... why?

it would look incomplete, youd sacrifice storage space and ur aerodynamics would be way different.

What purpose would cutting off the trunk serve? If you want to carry a lawn mower or something then just unbolt it?

I don't know about you but for me having a trunk is necessary because the lack of seats in the car. Some people don't mind being back there.
Sarcasm.

Seen it, looks horrible, next question. No not kidding there is a destruction derby car I saw that got so damaged they chopped the rear off for the next round, it was an mr2 and it got pounded so hard one of the rear wheels was at 45 degrees, I was laughing my ass off till they told it to get off the track cause the sideways rim with flat tyre was just digging holes in the track

dont see how u could cut it off... but def, combining the engine and trunk lid to be one would be sick... if u had stuffs back there, radiator, intercooler, even turbo, shit anything. hood pins to strap down.

actually thats not too bad of an idea. weld the trunk and engine lid together, remove the engine lid hold down, and use the trunk hold down. pop the trunk and engine bay at the same time. sounds like a decently cool idea.

hood pins back there would be dumb looking though. just my opinion.

i still vote for stretch, and at that we could make it a MRCamino!

put a pickup truck bed behind the engine bay, leave it mid engine, it would be the ultimate pointless car!

actually it could help with the weight distribution of a traditional pickup truck, but id love to see an old S10 frame welded to the car, then sheetmetaled in.
