Gullwings can't be done, especially not on an SVX. Doing it on any car is HARD, if even do-able - the amount of structural integrity needed is enormous, and everything down to the shape of the door itself on the DeLorean was made around those Gullwings. (Same with the old Benz... 300SL was it?)

I REALLY like those butterflies, but I bet we couldnt do that either with leaving our windows the way they are. Glass is the enemy in an exercise such as this, and we have ALOT of it. BUT, I bet if you swapped out the "top" glass piece for some reinforced metals, you could pull it off... (along with lots of other modifications too)
