This car is more questions than answers

Questions answered: What would a last-gen LeSabre look like as a convertible? Answer: Really damn good why the hell didn't they do this.

Questions asked: WHY?

Losing the C pillar really makes it look like less of a Grandpa car, but why the lack of a grille? And why on earth is the rear lowered more than the front?

Why is the dash popped up on the right side? Good job on the speakers and reapulstory, though. Looks pretty decent.

UM.

Why would you put a super-busy graphic like that on here? It looked decent (aside from the rims) before you did that. Ugh.

Also, them speakers. WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB (trying to fill up space to get to the next line) WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB.

Whatever.

Why, again, is it lower in the back? This isn't a truck, you don't do the Alabama Squat in a luxury sedan. Though I will say yet again this looks better (the idea of this car as a convertible) than any convertible available at the time (I dislike wedges)

Bonus hellaflush Buick. Not sure why the trunk lid is rippling like that/misaligned. Hell, all of the body panels look misaligned. I'm pretty sure the car is collapsing in on itself due to losing half of its structure. Perhaps a targa-top conversion a-la Fiat 500 would have been better?

No Bueno. I'll bet the underside looks like some spaghetti.

It's lower in the back because cutting out the front fenders to allow similar levels of quasi-functional drop with the giganto-wheels might've looked dumb or something. Since he probably didn't want to need a whole parking lot to turn around, but wanted maximum low across the board, this happened.

Now, if it'd been methgineered instead of crackgineered, you'd stand about 30% chance of some hideous girders of square tube stock under there, that would scrape periodically and only keep it stiff until the welds cracked.

Yeah, taking a look at the suspension setup of my car... you can't really get any low in the front without some serious money expenditure.

Those doors pretty much destroyed all my words. So. Have this.

Where is the build thread. I must read it.

And we both know the achievement of Maximum Low is not where all the money went, here.

I can see that. If the suspension weren't ruined, it wasn't painted yellow, it didn't have an awful looking interior, the workmanship wasn't shoddy, it wasn't wearing giant chrome rims, it didn't have ugly graphics, it didn't have smoked headlights and taillights and it didn't have a dumb sticker on the windshield it might be alright.

I couldn't find one, Just a bunch of pictures .

Yeah, a stock LeSabre with the top chopped off would be a pretty decent looking convertible. This is hideous, but whatever.

No, no, despite me poking fun, i do agree with your original point. The Stock car is just a touch "bubbly" for my taste. Chopping the top makes it much more "slab" like, which is badass.

Yup, like I said in the post the C-pillar is the one part that makes it way too "grandpa-car" to really look sporty. Ditch that and you have a Dodge Challenger that someone took the "autosmooth" tool to. Could use an inch lower, possibly, but nothing excessive.
