    Quality work done by professionals. The conversion can not be told from a car that started life as a two door.

    Looking great and with a nice topchop.
    I had a 49 Merc coupe from Chili and man it was rough, but this one looks like a great start.

    I've seen 2 door chops that weren't proportioned that well. Excellently done.

    Nice conversion from a more door to a coupe, nothing worse than not looking in proportion.
