Not just "any car"...on a lot of cars the boot opening at the very rear of the car (between the taillights) goes from wide at the top and slopes inwards to a narrower opening above the bumper because of the way a lot of taillights wrap right around the back of the car now, further than they used to ...doesn't make for a very comfortable or very wide seat. That's why older cars with a virtually "straight up and down each side" opening like an old XY or Kingswoods are so popular.

You actually don't need a whole car to do this. All you need is a bumper, tail-lights and the rear of the rear quarter panels. The rest you can make up out of square tube and some folded sheet metal. You could easily use some damaged or repro stuff. I have a T2 bumper put away for just this purpose down the track.

Dunno how I missed the pic of the 4door there. I got a 4door I can hack up to replicate that one but I was gunna cut about 2" off the whole side and hang it in my shed ala the whole side of it. Now I gotta decide if I use it as a lounge. Bah. It's only a v8 gxl fairmont body.

I reckon a Ford rear with tailights that arent horizontally "long". So XK-XY, or ZA-ZD.
Maybe even Galaxie. Unfortunately theres a lot of neglected examples out there where the body could be used for things such as this. |
