped of nearly everything when I got it so I didn't feel so bad. Ideally a crashed or rotted out one is the way to go. Also I loved my 'vert and bought one because I wanted one, not because they were cheaper. Thanks for the support and good luck with your builds!

Good job dude, I got a fc convertible , it is totally different between coupe，just more chilling ，no more sports car looks. Keep going dude，following you.

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Thanks! and yeah man I loved my FC as a convertible! I've had it for two years now and you're absolutely right. The convertible was that cool "grand touring" that you cranked up the music and just cruised.

i need this done to my 03 cobra immediately.. 😩

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Can't you buy aftermarket hardtops for those?

[@prodbygustavo]

@@Midnight_Oil_MFG. not anymore that I’ve seen online. Trying to find a shop 😂

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

@@prodbygustavo Damn haha I'd say a shell swap would probably be your next best bet if you don't want a convertible, but that would still be a lot of work lol
