I miss my notchback.

Rather than chop the top, someone should section the body and make a reproduction of Ron Courtney's X-51:

The shoe-box Ford top is very similar, excepting the two-piece windshield and big back window. The air scoops at the root of the fins are propitious. It would lose the front and rear trunks. The front and rear valances were '53 Studebaker. I suspect the fins were old car tops turned inside out.

I used to see this car on the streets of McMinnville when I was in high school.
