Someone spent alot of time to do that

[grandpaslincoln]

A lot of wasted time.

looks like youd have to hang from the ceiling like some mission impossible shit to reach the engine. I think it would grow on me though, could use a better color scheme.

I'd like to see the trunk and hood up. all that work on the body... it better have an engine to match... at least an HO. Amazing craftsmanship on the body, but definitely a love or hate conversion.

considering I like to tinker with my cars... I hate it.

I do like that steering wheel though.

if you go through ads from the 80s, you will find that there was a lot of companies designing and building them custom roadster cars. cougars and stangs and lincolns seemed to be the most popular cars to mod.

That's a Zimmer, looks like a Golden Spirit.

Well, according to the picture, it's a Golden Hawk. They've made cars like that off the Panther chassis for years. They're currently using the Town Car to make the "Golden Spirit."

Neat stuff. Definitely a head turner. I'd cruise one of them all day.

I can appreciate the 1000's of man hours that must have went into that. Definitely looks like they have phenomenal people working at that place, to build those creations. I would have to inspect it in person though, to be able to see the true quality of their work. I've seen people pump out so much crap work in my life, that looks damn good in internet pictures, and on the surface, in person from 10ft away, until you really get into it, and start closely inspecting the car, and find a pile of crap cleverly disguised as something immaculate. So, I'm quite cynical about these things.

It's based off a Fiero.

It's based off a Fiero.

I was going to say that's what the rear window looked like...that's all I could make out for certain
