4thgen Notchback? Photoshop anyone?

I had a crazy idea for a 4thgen. Back in the late 80's, GM released a handful of factory "Notchback" Trans Am's. Here's a link to see exactly what I'm talking about: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/165537/3 I know these cut weight considerably due to the removal of the heavy *** rear hatch glass.

On the 3rdgen forums, specifically thirdgen.org, there was enough demand for a company to make aftermarket fiberglass notchback's.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to make a photoshop of a 4thgen "Notchback" just to see what it would look like. I think it would benefit people that are really serious about cutting weight for racing, and for people that just want something different.

lol yeah RKSport has had that out for a while now. I've always wondered if there is any weight savings with that...

I can't decide if I like it. I think it would look better if the bottom part was molded in with the rest of the hatch.

Always looked to "Del Slo" for me. It wasn't too bad on 3rd gen birds though.

Brent, p/med you back.
