Who makes that kit? I saw one at a car show in Florida a couple of years ago when visiting EG and friends. It won its class and the fit/finish was awesome.

Id change the wheels up some.

Wow!

Your car came out very nice. I have seen a few similar kits/conversions at the Corvettes at Carlisle show.

So if you have that much to spend on a car, can I marry your daughter, or maybe have you adopt me? DAD?

Looks d**n nice.

One of the best looking kits IMO, but feel they need to come up with a solution for the windshield being so raked. I realize that would probably be near impossible to fix, yet the C5 windshield just ruins the look for me.

I also agree a nice set of period style wheels would set it off nicely.
