actually it wouldnt be as hard as you might think, you can buy a fastback roofskin, fastback rear quarters, fastback trunklid, and some other stuff and you would have the makings of a fastback, now all the trim stuff and interior stuff would be a pain, but it is possible. personally, i would stick with the coupe

that and the part between the rear glass and the trunk lid and your there. you're looking at well over two grand for the exterior metal and the glass.
