[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16623113, member: 70025"] You know it's funny you mention fastback geoffmt. My brother and my fabricator have both said that my build is great, but too bad it's not a fastback LOL. When I bought this car in 1989 I had the opportunity to by a fastback instead, but in my youth I liked the body lines of the coupe better. Even in my geriatric years (LMAO, no I'm not that old....YET), I still prefer the coupe. I do appreciate the fastback. However, timing is everything sometimes. I could have made my coupe a fastback as there are videos on how to convert a coupe to a fastback with all the reproduction metal out there. However, since I had the car built in 2010 I didn't want to go back that far on my build. Converting my car to a fastback would basically amount to a ground up rebuild and I did not want to do that. I could build a fastback later on, but it would have to be a "flip" project and after investing all these hours I don't think I could sell it in the end LOL. It's funny how all the car guys know who the professionals are. I think Steve at Pure Vision is bad@$$. Detroit Speed builds the front suspension I really wanted, but at 7.5K it was WAY too expensive for my build budget. Thanks again for posting up geoffmt. I really do enjoy these types of discussions.
