I just want to know if it will look good. If there are any pics out there please post them. I want to get an idea before I do it.

jerry S said:Isn't the trend to lower the car? Was there ever such a thing as a "Shelby Lift?" That car looks like it got jacked up by at least 4 inches.
Renato said:What will the modding of a Fastback do to its' value. I'm sure there is a market for this, but what would the long term effect be....lower resale because the FB would have to be restored to its' original state?
66P51GT said:Yup, seen those. I was thinking of a roof only design for a coupe conversion. The ones from US Body would require some sort of frame or tubular chassis for use. There is no way to retrofit the entire glass rear onto a unibody frame. Even a roof only design would take significant chassis stiffening.
Edit: I read the US Body description. I still don't think you could retrofit the entire rear section with only minor chassis stiffening.
Actually, looking at your signature, you definitely have the power. I'm amazed the T-5 hasn't exploded. I'm also not sure if a blown alcohol motor is street legal (not that you would drive a spool on the street). If you don't drive it on the street, why you would ever consider dumping $5k into a body package on a pure drag car? Maybe the shock value at the track?BBF 632 cu in blown alcohol, Tremec T-5, 5.36 spool, 31"x16"-17" Mickey Thompson Sportsmans, Weld Draglites.
