    Did anyone watch Detroit Muscle today?

    They removed all the sheet metal from a 67 coupe and replaced it with all new fastback sheet metal.
    It only took 27 minutes including commercials. Some of you guys make sheet metal work so time consuming.

    Yeah, but that new sheetmetal looked good once they fitted it to the car. I wonder if the availability of the fastback conversion pieces will stop the skyrocketing prices of the 65-66 fastbacks?

    Do they duplicate all the interior trim and small parts to complete the transformation to fastback?

    Subtract out the time for the commercials and I bet it only took about11 minutes...

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I would think the 05 in the VIN would help hold the value of a true fastback over a coupeback...

    But can they change a set of spark plugs in 30 seconds?

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    But if they call it a  Restomod they can get more than a real restored fastback.

    But getting more than a restored fastback is not diminishing the value of the fastback.
