Amazing job!!! That is just so damn cool!!!
 It reminds me of a 1955 Cadillac I saw at a car dealer in Florida last year. Someone resto-modded it and added an LSA from a CTS-V, full CTS-V interior, Wilwood brakes, etc., etc.. It was sick. I have a pic, but I don't want to thread jack.

I finally got the package tray cut out for the speakers to fit..........It was one of those days........Simple thing....just cut out speaker openings.........LOL.......started at 8am........Get out the little Pneumatic saw (Chinese Made).....started cutting and it kept stopping as soon as it got a little pressure on it.........so.....I decided to go and get some new saw blades with a finer tooth profile...........get the new blades.........go to install one and as soon as I tighten the set screw........the blade cracks into pieces.........try another and the same thing happens.........(The Chinese don't understand Heat Treating or Tempering).....Darn......I dig thru the tool box and find an old one (U.S. made).....put it in the saw and Bingo.....no breakage.....so I start sawing again and then the Chinese piece of crap saw breaks internally..............I get the sawzall out but it's just too big.......Darn.......So......I try my little pneumatic rotary grinder with a carbide Burr in it......Darn......That didn't work either........So.....I drive down to the shop and get my Plasma cutter......get everything arranged and protected and got 1/2 way thru the first cut out and it died on me...........Darn!!......Not a good day so far.......This is supposed to be a non issue and simple..........So.....I go to Menards and buy a new Plasma cutter......get back and 5 minutes later I'm finished......(5 hours and $640 later)..........So......I get the speaker assy's painted to match and get them installed.......Hook up the wires and go to turn on the radio to see how they sound........Hummm!!.....Battery is dead.......WTF..........Hummmm!!!.......everything was fine until I hooked up the existing Chinese made Power Antenna........Humm!!!......I remember that the last time it went up it continued to make a slight sound when it was fully extended..........Check it out.....and it was drawing power when it shouldn't have.........So......I go to Autozone and pick up another Power Antenna.........also Chinese made........go to install it and the way they had it designed with the ferrules and Gaskets there was no way it was going to seal and keep the water out of the trunk...........I ended up taking all the power stuff out and put a manual Antenna on the car........Sheesh!!!

So......The weather was very cold today.....but it was sunny and the roads were dry.....so.....I took the car out for it's first drive and to get the front end aligned.....I was surprised how well the car drove and steered without any concerns for alignment during assembly.........So.....a couple things happened......I get to the Alignment shop......get the car on the rack....and the alignment adaptors that strap onto the wheels were hitting.......the springs settled down quite a bit during the drive.....I told them I would adjust the coil-overs and get the car a little higher and be back next week..........so....as I was getting close to home I noticed there was a trail of white smoke from under the car........Damm........I was almost home so I coasted into the driveway and it seems a trans cooler line broke or split somewhere in the system.......Damm what a mess.....Finally got it in the garage on the lift......I've had enough of the car for a day or two.......Gonna take a two day nap before I get back to it...LOL
