It Sucks...another excuse to do hatchet jobs on fastbacks as if Elenor hasn't killed enough of them already.

You guys can't be serious??? That is a piece of Art. Great looking car. Some things may be a little over the top but, that is some amazing work. I love the look of the car and the amount of detail is second to none. The Ring Brothers have some competition. Obsidiansg1, what kind of wheels did you guys use? I know they are knock offs but who makes them and what sizes can you get. Nice work!

I like it!

Not like all the wanna-be Elnise clones ...these guys dared to be different and the form followed the function with excellant results.

How many fastbacks have to die before people wake up? Modify? Sure but this is an unnecessary destruction of good fastbacks...in a couple of years the kits these guys sell will be worthless, rotting away behind some garage never to see the road again and everybody will be sniveling about how expensive fastback are and how they can't find one anyway.

Beautiful project! It's a shame they couldn't find another car to do it on. I thought the green original car they hacked up was awesome!

Hello.Fortunately, they didn't hack the car up as badly as it might appear.Once you replace that goofy looking taillight panel and weld something in for the 'C' pillar air extractors to be re-attached to, going back to original is mostly bolt-on stuff.

I like it. I don't think I would ever do something like that to my car but I like it.

That way too over the top for me. I agree with preacher: its a waste of a nice fastback

Im a little torn on this one, I like some of the modifications, like the interior, but that Hood and the funky panel on the back are horrible!!! The hood makes the car look unbalanced. Reminds me of those cartoon caricature pictures you can buy or get airbrushed on T-Shirts (by the way thats not a complimant).

mixed emotions, from an art standpoint alot of hard work and talent credit required there. To over the top for me, I never liked Elanor so this is a no brainer for me. I can appreciate the effort though.
