I haven't seen this done, nor do I know of anyone who has done one.

The frames are totaly diferent. The main fram erails are allot farther apart for starters. anything is posible but seems like more work than its worth.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
