Nice, I'll be in my 13 RR Shelby and my wife should be right next to me in her 13 SGM Roush. May roll in with WickedStangs.

Did they make any changes or modifications with the rear glass ? if they didn't, how were they able to line up the rear decklid and quarter panels..

In other words, wouldn't the lower section of the rear glass be underneath the quarter panels, which is why they also have a rear window louver to hide it..

I would really like to see what this conversion looks like with the rear decklid open

I'm with Jaco. The tail lights are actually crooked if you pay attention to the pictures. And before anyone says it is the angle the pictures are taken at, that's wrong, the light angles high on the outside and downward as you move inward.

Pretty awesome though. Much better looking than some other retros that've been done.

I've seen them in person and the taillights are noticeably crooked. Bugs the heck out of me.

cool- agree the fastback quarter windows would help- along with some work to the taillight panel, it looks funky somehow...

59, two knee surgeries, and all my rides except one, are three pedal, including my DD. To me, there is nothing like the experience of having complete control of my gearbox. I like an auto in my Powerstroke because it is definitely kinder to the drivetrain pulling loads.

Taillights are a deal killer. And what's with the rear bumper? There's a three-inch gap between it and the body line (probably the bottom of the deck lid).

Easiest way to deal with the 1/4 window issue is to have them do the convertible rather than the fast back. Cheaper too. That just leave two remaining hurdles, the angle of the tail lights and the clearing of the check.
(BTW, 54 and standard transmission all the way!)
