That's a very nice conversion you had done. I've seen some of these at major shows.

I saw this kit before and although I like it, I though that the windshield was too raked and high for the proportions.

But it looks really

Congrats.

...I have owned and still own many high profile cars, but this the most attention getting car I have ever driven.....it causes a crowd everywhere it goes....the styling is very different, but I think all the chrome is what gets peoples attention the most....not much chrome out there these days....
...the car still works and drives as always....just looks different....only the nose and tail have been changed, and the interior redone....

I have also seen these conversions at local shows and the workmanship is good but for the money you spent you could have a real 53. I dont see the attraction, sorry. To each his own.
