September 16, 200916 yr Nice. I think you should go for a little bit bigger flying buttresses though.
September 16, 200916 yr Author sell it and buy a brat. one i might be getting soon has a busted back window and a bad roof.
September 17, 200916 yr 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

I'm just thinking about the tail lights.. if i should integrate them with a brat tailgate.. or just have newer lights on either side. any ideas?
September 17, 200916 yr It'll be done right.. I'm just thinking about the tail lights.. if i should integrate them with a brat tailgate.. or just have newer lights on either side. any ideas? I say integrate. That way it'll look like an XT until you drop the tailgate. Twitch
September 17, 200916 yr I say integrate.That way it'll look like an XT until you drop the tailgate. Twitch Definitely integrate. It'll look a lot cleaner.
September 17, 200916 yr 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
September 17, 200916 yr Cool idea , where did that picture come from ? Did they actually make those ?

September 18, 200916 yr its going to happen.. and its going to be sweet. Kinda looks like this...................... Jeff
September 18, 200916 yr 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
September 18, 200916 yr 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?
September 18, 200916 yr it looks like a Rampage. But there is a great difference, the XT can have a FUNCTIONAL hood scoop And its not made but Mitsubshi AND it will have 4WD!!! Twitch
September 18, 200916 yr the XT he has now is only 2wd. I wished I could buy it but I couldn't swing purchase and pick up.
September 18, 200916 yr If you can, do nice and smooth to keep the proper aerodynamics. the shape of the rear glass is one of the cars most important aero features. it's a half cam back. allowing the notch back design to have less turbulence.
September 19, 200916 yr it looks like a Rampage. Excellent picture! Yeah, it seems it would look just like this Rampage here. 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.
September 19, 200916 yr 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.
September 19, 200916 yr But there is a great difference, the XT can have a FUNCTIONAL hood scoop And its not made but Mitsubshi AND it will have 4WD!!! 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
